Installing the Hardware
Refer to the platform documentation provided with your Sun system for detailed
instructions on installing Sun PCI-Express bus graphics boards:
Sun Ultra 45 Workstation Service and Diagnostics Manual (819-1892-10)

After installing your graphics accelerator and securing your system enclosure:
1. Connect the monitor cable (see “Monitor Cables” on page 17 ), power on the
monitor, then power on the system and reboot (
boot
) for reconfiguration.
2. 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 graphics
boards 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.”
