146 Sun Fire V490 Server Administration Guide • August 2004
Note – The Sun Fire V490 system conforms to the Ethernet 10/100BASE-T standard,
which states that the Ethernet 10BASE-T link integrity test function should always
be enabled on both the host system and the Ethernet hub. If you have problems
establishing a connection between this system and your hub, verify that the Ethernet
hub also has the link test function enabled. Consult the manual provided with your
hub for more information about the link integrity test function.
How to Configure Additional Network
Interfaces
Before You Begin
Perform the following tasks to prepare an additional network interface:
■ Install the Sun Fire V490 server as described in Chapter 1.
■ If you are setting up a redundant network interface, see “About Redundant
Network Interfaces” on page 48.
■ If you need to install a PCI network interface card, follow the installation
instructions in the Sun Fire V490 Server Parts Installation and Removal Guide.
■
Attach an Ethernet cable to the appropriate port on the system back panel. See
“How to Attach a Twisted-Pair Ethernet Cable” on page 127. If you are using a
PCI network interface card, see the documentation supplied with the card.
Note – All internal options (except disk drives and power supplies) must be
installed by qualified service personnel. Installation procedures for these
components are covered in the Sun Fire V490 Server Parts Installation and Removal
Guide, which is included on the Sun Fire V490 Documentation CD.
