6. Holding the two upper corners of the graphics board, push the board straight
down into the connector until the board is fully seated.

9. Connect the monitor cable, power on the system and reboot (
boot -r
) for
reconfiguration.
10. For multiple graphics boards, modify the
/etc/dt/config/Xservers
file.
This file tells your system to run the X window system on each of the frame buffers
listed in your
Xservers
file. If you remove graphics boards from your system, you
also need to modify your
Xservers
file. See Chapter 4, “Configuring Multiple
Frame Buffers.”

The Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerator is not hot-swappable.
