Solaris

I have bought from eBay a second hand Sun Fire V210 server and I'm really stumped at the lack of complete instructions on how to connect to it.

I don't have a Windows machine, I've only got Ubuntu and OS X computers. None of them have an old RS-232 port on them either.

In saying that, I have no problem going out and buying cheap Windows 98 laptop for $50 that has RS-232 port available on it if that is what I need.

So can someone tell me, and don't reply with something vague like "use hyper terminal in Windows" or "connect using terminal" because that's seriously not going to point me in any direction. I've read nearly all the manuals and guides from Sun/Oracle, but it's just not making sense and I don't want to waste money on something that doesn't fit the bill because I didn't understand the instructions.

To put it simply, I just need the basic instructions on what I need, how to connect, and from there, how I can go about installing Solaris 10 on this sytem. Once I've got Solaris 10 on there, I won't need any more help and I can be off of my way to learn some things for myself.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can save me anymore grief that I already have given myself.

PS - There is no OS on there at the moment. The HDD's have been cleared. And there is no CD/DVD drive. I need to go buy one to install the OS.
