500MHz 2 GB (4 * 512MB) What software is preinstalled? The Sun Fire V100 server comes preinstalled with the Solaris operating environment (64 bit) including LOM. For more information, see “Preinstalled Software” on page 3. Can I install a 32-bit kernel? The servers will only support a 64 bit kernel. - Page 127 You can order a new card from your local Sun Customer Solution Centre. Is there a DC version of the Sun Fire V100 server? There are no plans to introduce a DC version of the Sun Fire V100 server. Chapter 10...
- Page 128 Because the Sun Fire V100 server has been designed as a rack-mount compute element, there is no keyboard, mouse or parallel port on the Sun Fire V100 server. To manage the server, you have to connect to the console (ttya) port and manage via a console connection.
- Page 129 Will the server need a null-modem cable to connect to the console port? No. Because the Sun Fire V100 server requires the use of console port, Sun has designed the server not to need a null-modem cable. All you need to connect a Sun Fire V100 server to a termserver is a standard Category 5 cable.
