Refer to Chapter 4 for information about powering on the system.

Note –The DB-25 serial adapter may not work with all terminals. If you have problems, refer to your terminal manual to check its compatibility with the Sun adapter.

Caution –AC-powered Sun products are designed to work with single-phase power systems that have a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not connect Sun products to any other type of power system. Contact your facilities manager or a qualified electrician if you are not sure what type of power is supplied to your building.

Caution –Your AC-powered Sun product is packaged with a grounding type (three-wire) power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, always connect the cord to a grounded outlet.
