Cabling the Workstation

FIGURE 1-7 illustrates the cable connections for the workstation.

FIGURE 1-7 Cable Connections

Figure showing cable connections for the Sun Ultra 40 Workstation.

Connect the workstation and external devices in this order (see FIGURE 1-7):

1. Connect the workstation power cord to a grounded electrical outlet.

2. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB connectors on the back panel.

3. Connect the monitor cable to a graphics card video connector installed in a PCI- Express graphics slot.

If your workstation has a NVS285 graphics card installed, a DMS59 cable is packaged with the workstation.

4. Connect the Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet connector on the Sun Ultra 40 Workstation, and connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet RJ-45 jack.

5. 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 DIMMs, PCI cards, SLI connectors, optical drives, or hard drives, install those components before you power on the workstation. See the Sun Ultra 40 Workstation Service, Diagnostics, and Troubleshooting Manual for instructions on installing these components. If you are not installing optional components, you are ready to power on the workstation.

1. Turn on the power to the monitor and to all external devices.

2. Press and release the workstation Power button on the front panel (see FIGURE 1-3).

3. After several seconds, verify that the Power LED next to the Power button lights.

The Power LED next to the Power button lights after the workstation begins the internal booting process (see FIGURE 1-3).

4. If you are powering on the workstation for the first time, install the operating system or configure the preinstalled operating system after the system is finished booting.

See Chapter 2 for information about installing an operating system.

See Chapter 3 for information about configuring the preinstalled Solaris 10 Operating System.

Powering Off the Workstation

1. Save your data and close any open applications.

2. Read all of the following power-off options before powering off the workstation:

Power off the workstation by using the operating system shutdown command or menu option.

In most cases, either action powers down the operating system and then turns off the power to the workstation.

If the workstation power is not shut off through the operating system command or this command is not available, press and release the power button (see FIGURE 1-3 for location).

This action initiates an orderly shutdown of the operating system and powers off the workstation.

Caution - To avoid data loss, use the preceding two options whenever possible.

If the workstation is not shut off, press and hold the Power button for approximately four seconds.

This action shuts down the power to the workstation but does not initiate an orderly shutdown of the system. This method could result in data loss.

If the preceding options fail to power off the workstation, see "Troubleshooting" in the Sun Ultra 40 Workstation Service, Diagnostics, and Troubleshooting Manual, 819-3952, for more options.

Note - After powering off the workstation, wait at least four seconds before powering on the workstation again.
