Unpacking and Setting up the Sun-3/260
This chapter describes how
to
unpack and set up your Sun-3/260. The
"basic"
Sun-3/260 consists
of
an increased resolution (l600x1280 pixel) monochrome
monitor, single-board CPU. amemory board, keyboard, and mouse.
Some optional components
of
the Sun-3/260 include additional memory expan-
sion boards, color monitor
or

of
the monochrome
monitor), Sun-3 Color Video board, Ethernet transceiver and cabling, VME-to-
VNIE
Adapter board. Graphics Processor and Graphics Bufferboards. and
I~
inch tape drive. SMD disk(s), and
1f2-inch
streaming tape.
To avoid electric shock
and/or
afire
hazard,
DO NOT
REMOVE
COVERS.
Refer
all servicing to qualified service personnel.
The basic components
of
the Sun-3/260 are shipped in 3separate cartons:
othe largest contains thc pedcstal. stabilizing wings. and external cables;
othe smallest or

Pedestal
Stabilization
\Vings
NOTE
Chapter 1 - Unpacking and Setting up the Sun-3/260 5
To
eliminate any possibility
of
the pedestal accidentally tipping
over
(this is not
likely,
but
it
could happen),
Sun
has provided you with stabilization "wings" that
you should now attach
to
the pedestal chassis.
The
wings were packed in the tri-
angular
box
you removed from the pedestal shipping carton during unpacking.
You
will need the following tool
to
attach the stabilization wings.
C] One
#2
Phillips Screwdriver
Attach the stabilization "wings" to the pedestal chassis using the following
guidelines.
It
is
not recommended, nor is it necessary,
to
turn the pedestal upside down
to
attach the stabilization wings.
1.
Get
t.~e
triangular box containing the stabilization wings, and place it beside
the pedestal. Inside the box, you should find the wings and four Phillips
screws.
The
screws are used
to
attach the wings to the bottom
of
the pede-
stal.
2. Referring to the following figure, and working from either the left
or
right
side
of
the pedestal, slide one
of
the wings into its three
ret~ining
tabs on the
bottom
of
the pedestal.
3. As shown in the figure, align the holes in the wing with the threaded screw
holes
in
the vertical tabs projecting from the pedestal's bottom.
4. Using two
of
the 8-32 Phillips head screws (one for each end
of
the wing),
secure the wing to the pedestal bottom.
5. Repeat the previous three steps for the remaining wing
on
the opposite side
of
the pedestal.

The keyboard is always shipped with the monitor. Unpacking instructions
for
monitors are given in the/ollowing pages.
If
you find your monitor package has banding as well as atape seal
on
top, you
probably have one
of
the newest SUN cartons. Upon cutting the banding and top
tape seal and opening the flaps, you should see a"tray" that holds cables, moni-
tor documentation, the keyboard box and mouse kit.
Remove the cables, documents, keyboard and mouse from the top
"tray".
Remove the top
"tray"
completely.
Pull the top
of
the container
off
of
the monitor.
Remove the right and left foam pads attached
to
the monitor.
Pull the protective bag
do~n

of
the unit
to
expose the monitor.
\Vith one person standing
on
either side
of
the monitor, carefully lift the unit
out and away from the remaining packaging materials and place it in the
work area.
7. Remove the mouse (and its pad) and the keyboard from their containers.
\Ve recommend that you save the shipping carton and packing material for
future use in case the product must be reshipped; any products shipped back
to
Sun must be repacked in their original Sun shipping canons.

You may place apad
or
acushion down upon aflat surface in an open work-
ing area (to protect the monitor from being
scr~tched
while you unpack it).
Give yourselfplenty
of
space
to
move around.
2.
Place the carton right-side up. Cut the shipping tape with aknife, taking
care not to damage the contents within. Open the four top flaps.
3. Remove the keyboard box.
4. Using care, roll the carton first on one side, then upside down, keeping the
flaps
open.
5.
Lift the carton up and off
of
the color monitor.
6.
Remove the side foam pieces and the protective plastic bag.
7.
Remove the foam piece between the monitor and its base.
The monitor is now ready for placement in the work area.
We
recommend that you save the shipping carton and packing material for future
use in case the product must be reshipped; any products shipped back
to
Sun
must be repacked in their original Sun shipping cartons.
1.6. Unpacking the
"Base
Box". The final (and smallest) box know
as
a
"base
box"
may contain Ethernet cable
(ifordered), software tapes, the mouse kit, (if you ordered acolormonitor) and
