your system, perform the following tasks to verify the installation. Refer to the
Solaris 2.x Handbook for SMCC Peripherals manual or your Solaris documentation for
the detailed instructions.

1. Power on the system, and when the banner appears, press the Stop-A keys to

interrupt the boot process and to get to the

prompt.

2. Use the

command to list the system devices.

You should see lines in the list of devices, similar to the example below, specific to
the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter:

Note –

If you do not see the devices listed, check that the adapter is properly seated

and, if necessary, reinstall the adapter.
