Set the mode switch on the operator panel to Locked and enable Secure Mode on each domain. For how to
enable Secure Mode, refer to setdomainmode(8) in the "SPARC Enterprise
M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers XSCF Reference Manual".
4.2
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in UNIX file system (UFS) format
Do not use any CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in UNIX file system (UFS) format that is not produced for the Solaris
OS.
Even if the file system in such a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is in UFS format, its file construction may differ
from that of a Solaris system. If such a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is used, serious problems, including a system
crash may occur.

TTYA port is used only for standard serial device. Console of the Solaris OS is not supported via TTYA.
Do not set "ttya" as the value of OpenBoot PROM environment variables, "input-device" and
"output-device".
For more information, refer to "SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Administration Guide", "SPARC
Enterprise T2000 Server Administration Guide", "SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers
Administration Guide" or "SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers Administration Guide."
