Accessing the System Console Through a Graphics Monitor
The SPARC Enterprise T2000 server is shipped without a mouse, keyboard, monitor,
or frame buffer for the display of bitmapped graphics. To install a graphics monitor
on the server, you must install a graphics accelerator card into a PCI slot, and attach
a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to the appropriate front or rear USB ports.
After starting the system, you might need to install the correct software driver for
the PCI card you have installed. For detailed hardware instructions, see
the System Console Through a Local Graphics Monitor” on page 15
Note –
POST diagnostics cannot display status and error messages to a local
graphics monitor.
Accessing the System Controller
The following sections describe ways of accessing the system controller.
Using the Serial Management Port
This procedure assumes that the system console uses the serial management and
network management ports (the default configuration).
When you are accessing the system console using a device connected to the serial
management port, you first access the ALOM CMT system controller and its
sc>
prompt. After connecting to the ALOM CMT system controller, you can switch to
the system console.
For more information about the ALOM CMT system controller card, refer to the
ALOM CMT guide for your server.

parameters:
