Chapter 1 Unpacking and Installing the Server 37
Connecting the I/O Assemblies
The I/O assemblies provide network interface and peripheral access to the system
domains.
▼ To Connect the I/O Assemblies
1. Connect one end of the I/O Ethernet cable to the NET0/NET1 Ethernet port
(
FIGURE 1-26).
2. Connect the other end of the I/O Ethernet cable to the hub, workstation, or
peripheral.
Installing Additional Hardware
Do not install additional hardware until the initial factory configuration has been
completely installed, the server has been powered on, and POST has been completed
successfully. This makes it easier to diagnose conflicts that might be caused by
additional installations.
Caution – To avoid damaging boards when installing CPU/memory boards, refer
to the Netra 1290 Server Service Manual, 819-4373 for instructions.
Caution – During initial installation, turn off the power at the circuit breakers
before removing or replacing server hardware. Refer to the installation guide of the
additional hardware for any further instructions.
Caution – For optimum performance, use only I/O cards and associated drivers
that are qualified by Sun Microsystems for use on the Netra 1290 server. It is possible
for interactions to occur between cards and drivers on a specific bus that might lead
to potential system panics or other negative outcomes if the card/driver solution is
not qualified by Sun Microsystems.
For an updated listing of qualified I/O cards and configurations for the server,
contact your Sun authorized sales representative or your service provider. For
