How To Configure A Local Graphics Console - Sun Microsystems Enterprise 250 Owner's Manual

How to Configure a Local Graphics
Console
Before You Begin
If your server is configured without a local graphics console, you need to install one
in order to install the system and to run diagnostic tests. For background
information, see "About Setting Up a Console" on page 19.
Alternatively, you can attach an ASCII terminal (or modem line) to the system's
serial port; see "How to Attach an Alphanumeric Terminal" on page 20.
To install a local graphics console, you must have:
A supported PCI-based graphics card
A monitor (CRT) with appropriate resolution
A Sun-compatible keyboard
A Sun-compatible mouse and mouse pad
What to Do
1. Install the graphics card in a vacant PCI slot.
See "How to Install a PCI Card" on page 87.
