Before You Begin

Before you can boot the system over a network interface, you must complete the installation procedure; see:

• "How to Install the Enterprise 250 Server"

Specifically, you must perform the following tasks:

• Set up a system console; see "About Setting Up a Console"

• Configure the PCI-based Ethernet port; see "How to Add an Ethernet Interface"

• Attach the Ethernet port to a network; see "How to Attach a Twisted-Pair Ethernet (TPE) Cable" or "How to Attach an MII Ethernet Transceiver"

• Power on the system; see "How to Power On the System"

To boot the system over an Ethernet network, it is necessary that there be a bootable image for Sun4u architecture somewhere on the network. For details, see the installation instructions accompanying your Solaris software.
