Accessing the System Console With a
Local Graphics Monitor
After initial system installation, you can install a local graphics monitor and
configure it to access the system console. You cannot use a local graphics monitor to
perform initial system installation, nor can you use a local graphics monitor to view
power-on self-test (POST) messages.
To install a local graphics monitor, you must have:
A supported PCI-based graphics frame buffer card and software driver.
An 8/24-Bit Color Graphics PCI adapter frame buffer card (Sun part number
X3768A or X3769A is currently supported)
A monitor with appropriate resolution to support the frame buffer
A Sun-compatible USB keyboard (Sun USB Type–6 keyboard)
A Sun-compatible USB mouse (Sun USB mouse) and mouse pad
To Access the System Console With a Local
Graphics Monitor
1. Install the graphics card into an appropriate PCI slot.
Installation must be performed by a qualified service provider. For further
information, see the Sun Fire V445 Server Installation Guide or contact your
qualified service provider.
2. Attach the monitor's video cable to the graphics card's video port.
Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the connection.
3. Connect the monitor's power cord to an AC outlet.
