To Prepare For the Installation

1. Exit the operating environment.
To inform any mounted users that the system will be going down, use the shutdown
command. Otherwise, use the init 0 command. See the man pages for these
commands or the Solaris AnswerBook2 online documentation.
2. Power off the system.
Refer to the service documentation that came with your system.
Caution – Do not disconnect the power cord at this time. This connection provides
the ground path necessary to remove and install printed circuit boards and
components without damage.
3. Choose a slot in which to install the host adapter.
Follow the procedures in the documentation supplied with your system.
For systems that have more than one system board, you must also select and remove
a system board that has an available SBus slot. Refer to your system documentation
for specific instructions.
4. Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to a metal component on the
system chassis.
The wrist strap between you and the chassis provides the ground path necessary to
safely remove and install the printed circuit boards and components without
damaging them.

To Install the Adapter

1. Open the system.
Refer to your system documentation for specific instructions.
Caution – If you need to remove a system board for installation, place the board on
a padded antistatic mat to prevent damage.
