5. Set up a console for your server.
You must either attach an ASCII terminal to serial port A or else install a graphics
card and attach a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. For more information, see "About
Setting Up a Console" on page 19.
6. Configure the serial port jumpers, if necessary.
Two serial port jumpers located on the main logic board are used to configure the
system's serial ports A and B for either EIA-423 or EIA-232D signal levels. The
jumpers are factory-set for EIA-423 levels, which is the default standard for North
American users. EIA-232D levels are required for digital telecommunication in
nations of the European Community. If you require EIA-232D signal levels, see the
following sections for configuration instructions:
How to Remove the Side Access Panel — page 31
How to Avoid Electrostatic Discharge — page 35
About the Main Logic Board Jumpers — page 62

7. Configure the network interface.
The system's standard network interface is a switchable 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
Ethernet interface conforming to the IEEE 802.3u Ethernet standard. The interface
configures itself automatically for either 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps operation, depending
on network characteristics.
Supported PCI cards allow connection to additional Ethernet networks, or to token
ring, FDDI, or other network types.
If you're using the standard Ethernet interface, see "How to Configure the
Standard Ethernet Interface" on page 173.
If you're using a PCI network interface, see the documentation accompanying
the PCI network card.
8. Install the security lock block to prevent unauthorized removal of the side access
panel, if required.
See "How to Install the Security Lock Block" on page 17.
9. Turn on power to your server.
See "How to Power On the System" on page 27. For information about the LED
status indicators that appear during power-up, see "About the Status and Control
Panel" on page 8.
10. Install and boot the operating system software.
See the installation manual accompanying your Solaris software. Also read the
SMCC SPARC Hardware Platform Guide, which contains platform-specific information
about software installation. The operating system software is ordered separately
from your system hardware.
