Power-on diagnostics are executed on the system components, such as processors, memory
modules and so on, during initial power-on or reset of the system.
Automatic System Reconfiguration (ASR) isolates faulty hardware components immediately
after detecting it. The ASR function isolates not only faulty components detected during initial
power-on but also those detected while the system is running. However, the ASR function
cannot restart the system if errors are detected in the resources required for booting up the
system, or in the basic components of the system.

CHAPTER 1 Product Outline
A SCF (System Control Facility), which has an integrated service processor, monitors the
operation of SPARC64 GP processors, and reports erroneous events such as environmental
monitoring explained below. With a GUI-based intelligent monitoring and reporting tool,
which is provided in "Basic Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility",
administration and management of GP7000F is easy and less time consuming.
The SCF monitors environmental temperature, powering and cooling conditions. This function
prevents the system from environmental condition that can cause error or damages to the
system.
– Monitoring Environmental Temperature ; The guaranteed operating temperature of the
system ranges from 5 to 35 degrees Celsius (41 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit). A warning
message is displayed at about 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). If the
temperature reaches about 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), the system is shut
down automatically.
– Monitoring Powers ; The power supplies are always monitored, and a message is displayed
on the LCD panel, if power supply failure is detected. When the system doesn’t have a
redundant power supply, the system will be powered off immediately. Besides it, the
integrated service processor monitors and controls DC-DC converter which provides
power to the processor modules.
– Monitoring Fans ; Several fans are installed inside the GP7000F main cabinet. If one of the
fans breaks down, a warning message which indicates the defective fan is displayed on the
LCD panel. And, if the fans cannot provide enough cooling, the system is shut down
automatically.
RCI (Remote Cabinet Interface) makes power cycle control of expansion I/O unit, such as
Expansion Disk Unit and Expansion File Unit, which has the RCI interface.
Status of LEDs and messages on LCD panel of GP7000F main cabinet as well as console
messages make trouble shooting easy and less time consuming.
All internal disk drives are hot-swappable, and these drives can be mirrored for higher data
availability. In addition, redundant power supplies and fans are supported for higher availability.
The front cover/panel has a lock key to prevent unauthorized access to the internal I/O devices
as well as front panel switches.

1.2Operator Panel
The operator panel has a set of status LEDs, switches, and a LCD panel. The switches as well as built-in I/O
device are covered with a panel cover that can be locked with a key. It prevents incorrect operations and ensures
security for the internal I/O device as well as the switches.
The POWER LED indicates whether the system is turned on while the CHECK LED indicates
system operation by lighting up or blinking.
Table 1.2 POWER LED
Status

Descriptions
The power is on
The power is off
The user and system administrator can recognize the system operation status from the CHECK LED
and messages that appear on the LCD panel.
Table 1.3 CHECK LED
Status Descriptions
ON The system is turned on, but the processors are not operating.
Blinking System down.
(quickly)
Blinking There are faulty components in the system. (The system is still
(slowly) operating)
OFF The system is not turned on or it is operating normally
If the system administrator shuts down the system (when the AC main line switch is on) while there
are degraded-mode components remaining in the system, the CHECK LED will continue to blink
slowly to remind the system administrator there are faulty components to be diagnosed. Possible
causes of a CHECK LED alarm are: errors in temperature monitoring, related components (such as
the power supplies and fans) or degraded-mode components (such as processors and memory
modules, etc.).
When the system is turned on, the CHECK LED lights up briefly. However, this is not an error
unless the CHECK LED remains light up for more than three seconds, or begins to blink.
LCDThe LCD panel can display 2 rows of 16 digits. The messages displayed on it are status or results of
the power-on diagnostics, and environmental events such as over temperature, etc. Therefore, when
an error occurs, the user or system administrator can recognize the state of the hardware system
easily by checking the messages displayed on the LCD panel as well as console messages.
Error messages remain on the LCD panel until the error is corrected. There is only one LCD panel,
therefore, it displays messages in turn when there are several errors. Note that error events are
corrected even though their message displayed on the panel is overwritten by messages of other
events. However, since the initial diagnostics is allowed to report only one event, the next message
of another event will be displayed on the panel after repaired a reported event.
Messages are erased from the panel when:
an error event is corrected.
the power of the main cabinet is cycled
the AC main line switch is turned off, or
the RESET switch is pressed (partial messages are erased).
When an error or an abnormal state occurs, record the messages displayed on the LCD panel and
status of the CHECK LED. Then, contact the system administrator or service engineers. See 14
"Troubleshooting" for more information regarding the messages displayed on the LCD panel.
6
Switches There are 4 switches on the operator panel, as below.

CHAPTER 1 Product Outline
1.6Installation of Basic Software Extension or Enhanced Support Facility
Toenable support of GP7000F specific functions, software packages in the "Basic Software Extension" or
"Enhanced Support Facility"are needed to install on the system. Please refer to the user’s guide and installation
guide of the "Basic Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility" for more information.
CAUTION
Install "Basic Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility" before
operating the system. Without this package, incorrect operator panel operations
or hardware errors may cause the system to shut down or destroy data.
1.7local-mac-address Property
The network interface of the Ethernet (100BASE-TX) is assigned a unique MAC (Media Access Control)adress,
which represents the 48-bit ethernet address for the channel. The OpenBoot(R) firmware reports this MAC address
via the local-mac-address property in the device nodes corresponding to the network interfaces.
A system is not obligated to use this assigned MAC address if it has a system-wide MAC address. In such cases,
the system-wide MAC address applies to all network interfaces on the system.
The device driver, or any other adapter utility, can use the network device’s MAC address (local-mac-address)
while configuring it. In future Solaris releases, you will be able to use the channel’s MAC address when booting
over the network.
The mac-address property of the network device specifies the network device specifies the network address
(system-wide or local-mac-address) used for booting the system. Tostart using the MAC address assigned to the
network interface of the Ethernet (100BASE-TX), set the NVRAM configuration variable local-mac-address? to
true.

Power supplies
The M200 main cabinet has a basic power supply unit as well as DDC(DC-DC Converter)s
dedicated to each processor module. When the Disk Expansion Unit is installed, The expansion
power supply is required (when 5 to 8 disks are installed in the M200 main cabinet).
If the expansion power supply is not installed when the Disk Expansion Unit is installed, an
indication that a mounting rule has been violated is reported on the LCD panel and power-on is
inhibited. This checking function prevents faulty configurations. The checking function is executed
when a disk cage is expanded regardless of whether a disk unit is installed.
The alarm detection feature is not implemented for the expansion power supply of the M200 main
cabinet. If a failure occurs in the expansion power supply, the power cannot be supplied to the Disk
Expansion Unit. In this case, the POWER LED on the disk expansion cage turns off. If an error
occurs in the disk unit installed in the Disk Expansion Unit (because the power is not supplied), the
expansion power supply may be at failed. Check the POWER LED on the expansion disk cage.

CHAPTER 2 M200 Main Cabinet
Memory configuration
The M200 has 16 DIMM slots, allowing for as much as 4 gigabytes of main memory. When
installing the DIMMs, the following conditions must be satisfied:
IMPORTANT
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied when installing the DIMMs, some DIMMs are
degraded in the power-on diagnostics. When adding the memory modules, check that the
DIMMs are installed correctly.
Memory ECC feature
The EDO DRAM is used as the memory element. The single-bit error correction and multiple-bits
error detection features are available for a large capacity memory by using the Error Check Code
(ECC) system. A single-bit error can be isolated down to the memory slot on which it occurred. A
multiple-bit error can be isolated down to the pair of slots on which it occurred.
When installing the first set of DIMM, install a set of 4 modules of the same size in slots 0 to 3.
At subsequent memory expansions, install a set of 4 modules of the same size in slots 4, 5, 6, 7;
and 8, 9, 10, 11; then 12, 13, 14, 15.
Checking the memory diagnostics
Tocheck that the system recognizes installed memory modules correctly, execute the
show-post-results command at the ok prompt. A module that does not satisfy any condition
described in "Memory configuration" or a module judged to be faulty by memory diagnostics is
treated as an invalid module. The screen below lists the command execution results related to
memories and their meanings.
The denominator indicates the size of the memory module for a slot (unit: megabytes); 0* indicates
a faulty slot. The numerator indicates the size of the memory that is actually available for use. The
numerator 0 indicates that no memory is used.
In this example, DIMMs are installed in slots 0 to 7. The size of each module is 32 megabytes
except the one installed in slot 5. The initial system diagnostics detected an error in the module
installed in slot 5 and placed the module in degraded mode, assuming there was no available space.
As a result, the group of modules in slots 4 to 7 is not available for use.
When the Disk Expansion Unit (which includes an expansion disk cage) is added, up to 8 disk units
can be installed in the M200 main cabinet. Basic disk cage (bay #0-#3) is connected to UltraSCSI
bus, and the expansion disk cage (bay #0-#3) is connected to another UltraSCSI bus. Each disk
drive has two status LEDs. For the status of these LEDs, refer to 11 , "Input-Output Units."

Processor Configuration
Up to 4 CPU can be installed in the M400R main cabinet. When installing the processor modules,
the following conditions must be satisfied:
The installed processor modules must be the same type (including the cache size).
Install a processor module in slot 0 before installing one in slot 1.
When installing a processor module, install a DC-DC converter along with the processor in the
corresponding slot.
IMPORTANT
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied, the operation is not guaranteed.
Memory configuration
Using the Expansion System Board’s option the M400R has 32 memory slots, allowing for as much
as 8 gigabytes of main memory. When installing the memory modules, the following conditions
must be satisfied:
5.3 Systemboard
When installing the first set of DIMM, install a set of 4 modules of same size in slots 0, 1, 2,
and 3.
At subsequent memory expansions, install a set of 4 modules of the same size in slots 4, 5, 6, 7,
and 8, 9, 10, 11, then 12, 13, 14, 15.
The same memory installation rules ( described above ) apply when using the Expansion
System Board.
IMPORTANT
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied when installing the DIMMs, some DIMMs are
degraded in the power-on diagnostics. When expanding the memory modules, check that
the DIMMs are installed correctly.
Memory ECC feature
The SDRAM is used as the memory chip. The single-bit error correction and multiple-bit error
detection features are available for a large capacity memory by using the Error Check Code (ECC)
system. A single-bit error can be isolated down to the memory slot on which it occurred. A
multiple-bit error can be isolated down to the pair of slots on which it occurred.
Checking results of the memory diagnostics
Tocheck that the system recognizes installed memory modules correctly, execute the
"show-post-results" command at the ok prompt. A module that does not satisfy any
condition described in "Memory configuration" or a module judged to be faulty by memory
diagnostics is treated as an invalid module. The screen below lists the command execution results
related to memories and their meanings.
Note:If a memory error is detected, an asterisk is displayed in the Size field for the
corresponding slot. In this example, an error in slot #4 is detected in the initial
diagnostics operation. Modules in slots 5 to 7 are recognized as normal modules but
also become invalid.
Up to 2 disk drives can be installed in the base configuration of the M400R main cabinet. To install
more than 3 disk drive units, the Expansion File Unit Type-2 must also installed.
