Need Help connecting to sunfire v240
I recently acquired a sunfire v240 and I'm trying to get into it so I can install linux on it. Right now I'm still trying to get a monitor connected so I can do this.
I've tried connecting to it with a crossover cable to my laptop (vista and linux equipped). I was able to get a connection through one of the com ports with putty under windows, but when the window popped up it was just black with no text and anything that I typed in on the laptop didn't do anything.
I also tried connecting via lan with both ethernet cables and a db9 to rj45 connection-no dice. I don't know the machines ip because I got it used and I know basically nothing about the sun machines or the solaris OS that they use. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
