How to Configure a Local Graphics
Console
Before You Begin
If your server is configured without an alphanumeric (ASCII) terminal, you need to
install a local graphics console in order to install the system and to run diagnostic
tests. For background information, see “About Communicating With the System” on
page 37.
To install a local graphics console, you must have:
■ A supported PCI-based graphics frame buffer card and software driver
■ An 8-bit Color Graphics PCI Adapter Frame buffer card—Sun part number
X3660A is currently supported
■ A 32 8/24-bit Color Graphics PCI Adapter Frame buffer card—Sun part
number X3668A is currently supported
■ A monitor with appropriate resolution
■ A Sun-compatible USB keyboard (Sun USB Type 6 keyboard)
■ A Sun-compatible USB mouse (Sun USB mouse) and mouse pad (if necessary)
Alternatively, you can attach an alphanumeric (ASCII) terminal to the system’s serial
port or create a tip connection from another Sun system. See “About
Communicating With the System” on page 37 for more information.
