Chapter 2 Setting Up the System 59
Note – In the unlikely event that the RSC card fails while the system console is
directed to RSC, the system console will be unavailable. To recover from this
situation, press the system Power button to initiate a graceful software shutdown.
Then use the OpenBoot emergency procedure for resetting NVRAM configuration
variables to their default values. See “About OpenBoot Emergency Procedures” on
page 138. This will
temporarily redirect the system console to the local console device,
but only until the next system reset. If you are not installing a replacement RSC card
right away, you must
permanently restore the local system console until a
replacement card is available. See “How to Restore the Local System Console” on
page 60.
Note –
All internal options (except disk drives and power supplies) must be
installed only by qualified service personnel. Installation procedures for these
components are covered in the
Sun Fire 880 Server Service Manual , which is included
on the Sun Fire 880 Documentation CD .
