Optional Components The standard components of the server are installed at the factory. However, if you ordered options such as additional memory or a PCI card, these may be shipped separately. Install these components prior to installing the server in a rack. If you ordered any other options that are not factory-installed, see the SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Service Manual for installation instructions. Note – All internal components must be installed only by qualified service technicians.
4. Mount the server into a rack or equipment cabinet. See “To Install the Server in the Rack” on page 19. Note – In the rest of this document, the term rack means either an open rack or a closed cabinet. 5. Connect the server to a serial terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to display system messages. See “Powering On the Server for the First Time” on page 25. Tip – The serial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you connect the power cables.
The Solaris OS is preinstalled on the server. When you power on, you are automatically guided through the Solaris OS configuration procedure. See “To Boot the Solaris Operating System” on page 39. 13. Install any required patch or patches to the server. Refer to the product notes for a list of the required patches. 14. (Optional) Load additional software from the Solaris media kit.
The slide rail assembly has the following features: ■ The front and rear sections form the slide rail. The front and rear sections expand to fit rack depths from 24 in. (610 mm) to 29.0 in. (740 mm). ■ Extension brackets are included in the mounting rail kit. The extension brackets add 2.9 in. (73 mm) to the length of each slide rail. ■ The mounting bracket slides 13 in. (330 mm) out of the slide rail, then locks in place. If you unlock the mounting bracket, it slides an additional 4 in.
Cable Management Notes A cable management bracket (FIGURE 1-4) is included in the server slide rail kit. The cable management bracket clips onto the slide rails. Use cable ties or cable straps to attach cabling to the bracket.

CHAPTER 2 Installing the Server This chapter provides instructions for installing the server in an equipment rack. This chapter contains the following sections: ■ ■ ■ ■ “Rackmount Kit” on page 11 “Installing the Server in a Rack” on page 12 “Removing the Server From the Rack for Service” on page 21 “Connecting the Server Cables” on page 21 Note – Ensure that you have all of the parts before you begin the installation of the server.
Installing the Server in a Rack ▼ To Install the Mounting Brackets 1. Pull both mounting brackets completely out of their respective slide rails. a. Simultaneously press and hold the upper and lower lock buttons of the slide rail lock (FIGURE 2-1). FIGURE 2-1 Unlocking the Slide Rail Assembly b. Pull the mounting bracket out until it stops. c. Slide the mounting bracket release button to the left (FIGURE 2-2), then slide the mounting bracket completely out of the slide rail.
FIGURE 2-2 Mounting Bracket Release Button 2. Attach a mounting bracket to the right side of the server chassis. a. Position the mounting bracket against the server chassis (FIGURE 2-3) so that the slide rail lock is at the front and the two keyed openings on the mounting bracket are aligned with the two locating pins on the side of the chassis.
FIGURE 2-3 Attaching a Mounting Bracket to the Chassis b. With the heads of the two locating pins protruding though the two keyed openings in the mounting bracket, slide the mounting bracket toward the front of the chassis until the bracket locks into place with an audible click. c. Verify that both locating pins are trapped in the keyed openings and that the front locating pin has engaged the mounting bracket lock (FIGURE 2-3). 3. Attach the second mounting bracket to the left side of the server chassis.
▼ To Install the Slide Rails 1. Determine which rack hole numbers you will use when attaching the slide rails to the rack posts. Most racks have posts that are marked off by rack units (1.75 in. or 45 mm). The server occupies one rack unit. 2. Determine which screws you will use to mount the slide rails. ■ If your rack has threaded mounting holes in the rack posts, determine whether the threads are metric or standard. Select the appropriate screws from the package included in the mounting kit.
4. Determine if the slide rails require an extension bracket. Most rack installations do not require slide rail extension brackets. However, you may need to install the extension brackets under the following conditions: ■ If your rack is deeper than 29.0 in (740mm). ■ If your rack requires the ends of the slide rails to be side mounted. If required, use M6 screws to attach an extension bracket to the rear of each slide rail, as shown in FIGURE 2-5.
5. Attach a slide rail to the right front rack post (FIGURE 2-6). a. Loosely attach the front of a slide rail to the right front rack post using two screws (M5 or M6, as appropriate to the size of the screw holes on the rack post). Do not tighten the screws yet. Front FIGURE 2-6 Mounting the Slide Rail b. Adjust the length of the slide rail by sliding the rear section to reach the outside edge of the rear rack post, then tighten the captive screws (FIGURE 2-4) to freeze the length of the slide rail. c.
a. At the rear of the rack, insert the left side of the tool into slots at the end of the middle section on the left slide rail (FIGURE 2-7). Front FIGURE 2-7 Using the Slide Rail Spacing Tool to Adjust the Distance Between the Slide Rails b. Insert the right side of the tool into slots at the end of the right rail, while simultaneously sliding the end of the rail to the right or left as needed to allow the ends of the tool to enter both middle sections.
e. At the front of the rack, use the spacing tool to adjust the distance between the front ends of the rails. The front ends of the rails do not have slots for the spacing tool. Slide the rails sideways as needed until the sides of the spacing tool touch both rails. At this point, the distance between the ends of the rails is 17.4 in. (442 mm). f. Tighten the two screws to lock the rails in place. ▼ To Install the Server in the Rack 1. Deploy the antitilt feature, if the rack is so equipped.
2. Raise the server and insert the ends of the mounting brackets into the left and right slide rails (FIGURE 2-8). Front FIGURE 2-8 Mounting the Chassis on the Slide Rails 3. Slide the chassis into the rack. Caution – Before continuing, verify that the server is securely mounted in the rack, and that the slide rails are locked in the mounting brackets. ▼ To Install the Cable Management Bracket 1. Place the cable management bracket across the slide rail assemblies behind the system chassis. 2.
Note – When you attach cables to the server, as in the following procedures, lay the cables over the cable management bracket, then use cable ties to hold each cable in place. Removing the Server From the Rack for Service To install or replace internal parts in the server, you must first remove the server from the rack. For the removal procedure, refer to the SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Service Manual.
▼ To Connect the SC Serial Management Port The system controller serial management port is marked SER MGT (FIGURE 2-10). SER MGT FIGURE 2-10 NET MGT System Controller Serial and Network Ports, Rear of Chassis Note – Use the SC serial management port only for server management. It is the default connection between the system controller and a terminal or a computer. Caution – Do not attach a modem to this port. ● Connect a Category 5 cable from the SER MGT serial management port to the terminal device.
▼ To Connect the Ethernet Network Cables The server has four network connectors, marked NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3 (FIGURE 2-9). These connectors are RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet. 1. Connect a Category 5 cable from your network switch or hub to Ethernet Port 0 (NET0) on the rear of the chassis. NET0 is the farthest left port in the 4-port network cluster in FIGURE 2-9. 2. Connect Category 5 cables from your network switch or hub to the remaining Ethernet ports (NET1, NET2, NET3), as needed.
Caution – The server goes into Standby mode and the system controller initializes as soon as the AC power cable is connected to the power source. 2. Go to “Powering On the Server for the First Time” on page 25.
CHAPTER 3 Powering On the System This chapter includes instructions for booting the server and for enabling the system controller network management port.
Note – To see these status and error messages, connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the serial management port (SERIAL MGT). For a basic procedure to connect a terminal or terminal emulator, see “To Power On the System for the First Time” on page 27. For a more detailed discussion on configuring the system console and connecting terminals, refer to the SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Administration Guide.
▼ To Power On the System for the First Time Tip – The serial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you connect the power cable, or you will not see the system messages. The server goes into standby mode and the ALOM CMT system controller initializes as soon as the AC power cable is connected to the power source. Note – If you are not logged in, ALOM CMT times out after 60 seconds and reverts to the system console.
After the system controller boots, the system controller login prompt is displayed on the serial console. The following example shows a partial output from the system controller boot sequence leading to the login prompt. CODE EXAMPLE 3-1 Boot Sequence Example ALOM BOOTMON v1.x ALOM Build Release: 000 Reset register: f0000000 EHRS ESRS LLRS SWRS ALOM POST 1.x Dual Port Memory Test, PASSED.

APPENDIX A Updating the Server Firmware This appendix describes how to update the server firmware. This appendix includes the following topics: ■ ■ Flash Image Overview Updating the Firmware Flash Image Overview The flash image consists of the following components: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ System controller firmware OpenBoot POST Reset/Comfit Sequencer Partition description Updating the Firmware The flashupdate command updates both the ALOM CMT system controller firmware and the host firmware.
▼ To Update the Firmware 1. Ensure that the ALOM CMT system controller network management port is configured. This is required to access the new flash image over the network. See “To Configure the System Controller Network Management Port” on page 31. 2. Open a Telnet or SSH session and connect to the system controller. The following example is for Telnet. % telnet xxx.xxx.xx.xx Trying xxx.xxx.xx.xx... Connected to xxx.xxx.xx.xx. Escape character is’^]’. Please login: 3.
■ -v is the flag to turn on verbose message output sc> flashupdate -s xxx.xxx.xx.xx -f pathname Username: username Password: password ............................................................... . Update complete. Reset device to use new image. sc> 5. Reset the system controller. After the flash has been updated, you must reset the system controller for the new image to take affect. To reset the system controller, issue the resetsc command, as shown below.
CODE EXAMPLE A-1 Typical Boot Sequence Following Firmware Update ...
APPENDIX B Selecting a Boot Device The boot device is specified by the setting of an OpenBoot configuration variable called boot-device. The default setting of this variable is disk net. Because of this setting, the firmware first attempts to boot from the system hard drive, and if that fails, from the on-board NET0 Gigabit Ethernet interface.
■ ■ ■ ■ disk – Specifies the system boot disk (internal disk 0 by default) disk0 – Specifies internal drive 0 net, net0, net1– Specifies the network interfaces full path name – Specifies the device or network interface by its full path name. Note – The Solaris OS modifies the boot-device variable to its full path name, not the alias name. If you choose a nondefault boot-device variable, the Solaris OS specifies the full device path of the boot device.
APPENDIX C Configuring the Network Management Port If your server uses system firmware 6.2 or subsequent compatible versions, do not perform the following configuration. Your ALOM CMT system controller network management port is preconfigured at the factory. If your server uses an earlier version of firmware than system firmware 6.2, you must configure the network management port before you can use it.
■ netsc_ipnetmask – Netmask for the system controller subnet Note – For more information on configuring ALOM CMT, refer to the Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) CMT Guide. To configure these parameters you must use the setsc command. The usage is: sc> setsc parameter 1. Set the netmask for the system controller. sc> setsc netsc_ipnetmask 255.255.255.0 This example uses 255.255.255.0 to set the netmask. Your network environment subnet might require a different netmask.
Note – The network addresses and parameters shown in the examples are for illustration purposes only. The four parameters marked with asterisks must be set according to the specific details of your network configuration for the network management port to function properly. sc> showsc Advanced Lights Out Manager CMT v1.
