Note – Multiplexer boxes require a transceiver when used with the Ethernet
applications described in this manual. Although these transceivers are
compatible with Sun equipment, Sun Microsystems does not guarantee the
performance of any component that was not purchased from Sun.
Note – Many transceivers are compatible with both level-1 and level-2
Ethernet. To operate these transceivers with Sun equipment, set the device for
level-2 operation following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Set up Ethernet using Sun-supplied or third-party components. Read any
applicable manufacturer instructions to obtain the best results.
Note – Sun equipment conforms to the Ethernet 10Base-T standard, which
states that the 10BaseT Link Integrity Test function should always be enabled
on both the host and the hub. If you have problems verifying connection
between Sun equipment and your hub, verify that your hub also has the link
test function enabled. Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter in the
SPARCserver 1000 System Service Manual and the manual provided with your
hub for more information about the 10BaseT Link Integrity Test function.
1.6.3 Preparing the Tabletop Area
The SPARCserver 1000 system is designed to sit on a desk or table. Use the
following guidelines to prepare a location for your server.
•
The server unit requires approximately 1 foot (31 cm) of space in front and
1.5 feet (47 cm) of space at the back for access by service personnel.
•
A minimum space of 6 (16 cm) inches is required on both sides of the server
to afford adequate air flow.
•
Keep power and interface cables clear of foot traffic. Route cables inside
walls, under the floor, through the ceiling, or in protective channels. Route
interface cables away from motors and other sources of magnetic or radio
frequency interference.
