SC Card Ports

Both SC connection ports can be used simultaneously or individually disabled.

Note –

You must install the Solaris OS and the Sun Remote System Control software

prior to setting up an SC console. For more information, see “How to Monitor the
System Using the System Controller and RSC Software” on page 190.

Once you install the operating system and the RSC software, you can then configure
the system to use the SC as the system console. For detailed instructions, see “How
to Redirect the System Console to the System Controller” on page 159.

Configuration Rules

The SC card is installed in a dedicated slot on the system PCI riser board. Never
move the SC card to another system slot, since it is not a PCI-compatible card.

The SC card is not a hot-pluggable component. Before installing or removing an
SC card, you must power off the system and disconnect all system power cords.

Note –

Do not attempt to access any internal components unless you are a qualified

service technician. Detailed service instructions can be found in the Sun Fire V490
Server Parts Installation and Removal Guide
, which is included on the Sun Fire V490
Documentation CD.
