V215 PCI query and disks

Both PCI cards are qualified for that platform.

I have doubts that you could use both at the same time, however.

Though short-length, both are full height cards, so you may have to choose to use one or the other.

My vote would be to forget about direct-attached graphics.

The manuals for the respective PCI cards can be retrieved from [url=http://docs.sun.com]Docs.Sun.Com[/url]

Framebuffer = document 819-3290

Ethernet/SCSI card = document 817-4339

Nope. No built-in graphics of any sort.

The system's documentation can be found at the Sun System Handbook link I referenced earlier.

Those rack-mount systems are customarily administered in command-line mode.

You choose whether it's the serial port (default out-of-the-box),

or whether you configure and use the ALOM port.

You would likely need a Sun USB keyboard/mouse kit if you were to try to attach a monitor, anyhow.

( ... and there's only one USB 1.1 port, plus two USB 2.0 ports.A keyboard is a waste of a 2.0 port. )

That's all described in the documentation.
