I have a bit of experience too, and I think I have a bunch of connectors. Let me know if you want me to bring a few.

Which model Ultra? I spent alot of time on the Ultra 1 140/170
models, Ultra 2 (still got one running at work!), along with Ultra
5/10 and newer. You need to provide more details on the exact model,
and also let us know what other elements the system has in it.
Do you have it on a serial console or a monitor? Finding those old
Sun 13W3 monitor connectors is a pain, though I probably have some
kicking around to goto VGA if I look hard enough.
For the Ultra 1 series, make sure the CPU fan spins. They had a heck
of a time with them dying and then overheating.
The Ultra 2 is a slightly simpler beast, but I'd just pull one of the
two procesors and all but two sticks of memory. As I recall, you want
it in some certain slot order, not right next to each other.
Pull the disks, they're not needed at this point, you want to see what
the BIOS shows on bootup first. And if you don't have a monitor and
keyboard hooked up, then you will want a 9600 serial connection.
