I've linked a gif of what the board is doing. The (power?) LED's just blink in near enough unison and the orange LEDS (Net Activity?) blink together semi frequently. Nothing lights up on the SOPine board itself.
The green and orange leds are the two indicators from the ethernet chips, as they are dedicated chips so continue to do *something* even with no sopine connected to them.
The power leds are on the sopine modules themselves. There is also a user controllable LED on the clusterboard for the sopine module near the USB sockets of each module.
As aww said, try the Armbian images if you haven't already and let us know how you go with them. To work with the clusterboard (or indeed most ARM SBC boards), you'll also want some way to access the serial console - some sort of 3.3v USB to serial adapter or serial console cable would be the easiest way to do it, and they're cheap!.
