1. Remove the two screws that secure the SBus card to the back panel. 2. Unlock the SBus card by pulling up the tips of the two standoffs, as was shown in Figure 2-3. SPARCcenter 2000 System Board Manual—October 1994...
3. Hold the card by the edges nearest to the connector, and gently rock the card back and forth to loosen it from the socket. Caution – The connector housing will break if the card is tilted too far. 4. Lift the card at an angle while guiding the face plate out of the back panel opening and under the springfingers.
Refer to Figure 2-8. Using a #0 Phillips screwdriver, remove two screws securing the adapter to the card rear panel. The adapter bracket and screws are not needed for this installation.

3. For DSBE/S and FSBE/S cards: remove the two outer retaining screws (refer to Figure 2-9), but do NOT remove the middle screw or the springfinger. Use a #0 Phillips screwdriver and a 3/16 nut driver or socket wrench. 4. For DSBE/S and FSBE/S cards, configure jumper J0302 for link integrity test functionality.
Link Integrity Test Disabled Enabled Figure 2-11 Disabling and Enabling the Link Integrity Test 2.5.2.2 Installation 1. Remove the filler panel (if any) covering the SBus slot opening. Retain the screws to attach the SBus card to the back panel, unless the card has a wide connector or connectors.
2.6 SIMMs and NVSIMMs These devices were designed for the SPARCcenter 2000 and are not interchangeable with other types of SIMMs. Do not mix SIMMS of different capacities. Note – The 8 Mbyte and 32 Mbyte SIMMs may be almost identical when made by the same manufacturer, so do not rely on physical appearances.

3. Watch the boot display to confirm that the newly installed or replaced hardware are recognized. Note – In the event of “loss of carrier” or “not responding” messages, refer to Section 2.5.2.1, “Preparing a New SBus Card“. 4. After the system finishes booting, log in and resume normal operation. 2.12 Selecting a System Master OBP must select a new system master from among the system boards in the card cage in any of these situations:...
If there is no terminal on the system, remove all system boards except one from card cage slot 0 to force OBP to select this board as the new master. 2-22 SPARCcenter 2000 System Board Manual—October 1994...
Jumpers Use this appendix to verify jumper settings on NVSIMMs, DSBE/S and FSBE/S SBus cards, and system boards. A.1 NVSIMM Jumpers Before installing NVSIMMs, activate the battery. Move the jumper to the battery ON position. Refer to Figure A-1. Battery On Battery OFF Battery Jumper...
Set the J0302 jumper (refer to Figure A-2) as required by 10BaseT Ethernet devices. Sun Microsystems ships the card with the Link Integrity Test enabled. Note – If the customer chooses to disable the test, it should be disabled both at the hub and at the DSBE/S card.
Set the J0202 jumper (refer to Figure A-3) as required by 10BaseT Ethernet devices. Sun Microsystems ships the card with the Link Integrity Test enabled. Note – If the customer chooses to disable the test, it should be disabled both at the hub and at the FSBE/S card.
Pins 1 and 2 are for factory or service depot use only. Pins 2 and 3 are connected if a service processor does not have a mouse. J1400 J1401 J1501 Figure A-4 Jumper Locations on the System Board SPARCcenter 2000 System Board Manual—October 1994...

DSBE/S can also connect to the main network. • FSBE/S interface card in SBus slot 3. The FSBE/S card connects to the SCSI tray in the top of the cabinet, and possibly to the main network. SPARCcenter 2000 System Board Manual—October 1994...
D.1.3 Selecting the System Master Board Note – The system master board must have the highest-revision PROM set. Also, if your system has OBP patches stored in NVRAM, these must be erased before assigning a board having different revision PROM set as system master. This is required because OBP patches are PROM-version specific.
For information on identifying the system master, and on the schemes for selecting a new system master, refer to the SPARCcenter 2000 Service Manual, Appendix E.
Note – The system master board must connect to a terminal, or you will not see the OBP message. If the terminal is connected to the wrong board, the message will not appear. At this point the system may seem to be locked up, but OBP is only pausing, waiting for you to respond.
Each system board has four SBus slots. Refer to Figure D-3. The system master is the only system board that has a minimum configuration requirement for SBus cards. Refer to Table D-2. Populate all other system board SBus slots for load balance. SPARCcenter 2000 System Board Manual—October 1994...

D.9 Selecting Drive ID Numbers in the SCSI Box The SunCD ID number is 6. The first 150 Mbyte -inch tape drive ID is 5. If there are more -inch tape drives, the ID numbers must be higher than any 8 mm tape drive.

D.12 Connecting Ethernet The main network cable may be connected to an Ethernet port of the DSBE/S, FSBE/S or QED/S card. The SPARCcenter 2000 system supports only 10Base-T twisted-pair Ethernet. D.13 Connecting Video Cables A maximum of one CG6 color frame buffer is allowed per system. It must be installed in SBus slot 1 of the system master board.
