Please take a look at the OpenVMS FAQ — it has a section on the MicroVAX 
console bulkhead and operation, and information on many other topics. 
(This is not the first time this question has been asked, obviously.)

  If you can’t get _any_ output (including simply garbage characters) on
  the console, then you probably have the wrong pinout, or you have a
  hardware or wiring problem.  The OpenVMS FAQ also has the MicroVAX DB9
  pinout — and it’s not the same DB9 pinout that is used on PC systems.
