"it" does refer to the phone. "Turn it on" means setting the 
power-management unit (PMU) into Active mode so that voltage is applied 
to the CPU. This might happen automatically when you plug in the USB 
cable, but if not you can do it by pressing the power button. If the 
device is "bricked" you will not see anything happen when you turn it 
on, but internally the CPU will be ready to accept a JTAG connection.

Try following the sequence described at 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debug_Board_v2#Hardware_connection (which 
AFAIK should be the same for a v3 debug board).

Looks OK to me.
