1. Connect a SCSI cable to the appropriate SCSI-2 host on the system board.
• For the system board in slot 0, this is an SBus card installed in an
appropriate SBus slot.
• For system boards in slots 1 through 3, use the on-board SCSI-2 port or an
SBus card installed in an appropriate SBus slot.
Figure 2-7 shows the location of the onboard SCSI connector on the system
board.
2. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the external SCSI-2 device.
You can now power on the system and test your server. Follow instructions in
the following chapters to configure your server.
This system is able to use the JumpStart™ automatic installation feature
described in installation documents for Solaris® software. The software that
enables this feature is present on a hard disk in your system.
JumpStart will run only when the system is powered on for the first time.
Caution – JumpStart may incorrectly install the system as a standalone
workstation. You must prevent JumpStart automatic installation from
proceeding if the appropriate server-specific configuration information is not
in place. Information about the JumpStart feature is provided on a card, titled
JumpStart Installation Instructions, provided with the system documentation set.
To prevent JumpStart installation from occurring unintentionally:
•
Do not connect your system to a network when you power it on initially.
•
Do not place a Solaris release CD-ROM in a drive when you first power on
the machine.
Note – If JumpStart automatic installation does begin, interrupt it by pressing
L1-A (Stop-A), and then perform a manual installation when you are ready.
If JumpStart completes the installation incorrectly, you would probably need to
reinstall Solaris manually.
