4.2 Setup Posters

The setup posters have the following issues.

4.2.1 Cables

On posters for both the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers, the zoom window highlighting the PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard connectors incorrectly shows Y-cables for the mouse and keyboard. It should show standard PS/2 cables.

4.2.2 CD-ROMs

• Documentation is not included on a CD-ROM with Sun Fire V40z Servers with chassis part number 380-1378. See Related Documentation for the documentation download URL.
• The setup posters show several CD-ROMs included with the servers. The accessory kit shipped with your system might have three or four CD-ROMs.

Both servers ship with:

• “Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers--Network Share Volume”

Depending on the version of the server that you purchased, your accessory kit might also contain:

• ”Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers--Documentation and Support Files” (documentation not included on CD-ROM with Sun Fire V40z servers with chassis part number 380-1378.)
• “Sun Installation Assistant for Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers”
