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.
