1.4.1. Keyboard and Mouse
The Sun keyboard should be plugged into the connector labelled "KEYBOARD" on the works-
tation back panel. If you wish to use the keyboard as your console input device (as is normally
done) you must power-on the workstation AFTER plugging in the keyboard. The Sun resident
PROM monitor will try to use serial port A for input if it does not find an attached keyboard.
Plug the mouse into the "MOUSE" connector on the backpanel.

Ethernet
If you purchased a system with Ethernet, your system is shipped with the Ethernet Controller
Board installed in your workstation's Multibus card cage. You will receive a package containing
the transceiver and transceiver cable necessary to complete implementation of the Ethernet for
a single workstation, and an Ethernet Controller Reference Manual. The coaxial cable necessary
to implement a network with multiple machines may be purchased separately from Sun.
Setting up an Ethernet with all Sun-supplied components is fairly straightforward:
1. Terminate the 50-ohm coaxial cable by placing a transceiver at both ends. Screw the cable
into the transceiver N-connectors; cover the open N-connector on each transceiver with a
terminator. In lieu
ot
a
tr~nseeiver,
you may terminate the cable with two barrel connectors
and terminators. Handle the coaxial cable with some care, as it is fragile; don't run it in an
area w here it may be run over.
2. For each workstation, plug one end of the transceiver cable into the IS-pin D-connector on
the transceiver, and the other end into the "ETHERNET
10
MBIT" connector on the
workstation backplane.
Please note that there are certain cabling limitations which must be observed for proper Ether-
net implementation:
