Chapter 2 Setting Up the System 29
14. Load any required and recommended patches for the system, if necessary.
Your system may be preinstalled with all required patches. Refer to the Sun Fire
V890 Server Product Notes for information about patches. Check the SunSolve
Online
SM
web site for any recent patches and service information about the system at
http://sunsolve.sun.com.
15. Set any desired OpenBoot PROM configuration options.
You can control several aspects of system behavior through OpenBoot PROM
commands and configuration variables. For additional details, see “Configuring
System Firmware” on page 103.
16. Configure any additional network interfaces.
The Sun Fire V890 server provides two on-board Ethernet interfaces. Additional
interfaces and connections are available by installing the appropriate PCI interface
cards. See the Sun Fire V890 Server Service Manual, which is included on the Sun Fire
V890 Documentation CD for installation instructions.
17. Load the electronic documentation from the Sun Fire V890 Documentation CD.
Directions for loading the documentation are printed in the booklet that
accompanies the CD.
18. Turn the system keyswitch to the Locked position.
The Locked position is the recommended setting for day-to-day operations. This
setting disables the system Power button, disables certain types of break commands
that allow access to the ok prompt, and prevents unauthorized programming of the
system’s flash PROMs.
