Preface

The Sun Fire V440 Server Installation Guide provides instructions, some background information, and reference material to help you install a new Sun Fire™ V440 server. Instructions in Chapters 1 and 3 assume that a system administrator who is experienced with the Solaris™ operating environment is performing the installation. However, you do not need Solaris operating environment experience to follow instructions in Chapter 2, which detail the installation of the Sun Fire V440 server into a 4-post cabinet.

How This Book Is Organized

This guide is organized into three chapters and one appendix.

Chapter 1 illustrates the contents of the Sun Fire V440 server ship kit, provides guidelines for planning the installation, and lists the documentation included on the Sun Fire V440 Server Documentation CD.

Chapter 2 provides instructions for installing the Sun Fire V440 server into a 4-post cabinet, installing the cable management arm, and routing the cables and cords into the cable management arm.

Chapter 3 provides instructions for powering on the server and for installing the Solaris operating environment and additional software.

Appendix A includes background information about the system console and additional technical specifications, including those for connectors and for the rack.
