does the router turn on the LEDs when booting? what settings did you enter when connecting with serial console?

yes the router turn on the LED’s,i did the power up using POE (ether1), i did this setup for the serial console in the hyper terminal

i made special null modem cable as per the mikrotik refernce manual

again i cant find any boot up from the board.

I had problems connecting via the serial cable and found that the cable I was using was bad or had an incorrect pin-out..

Get a hold of a known good cable and try connecting again.

Try baud-rate=9600 for HyperTerminal program.

Change Ethernet cable, connect RouterBOARD to one switch with PC, check leds after switching on BOARD for Neighbor Viewer or MAC-Winbox accessing.
