4 Sun Fire V490 Server Administration Guide • August 2004
Note – To set up a serial connection using a Sun workstation or an ASCII terminal,
insert the RJ-45 serial cable into the DB-25 adapter (Sun part number 530-2889-03)
supplied in the ship kit. Plug in the adapter to the DB-25 serial connector on the
terminal or the Sun workstation. If you are using a network terminal server (NTS),
refer to “Serial Port Connector” on page 210 to determine whether you need to use
the adapter.
4. Install any optional components shipped with your system.
If you ordered options that are not factory-installed, see the Sun Fire V490 Server
Parts Installation and Removal Guide for installation instructions.
Note – Do not attempt to access any internal components unless you are a qualified
service technician. Detailed service instructions can be found in the Sun Fire V490
Server Parts Installation and Removal Guide, which is included on the Sun Fire V490
Documentation CD.
Caution – The AC power cords provide a discharge path for static electricity, so
they must remain plugged in when you install or handle internal components.
5. Configure the network interface(s).
The Sun Fire V490 server provides two on-board Ethernet interfaces, which reside on
the system centerplane and conform to the IEEE 802.3z Ethernet standard. Two back
panel ports with RJ-45 connectors provide access to the on-board Ethernet interfaces.
Each interface configures itself automatically for either 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or
1000-Mbps operation depending on network characteristics.
A variety of supported Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) cards can provide
connections to additional Ethernet or other network types. For details about network
interface options and configuration procedures, see:
■ “About the Network Interfaces” on page 47
■ “How to Configure the Primary Network Interface” on page 144
■ “How to Configure Additional Network Interfaces” on page 146
Note – The system controller (SC) card serial and Ethernet interfaces are available
only after you install the operating system software and the Remote System Control
(RSC) software. Consult the Sun Remote System Controller (RSC) User’s Guide for more
details about configuring these interfaces.
