Verifying Installation
After the PCI+ I/O board and any PCI cards are installed, and before booting the
system, verify installation by performing the following tasks. Refer to the Solaris 2.x
Handbook for SMCC Peripherals manual or your Solaris documentation for detailed
instructions.
1. Power on the system, and when the banner appears, press the Stop-A keys to
interrupt the boot process and get the ok prompt.
2. Use the show-devs command to list the system devices.
You should see entries (similar to the entries in the example on the next page) for the
PCI+ I/O board that you installed.
In the example, a PCI+ I/O board with two SunSwift™ PCI adapter cards has been
installed in I/O+ board slot 1 of a Sun Enterprise 3500 system. To find the device
path for your specific device, refer to the documentation that came with your PCI
card.
If you do not see your new device(s) listed, make sure the PCI+ I/O board and any
PCI cards are properly seated, and reinstall the board or cards, if necessary.
Also verify that the JTAG Test Jumper on the PCI card is disabled or removed.
See Section 4.6.7.2 "Replacing or Installing a PCI Card."
