Preface
The Sun Fire V490 Server Administration Guide is intended to be used by experienced
system administrators. It includes general descriptive information about the
Sun Fire™ V490 server and detailed instructions for installing, configuring, and
administering the server and for diagnosing problems with the server. To use the
information in this manual—particularly the instructional chapters—you must have
working knowledge of computer network concepts and terms, and advanced
familiarity with the Solaris™ Operating System.
Before You Read This Book
While the first part of this manual focuses on installation of the Sun Fire V490 server,
it does not deal with mounting the server in a cabinet or 2-post rack. For those
instructions, see the Sun Fire V490 Server Setup and Rackmounting Guide.
Rackmounting instructions are also printed on labels on the server chassis.
Follow the instructions for mounting the server in a cabinet or 2-post rack before
continuing with the installation and configuration instructions in this manual.
