Configuring The Server

The Sun Fire V210 and V240 server comes preinstalled with the Solaris 8 operating
environment. When you power on the server for the first time, you will
automatically be taken through a configuration procedure. This procedure consists
of a number of questions. The answers you give determine how the server is
configured.
Choose the configuration that best suits your requirements from the list below, and
follow the instructions in the appropriate section to power on and configure your
server.
