CHAPTER 6: Installation
3. Attach the output cord of the Remote Unit’s power supply to the power jack
on the front of the unit; then plug the IEC 320 end of the power supply’s
input cord into the IEC 320 inlet on the power supply’s transformer; then
plug the other end of the input cord into a utility (mains) power outlet. The
Remote Unit should power up immediately; it has no ON/OFF switch. (If the
Remote Unit is in the location you want it to be, you can leave it plugged in
and powered up more or less indefinitely.)
CAUTION!
If you ever need to replace the power supply of the Remote Unit, the
replacement power supply must have identical output characteristics
(see the “Power” specification in Chapter 2). Using a power supply with
different output—even if it’s “almost the same”—could damage your
equipment.
4. Power ON the Sun CPU and the monitor(s); make sure that the remote
keyboard functions and that you’re getting video at the remote site. (Be aware
that even though equipment attached to the Local Unit is usually powered
and enabled right away, the remote monitor, keyboard, and mouse might
take up to fifteen seconds to be properly initialized; see Section 7.3. Note also
that the video quality might be poor at this point if your interconnect cable is
longer than 80 ft. [24.4 m].)
5. Make sure that the remote mouse functions.
If everything works in your test setup, repeat the procedures in Section 6.2 and 6.3
for your actual installation. (For information about rackmounting a Remote Unit,
see Appendix B.) If everything works in the actual installation, you can proceed to
adjust the remote site’s video (see Section 6.4). For illustrations, see Figures 6-5
through 6-7.
