Note Verification is not required if your system supports dynamic reconfiguration (DR).

1.Power on the system, and when the banner appears, press the Stop-A key sequence to interrupt the boot process and display the OpenBoot (ok) prompt. If a keyboard is not attached then send the appropriate Break sequence on the serial port.

If the card is properly installed and the cables are properly connected to a compatible network, you will see the following message:

xcvr addr:0x00 - link up 1000 Mbps half duplex

xcvr addr:0x00 - link up 1000 Mbps full duplex

2.List the network devices on your system.

ok show-nets

Use the show-netscommand to list the system devices. You should see the full path name of the network devices, similar to the Ultra 30 system example below. In this example, the network@4 device is the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter and the network@1,1 is the onboard Ethernet device.

ok show-nets

a)/pci@1f,2000/pci@1/network@0

b)/pci@1f,4000/network@1,1

q) NO SELECTION

Enter Selection, q to quit: q

Note If you do not see the device listed, check that the adapter is properly seated and, if necessary, reinstall the adapter.

3.View the device that you installed. Using the previous example, type:

ok cd /pci@1f,2000/pci@1/network@4
