How to Configure a Local Graphics
Console
Before You Begin
If your server is configured without a local alphanumeric (ASCII) terminal, you need
to install a local graphics console in order to install the operating environment and
to run diagnostic tests. Alternatively, you can attach an alphanumeric terminal,
create a
tip
connection from another Sun system, or set up an RSC console. For
more information, see “About Setting Up a Console” on page 45.
Note – You cannot use an RSC console to perform the initial installation of the
Solaris operating environment. The operating environment must be installed prior to
setting up an RSC console.
To install a local graphics console, you must have:
■
A supported PCI-based graphics card
■
A monitor (CRT) with appropriate resolution
■
A Sun Type 6 USB keyboard
■
A Sun Type 6 USB mouse and mouse pad
What to Do
1. Install the graphics card into a vacant PCI slot.
For information about PCI buses and slots, see “About PCI Cards and Buses” on
page 68.
Note – PCI cards must be installed only by qualified service personnel. Installation
procedures for PCI cards are covered in the Sun Fire 880 Server Service Manual , which
is included on the Sun Fire 880 Documentation CD.
