Note – The Sun Fire V490 system conforms to the Ethernet 10/100BASE-T standard,
which states that the Ethernet 10BASE-T link integrity test function should always
be enabled on both the host system and the Ethernet hub. If you have problems
establishing a connection between this system and your hub, verify that the Ethernet
hub also has the link test function enabled. Consult the manual provided with your
hub for more information about the link integrity test function.
How to Configure Additional Network

■
If you are setting up a redundant network interface, see “About Redundant
Network Interfaces” on page 48.
■
If you need to install a PCI network interface card, follow the installation
instructions in the Sun Fire V490 Server Parts Installation and Removal Guide.
■
Attach an Ethernet cable to the appropriate port on the system back panel. See
