Set Up the Local Console

A local OS installation is performed at the server. The preferred procedure for a local installation method is to use the Oracle System Assistant's Install OS task. Use this procedure to set up for a local Oracle System Assistant assisted installation or a local manual (unassisted) installation.

Before You Begin

• Perform the server installation as described in the Sun Blade X4-2B Installation Guide

• Obtain the following items:

  • Video monitor with 15-pin (DB-15) connector capabilities

  • USB keyboard and mouse

  • USB device (CD/DVD drive or thumb drive)

  • Multi-port dongle cable

• To ensure that the server has the latest updates, server web access is recommended.

1. Ensure the server is in standby power state.
2. Attach the 3-cable dongle to the universal connector port (UCP) on the front of the server module.
3. Connect the video monitor to the video connector on the 3-cable dongle.
4. Connect the keyboard and mouse to one of the USB connectors on the front of the server (or to one of the USB connectors on the 3-cable dongle).
5. Connect the CD/DVD drive to the other USB connector on the front of the server (or to one of the USB connectors on the 3-cable dongle).
