8 Sun Blade 2500 Getting Started Guide • December 2004
Note – The on-board connectors are USB 1.1. You must connect the mouse and
keyboard to the USB 1.1 connectors, not the USB 2.x connectors. The IEEE 1394 and
USB 2.x card connectors are more appropriate for devices that require faster data
transfer.
3. Connect the monitor power cord to a grounded electrical outlet.
4. Connect the monitor cable to the video connector on the filler panel of the
graphics accelerator.
Note – Your Sun Blade 2500 workstation might contain a different graphics
accelerator than the one shown in FIGURE 1-6 . Read the Sun Blade 2500 Product Notes
(817-5121) to determine if your graphics accelerator must be installed in a specific
PCI slot.
Note – Monitors that have 13W3 connectors require a Sun 13W3-to-VGA adapter
cable for proper connection. This adapter cable (Sun store part no. X471A) can be
obtained from your Sun sales representative or the Sun store at:
http://store.sun.com/
To find the cable, search for both the part number and cable description.
5. Connect the Ethernet cable to the TPE connector.
6. Connect any additional external devices to the workstation’s other connectors.
Powering On the Workstation
Tip – If you are installing optional internal components such as additional memory
DIMMs, PCI cards, optical drives, or hard drives, see the Sun Blade 2500 Service,
Diagnostics, and Troubleshooting Manual (817-5117) or the installation document that
was provided with the components, before you power on the workstation. If you are
not installing optional components, you are ready to power on the workstation.
