Sun Quad FastEthernet SBus Adapter Installation and User's Guide

Verifying the Installation

After you have installed the Sun Quad FastEthernet SBus adapter, but before you boot your system, perform the following tasks to verify the installation. Refer to the Solaris 2.x Handbook for SMCC Peripherals manual or your Solaris documentation for the detailed instructions.

  1. Power on the system, and when the banner appears, press the Stop-A keys to interrupt the boot process and get to the ok prompt.

  2. Use the show-devs command to list the system devices.

    You should see lines in the list of devices, similar to the example below, specific to the Sun Quad FastEthernet SBus adapter: 

    ok show-devs
...
/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,qfe@1,8c30000
/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,qfe@1,8c20000
/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,qfe@1,8c10000
/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,qfe@1,8c00000
...

    In this example, the SUNW,qfe@1 entries identify the adapter's four Ethernet devices on a Sun Ultra 1 system with an OpenBoot PROM, revision 3.x.

    Note -

    In the example above, the number 1 following SUNW,qfe@ corresponds to the SBus slot in which the Sun Quad FastEthernet SBus adapter resides.

If you do not see the devices listed, check that the adapter is properly seated and, if necessary, reinstall the adapter.
