Chapter 2 Setting Up the System 27
Note – The AC power cords provide a discharge path for static electricity, so they
must remain plugged in to AC power outlets when installing or handling any
internal component,
except for the RSC card . Prior to servicing the RSC card, make
sure that all AC power cords are disconnected.
4. If necessary, configure the serial port jumpers and connect any serial peripheral
devices.
Two serial port jumpers located on the system I/O board are used to configure the
system’s serial ports to operate in compliance with the Electronics Industries
Association EIA-423 or EIA-232D standards. The jumpers are factory-set for the
EIA-423 standard, which is the default standard for North American users.
Compliance with the EIA-232D standard is required for digital telecommunication in
nations of the European Community. If you require EIA-232D compliance, see the
following sections for configuration instructions:
■
“How to Open the Side Doors” on page 29
■
“How to Avoid Electrostatic Discharge” on page 31
■
“About Serial Port Jumpers” on page 82
For information about serial port characteristics, see “About the Serial Ports” on
page 79.
Note –
All internal jumper modifications must be performed only by qualified
service personnel.
5. Set up a console for your server.
You must set up a console in order to install the Solaris operating environment and
any application software. You can attach an ASCII terminal or graphics console to
your system, or establish a
tip
connection from another Sun system. For more
information, see “About Setting Up a Console” on page 45.
6. Prepare the network interface(s).
The Sun Fire 880 server provides two on-board Ethernet interfaces as part of the
standard configuration—one Fast Ethernet interface and one Gigabit Ethernet
interface. A variety of supported PCI cards can provide connections to additional
Ethernet or other network types. For details about network interface options and
configuration procedures, see the following sections:

“About Network Interface Options” on page 104
■
“How to Configure the Primary Network Interface” on page 106

“How to Configure Additional Network Interfaces” on page 108
