Still working on the router

To recap:
a friend and I built 17 years ago. it sat at his place for 15 years unused. I recently went and picked it up and began the process of bringing the phoenix back from the ashes.
I completely replaced the control electronics including an ESS Smoothe Stepper with an MB3 Break Out Board.
The wiring is complete (I hope) and I have installed Mach4 and began configuring it. I have got all of the limit and E-stops configured but I cannot get the steppers to move.
A couple of notes:
I do not know anything about the stepper motors except they are NEMA34 and were purchased 17 years ago
I purchased new stepper drivers DM556T from Steppers online and have them installed and wired to the motors
The drives have holding power but will not move
The step and direction pins light appropriately when using the jog screen in Mach4
There is 48v power on the outside pins of the outputs for the stepper drivers (one for each winding)
Any help in diagnosing this would be appreciated.
