Requirements

Before you start to configure the operating environment for a new board, you must have already done the following:

• Installed the Solaris 2.4 operating environment
• Shut down the system and those peripherals that are already connected as described in Chapter 1, "Before You Start"

---

Note - If you did not follow the procedures as described in Chapter 1, "Before You Start," the operating system may not recognize the presence of the new board.

---

• Installed the board that you plan to configure as described in the installation manual that accompanies your board. If you have not yet installed your board, do so now before you proceed.

  This task includes finding the location of the address jumpers on the board as well as figuring out how to select a device address.

For information on how to select device addresses, go to Chapter 6, "Selecting Addresses" in this handbook.

Configuring the System

1. Determine the address selection scheme of the system and board.

   In many cases jumpers and switches on a board are preset appropriately in the factory.

2. Set any jumpers or switches that require different settings.

   For example, if your system has an SBus and if you are adding an Ethernet card, you may need to change one jumper on that card related to the Link Integrity Test.

3. Turn on power to all external peripheral devices and then the system.

   The system automatically boots and configures the new board.

If you want to display a list of all the devices on your system, use the show-devs OpenBoot command.
