graphics board I/O ports are described in Appendix A, “Sun XVR-500 Graphics
Accelerator Specifications.”
The Sun XVR-500 graphics accelerator features a system for identifying the board by
means of an FRU ID (field replaceable unit identifier). This information is contained
on a PROM chip. “Accessing Field Replaceable Unit Information” on page 35
(Appendix A) describes how to identify the graphics board installed in your system.
