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

• You should have already performed the server installation as described in the Sun Blade X4-2B Installation Guide .

• Assemble the following items:

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

  • USB keyboard and mouse

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

  • Multiport dongle cable

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

1. Ensure the server is in standby power mode.
2. Attach the multiport 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 multiport 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 multiport 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 multiport dongle).
