Note – Refer to your system installation guide or service manual for detailed
instructions for the following steps.
1. Power off your system, using the standard shutdown procedures described in
the Solaris Handbook for Sun Peripherals or your system service manual.
The Solaris Handbook for Sun Peripherals is shipped with the Solaris OS software
and is available on the
http://docs.sun.com
web site.
2. Remove the cover from the unit to access the card slots and connectors.
3. Select an available 3.3 Volt or 5 Volt PCI slot and remove the slot filler panel.
4. Insert the adapter into the PCI connector of the system unit.
Ensure that the front plate on the adapter mounts flush with the chassis panel
opening.
5. Install the front plate screw to secure the adapter into the chassis.
This also provides a chassis ground connection to the adapter.
6. Reinstall the cover on the unit.
7. Attach the serial port cable assembly to the I/O connector on the adapter.
8. Connect any cables from the peripheral devices to the RS-449 connectors on the
adapter’s cable.
9. Turn power back on and allow the system to reboot.
This completes the hardware installation. Proceed to “SunHSI PCI Software
Installation” on page 9 .
External Cabling
The SunHSI/U adapter provides external connectivity through a passive cabling
system. A hydra-style connector provides connectivity to four RS-449 devices by
means of four DB-37 female connectors in a DTE configuration.
Note – Always use shielded twisted pair RS-449 cables with your SunHSI/U
adapter.
