During installation of the Solaris operating environment, the software automatically detects the system’s on-board network interfaces and any installed PCI network interface cards for which native Solaris device drivers exist. The installation program then asks you to select one of the interfaces as the primary network interface and prompts you for the information you gathered. Depending on how you answer other installation questions, the system may prompt you for setup information in addition to the information you gathered in the preceding steps.

You can configure only one network interface during installation of the operating environment. You must configure any additional interfaces separately, after the operating environment is installed. For more information, see the Sun Fire V440 Server Administration Guide.

After completing installation of the Solaris operating environment (in a later step), the primary network interface is ready for operation. The device driver for the server’s on-board Ethernet interfaces is automatically installed with the Solaris release. For more information about network interfaces and configuring the Sun Fire V440 server’s second Gigabit Ethernet interface, see the Sun Fire V440 Server Administration Guide.

Power On the Server

You can use either of two methods to power on the server:

■Power on by using the Power button

■Power on by using the poweron command from the ALOM sc> prompt

For information about the LED status indicators that appear during power-up, see the Sun Fire V440 Server Administration Guide.

Caution – Never move the server when the server power is on. Movement can cause catastrophic disk drive failure. Always power off the server and allow several seconds for the disks to spin down before moving it.

Caution – The AC power cords provide a discharge path for static electricity. Unless otherwise noted in the Sun Fire V440 Server Parts Installation and Removal Guide, the cords must remain plugged in to the AC outlets when you install or handle internal components.
