Sun Fire 280R Server Product Notes 5
Before powering on the system for the first time, you can:
1. Place a compatible Solaris operating environment CD into the CD-ROM drive of
the system.
2. Install the Solaris operating environment over your network using a JumpStart™
image you created.
For more information about installing Solaris software, refer to the Solaris
installation instructions in the Solaris Media Kit documentation.
Setting Up the Operating Environment
1. Power on the system.
First the system checks for a local boot CD. If no CD is found, the system searches
for a JumpStart installation server on your network. If a CD or JumpStart server is
found, the system displays a message that you have 60 seconds to halt the operating
environment installation from the CD or the JumpStart server.
If neither the CD nor JumpStart server is present, one of the following actions occurs
depending on which CPU module is installed in your system:
If your system has the 900-MHz CPU module or the 1.015-GHz CPU, the
system loads the preinstalled image.
If your system has the 1.2-GHz CPU module, you must select either Solaris 8
HW 12/02 operating environment or Solaris 9 12/02 operating environment.
The system loads the operating environment you selected. The unselected
environment is removed.
2. Verify the version of software installed. Alternatively, you can install a newer
version of the Solaris operating environment software (if a newer version exists).
3. Answer the Solaris operating environment setup prompts by following the on-
screen instructions.
4. Answer the RSC configuration prompt.
If you answer yes to this prompt, you will be prompted to provide RSC
configuration information. When you have finished answering these prompts, RSC
will be configured and the correct RSC firmware will be installed onto the RSC card.
If you answer no to this prompt, the set up of the operating environment will
continue without configuring RSC. If you want to install RSC later, you can install
RSC by running the rsc-config script located at
/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R/rsc.
