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 (1600x1280 pixel) monochrome
monitor, single-board
CPU,
a memory board, keyboard, and mouse.
Some optional components
of
the Sun-3/260 include additional memory expan-
sion boards, color monitor
or
gray scale monitor (in place
of
the monochrome
monitor), Sun-3 Color Video board, Ethernet transceiver and cabling, VME-to-
VME Adapter board, Graphics Processor and Graphics Buff
er
boards, and 1
14-
inch tape drive,
SMD
disk(s), and
V2-inch
streaming tape.
CAUTION To avoid electric shock
and/or
a fire
hazard,
DO NOT REMOVE COVERS.
1.2. Unpacking
Instructions for the
Sun-3/260
1.3. Tools Needed
Ref
er
all servicing to qualified service personnel.
The basic components
of
the Sun-3/260 are shipped in 3 separate cartons:
o
the largest contains the pedestal, stabilizing wings, and external cables;
o the smallest or
"base
box"
contains this and othermanuals (as you have
already discovered), and may hold the mouse kit and additional cables;
o the remaining box contains the monitor and keyboard.
When you receive your shipment, inspect all shipping cartons immediately for
evidence
of
damage.
If
any shipping carton is severely damaged, request that the
carrier's agent be present when the carton is opened.
If
the carrier's agent is not
present when a carton is opened and the contents are found to be damaged, keep
all contents and packing materials for the agent's inspection.
To unpack your Sun-3/260, you will need:
o a knife, to cut the packing tape and open the box
o a 4 inch-by-size #0 Phillips screwdriver
o a 4 inch-by-3/16 inch blade screwdriver
o a 4 inch-by-1/8 inch blade screwdriver.

1.4. Unpacking the
Pedestal
NOTE
a The 12-slot31260 has a shipping weight of about 100pounds. This will
vary, depending on the number of boards shippedwith the product. Two
people will be needed to unpack
and set up the pedestal.
The bottom of the shipping carton is the side touching the pallet The front of the
shipping carton is the side facing the front
of the pedestal (the front of the pede-
stal has a dark grey bezel). Left and Right are referenced
by looking atthe ship-
ping carton from the front.
1. When unpacking the pedestal, carefully preserve and save the shipping
materials for future use.
2. Cut the fiber banding that secures the pedestal's shipping cartonto
the pal-
let.
3. Remove the pedestal shipping carton from the pallet (keeping the carton in
an upright position).
4. Remove the carton's top cover.
5. Lift out both the triangular box containing the pedestal's stabilizing wings .J
and the square box containing the pedestal's external cables.
6. Lift
up and away on the left side of the pedestal's shipping carton.
7. Tilt the right side
of the shipping carton away from the pedestal to a 45°
angle. Lift the right side away from the carton.
8. Unfold the right side
of the bottom of the shipping carton, and lay the
unfolded side flat
on the floor.
9. Unfold the back side of the bottom of the shipping carton, and lay the
unfolded side flat on the floor.
10. Lift
up on the rear of the pedestal to clear the wheels from the foam, and
remove the rearfoam block.
Set the rear of the pedestal down.
11. Lift
up on the front of the pedestal and remove the front foam block. Setthe
front
of the pedestal down onto its wheels, and roll the pedestal to the
desired location.
To ·repack the pedestal into its shipping carton, reverse the steps used to unpack
it Rememberto unfold the carton bottom's right and back sides before rolling
thepedestalback into the carton.

Pedestal Stabilization Wings
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 couldhappen), Sun has provided you with stabilization "wings" that
you should now attach to the pedestal chassis. The wings were
pack~d
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.
a One #2 Phillips Screwdriver
Attach the stabilization "wings" to the pedestal chassis using the following
guidelines.
NOTE
It
is not recommended, nor is
it
necessary, to turn the pedestal upside down
to
attach the stabilization wings.
1.
Get the triangular box containing the stabilization wings, and place itbeside
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 eitherthe left
or
right
side
of
the pedestal, slide one
of
the wings into its three retaining tabs on the
bottom
of
the pedestal.
3. As shown in the figure, align the holes in the wing with the threaded screw
holes inthe 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.

o
The shipping weight
of
the keyboard
and
monitor is about75 pounds, two
people should
be
available during unpacking
and
moving
of
the unit to the
work
area.
o
The keyboard is always shipped with the monitor. Unpacking instructions
for
monitors are given in thefollowing pages.
If
you find your monitorpackage has banding as well as a tape seal on top, you
probably have one
of
the newest SUNcartons. Upon cutting the banding and top
tape seal and opening the flaps, you should see a
''tray''
that holds cables, moni-
tordocumentation, the keyboard box and mouse kit.
1.
Remove the cables, documents, keyboard and mouse from the top
''tray''.
2. Remove the top
"tray"
completely.
3.
Pull
the top
of
the container
off
of
the monitor.
4. Remove the right and left foam pads attached to the monitor.
5. Pull the protective bag down to the base
of
the unit to expose the monitor.
6.
With 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.
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.
o
The shipping weight
of
the keyboard and color monitor is about100pounds,
twopeople should

1.6. Unpacking the "Base
Box".
1. You may place a pad or a cushion down upon a flat surface in an open work-
ing area (to protect the monitor from being scratched while you unpackit).
Give yourselfplenty
of space to move around.
2. Place the carton right-side up. Cut the shipping tape with a knife, taking
care
not to damage the contents within. Openthe 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. Liftthe carton up and
off of the colormonitor.
6. Remove the side foam pieces and the protective plastic bag.
7. Remove the foam piece betweenthe 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 backto Sun
must be repacked in their original Sun shipping cartons.
The final (and smallest)
box know as a "base box" may contain Ethernet cable
(ifordered), software tapes, the mouse kit, (ifyou ordered a colormonitor) and
various optional equipment. Take this equipment out as needed.
