How to Configure a Local Graphics
Console
Before You Begin
If your server is configured without a local graphics console, you need to install one
in order to install the system and to run diagnostic tests. For background
information, see “About Communicating With the Server” on page 28.
Alternatively, you can attach an alphanumeric (ASCII) terminal (or a modem serial
line) to the system’s serial port; see “How to Attach an Alphanumeric (ASCII)
Terminal” on page 29.
To install a local graphics console, you must have:
A supported PCI-based graphics frame buffer card
A monitor with appropriate resolution
A Sun-compatible keyboard
A Sun-compatible mouse and mouse pad
What to Do
1. Install the graphics card into a vacant PCI slot.
Note Installation must be performed by a qualified service provider. For further
information, see the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual, or contact your
qualified service provider.
