Configuring the Preinstalled

Solaris 10 Operating System

This chapter explains the steps for configuring the Solaris™ 10 Operating System (OS) that has been preinstalled on your server. The preinstalled version is Solaris 10 5/08 or later.

Note – Unlike with SPARC® systems, you will not see the output of the preinstalled Solaris 10 image through a monitor when you power on the server. You will see the BIOS Power-OnSelf-Test (POST) and other boot information output.

The server ships with its console redirected to the serial port.

You can choose an option to send the output to VGA (video port). For more information, see “To Redirect the Console Output to the Video Port (Optional)” on page 38.
