10/100BASE-T LOM Ethernet port. Note – Communication on the LOM Serial A port is possible but is subject to interruption by the LOM device. Refer to the Netra 1290 Server System Administration Guide, 819-4374.
Caution – For optimum performance, use only I/O cards and associated drivers that are qualified by Sun Microsystems for use on the Netra 1290 server. It is possible for interactions to occur between cards and drivers on a specific bus that might lead to potential system panics or other negative outcomes if the card/driver solution is not qualified by Sun Microsystems.
When you add additional storage devices, refer to the Rackmount Placement Matrix, at http://docs.sun.com, for the mounting hole numbers of the mounting screws for Sun Microsystems disk arrays, other storage trays, and devices. Unless otherwise specified in the Rackmount Placement Matrix, mount the heaviest subassemblies at the lowest available opening.

Note – The warning messages concerning lomp, lomv, and lom driver attachment seen during the installation of the SUWNlomr package can be safely ignored since the SUNWlomr package is not used on the Netra 1290 server. However, the presence of the package is required to enable successful upgrade through future patches.
