Netra X1 Server Product Notes • February 2001
Precautions for Using the System
Configuration Card
The Netra X1 Server contains a memory card (located on the back panel) called the
system configuration card. This card contains the system’s MAC address, serial
number, and other configuration settings. It is designed to be removable so that, if
you ever need to replace an entire server, you can transfer the host ID and
configuration data onto the new server. This makes the replacement of the server
transparent to your network.
Caution –
Never remove the system configuration card when the server is booting
or running Solaris. Power the server off or down to standby mode before removing
or inserting the system configuration card.
Caution –
Do not handle the system configuration card unless you need to transfer
it to another system. If you need to handle it for this reason, avoid contact with the
gold terminals on the underside of the card.
For information about transferring the system configuration card from one server to
another, refer to the Netra X1 Server User’s Guide (part number: 806-5980-10).
Re-installing Solaris 8 (10/00) From the
Network
Note –
The Netra X1 Server supports Solaris 8 (10/00). It does not currently support
any other updates of Solaris 8.
The Netra X1 server comes pre-installed with Solaris 8 (10/00), including all the
patches it needs to function correctly. Because the Netra X1 server does not contain a
CD-ROM drive, if you need to re-install the Solaris 8 operating environment, you
must do so from a network install server.
