▼To Verify the Installation

After you have installed the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter, but before you boot your system, perform the following tasks to verify the installation. Refer to the Solaris Handbook for Sun Peripherals manual or your Solaris documentation for the detailed instructions.

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 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 full duplex
