Bringing Up the GXTRA Card
for the First Time

3.1 Overview

This chapter provides the instructions and considerations for
powering up your new GXTRA card for the first time. This is basic
information and is meant for you to verify that your GXTRA card is
operational and ready for further activities. The configurations
included in this section are only for first-time power-up and are
not an exhaustive explanation of the various configurations that can
be achieved with the SPARCstation family.

3.2 Mounting on the SPARC CPU

The GXTRA card mounts on the SBus CPU card via one 96-pin
SBus connector. The GXTRA card's 96-pin male SBus connector,
located on the solder side of the board, plugs into the 96-pin female
SBus connector, located on the component side of the CPU card.
The SBus connector is keyed to prohibit mounting the board the
wrong way.

3.3 Setting the Display Resolution

The GXTRA has a programmable display resolution capability
which allows it to drive virtually any monitor available today. The
default display resolution can be set using a rotary switch located
on the top side of the card.
