xxvi Sun Fire V490 Server Administration Guide • August 2004
This one-chapter part of the Sun Fire V490 Server Administration Guide provides instructions for installing your server.
For illustrated background information about the hardware and software components of the Sun Fire V490 server, see the chapters in Part Two – Background.
For detailed instructions on how to configure and administer the server, and how to perform various diagnostic routines to resolve problems with the server, see the chapters in Part Three – Instructions.
CHAPTER 1
This chapter provides both an overview of, and instructions for, the hardware and software tasks you need to accomplish to get the Sun Fire™ V490 server up and running. This chapter explains some of what you need to do, and points you to the appropriate section in this guide, or to other manuals for more information.
The following information is covered in this chapter:
■“About the Parts Shipped to You” on page 1
■“How to Install the Sun Fire V490 Server” on page 2
Standard features for Sun Fire V490 systems are installed at the factory. However, if you ordered options such as a monitor, or keyboard and mouse, these will be shipped to you separately.
In addition, you should have received the media and documentation for all appropriate system software. Check that you have received everything you ordered.
Note – Inspect the shipping carton for evidence of physical damage. If a shipping carton is damaged, request that the carrier’s agent be present when the carton is opened. Keep all contents and packing material for the agent’s inspection.
1
Unpacking instructions are printed on the outside of the shipping carton.
Each step in this procedure refers you to a particular document or to a section of this guide for instructions. Complete each step in the order listed.
The best way to begin your installation of a Sun Fire V490 server is by completing the rackmounting and setup procedures in the Sun Fire V490 Server Setup and Rackmounting Guide. This guide is shipped with your server in the ship kit box.
The Sun Fire V490 server is a general-purpose server, which you can use for many types of applications. Exactly how you set up your server depends on what you want it to do.
This procedure is intended to be as “generic” as possible, so as to cover the needs of most sites. Even so, you need to make certain decisions to complete the procedure:
