## Install the System Configuration PROM

Before beginning this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the cautions and safety instructions described in Safety Information.

| Caution - This procedure involves handling circuit boards that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ensure that you follow ESD preventative practices to avoid damaging the circuit boards.

Note - The System Configuration PROM is plugged into a socket on the motherboard. It includes a yellow barcode label.

1. Orient the system configuration PROM properly onto the main module.
2. Press down on the system configuration PROM until it is completely seated on the main module.
3. Insert the main module back into the server.

   See Install the Main Module.

4. Verify that the banner display includes an Ethernet address, and Host ID value.

   The Ethernet address and Host ID values are read from the System Configuration PROM. Their presence in the banner verifies that the service processor and the host can read the System Configuration PROM.

5. For additional verification, run specific commands to display data stored in the System Configuration PROM.

   - Use the Oracle ILOM `show` command to display the MAC address:

         -> show /HOST macaddress
           /HOST
             Properties:
             macaddress = **:**:**:**:**:**

   - Use Oracle Solaris OS commands to display the `hostid` and Ethernet address:

         # hostid
         8534299c

         # ifconfig -a
         lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232
         index 1
                 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
         igb0: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
                 inet 10.6.88.150 netmask fffffe00 broadcast 10.6.89.255
