5.Holding the adapter by the edges, align the adapter edge connector with the PCI-E slot. Slide the adapter face plate into the small slot at the end of the PCI-E opening.

6.Applying even pressure at both corners of the adapter, push the PCI-E adapter until it is firmly seated in the slot.

Caution – Do not use excessive force when installing the adapter into the PCI-E slot. You might damage the adapter’s PCI-E connector. If the adapter does not seat properly when you apply even pressure, remove the adapter and carefully reinstall it.

7.Detach the wrist strap and close the system unit.

8.Connect the cables.

For the Sun PCI-Express Dual Gigabit Ethernet MMF adapter, connect the fiber- optic cable (850nm, lC) to the PCI-E adapter and to a fiber-optic Ethernet network.

For the Sun PCI-Express Dual Gigabit Ethernet UTP adapter, connect a Cat-5 twisted-pair cable.

To Verify the Installation

After you have installed the Sun PCI-Express Dual Gigabit Ethernet adapter, but before you boot your system, perform the following tasks to verify the installation.

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

1.Power on the system, and when the banner appears, interrupt the boot process and display the OpenBoot™ (ok) prompt.

Refer to the documentation for the platform you are using for information on how to interrupt the boot process and display the OpenBoot prompt.

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