▼ Use a Local Graphics Monitor
Though it is not recommended, the system console can be redirected to the graphics
frame buffer. You cannot use a local graphics monitor to perform initial system
installation, nor can you use a local graphics monitor to view power-on self-test
(POST) messages.
To install a local graphics monitor, you must have the following items:
■ Supported PCI-based graphics accelerator card and software driver
■ Monitor with appropriate resolution to support the frame buffer
■ Supported USB keyboard
■ Supported USB mouse
1. Install the graphics card into an appropriate PCI slot.
Installation must be performed by a qualified service provider. For further
information, refer to the service manual for your server or contact your qualified
service provider.
2. Attach the monitor’s video cable to the graphics card’s video port.
Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the connection.
3. Connect the monitor’s power cord to an AC outlet.
4. Connect the USB keyboard cable to one USB port.
5. Connect the USB mouse cable to another USB port on the SPARC Enterprise
T5140 or T5240 server.
