First, you need CPU's to get an OK prompt. I think you screwed up your CPU's somehow. I have no 240's left so this is from imperfect memory. I used to be able to defeat the case switch so I could run the 240 with the cover off. Those heat sinks have a couple of fans on each one. Are the blades spinning? (BTW, over the last few years that I had 240's I never saw a replacement heat sink that used paste. I assume that yours required that paste you used.) Try reseating the CPU's. This is probably the key. My guess is that you reseated all 4 cpu's wrong. The next most likely idea is that you got 4 bum replacement heat sinks. A final thought is maybe you forgot to plug the heat sinks in. Check for spinning heat sink fan blades will quickly disprove the last two ideas.

In the worst case buy some replacement 240's on ebay. And when the heat sink fans break, hire a tech to replace the heat sinks rather than doing it yourself.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris  invokes  the  Solaris  Install  program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris  exists  only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
