initial boot - no keys

[secondstory]

I'm booting my newly built pc for the first time, but I don't think the keyboard is connecting. My caps-lock and numLock keys do not light, so I can't hit DEL to get into my Bios.

any suggestions?
Thanks.

Is there a keyboard error when you boot up?

Make sure it's in the right port. It's easy to confuse it with the mouse port, since they are both the same.

Make sure there are no bent pins
