Page 28
Tools and Equipment Needed
In order to install the system, you must have the following tools:
■ #2 Phillips screwdriver
■ ESD mat and grounding strap
In addition, you must provide a system console device, such as one of the following:
■ ASCII terminal
■ Workstation
■ Terminal server
■ Patch panel connected to a terminal server
Optional Component Installation
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 will be shipped
separately. If possible, install these components prior to installing the server in a
rack.
If you ordered any options that are not factory-installed, see the SPARC EnterpriseT2000 Server Service Manual for installation instructions.
Note – The list of optional components can be updated without notice. See the web
site for the most current list of components supported in the server.
ESD Precautions
Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. Use a grounded
antistatic wriststrap, footstrap, or equivalent safety equipment to prevent
electrostatic damage (ESD) when you install or service the SPARC Enterprise T2000
server.
2SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Installation Guide • April 2007
Page 29
Caution – To protect electronic components from electrostatic damage, which can
permanently disable the system or require repair by service technicians, place
components on an antistatic surface, such as an antistatic discharge mat, an antistatic
bag, or a disposable antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic grounding strap connected to
a metal surface on the chassis when you work on system components.
Installation Overview
This installation guide provides procedures which are to be performed in the
following order.
1. Verify that you have received all of the components that ship with your server.
2. Gather configuration information for your system. See your system administrator
for specific details, including these parameters:
■ Netmask
■ IP address for the system controller
■ Gateway IP address
3. Install any optional components shipped with your system. If you have
purchased other optional components such as additional memory, install them
prior to mounting the server in a rack. See “Optional Component Installation” on
page 2.
4. Mount the server into a rack or cabinet. See “Installing the Server in a Rack” on
page 11.
Note – In the rest of this manual, 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 System for the First Time” on
page 33.
Tip – The serial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you
connect the power cables. As soon as AC power is connected to the system, the
system controller immediately powers on and runs diagnostics. Diagnostic test
failures will be printed on the serial terminal. For more information, refer to the
Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) CMT 1.x Guide.
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation3
Page 30
6. Connect the data cables to the server, but do not connect the AC power cable yet.
See “Connecting Cables to the Server” on page 25.
7. Connect the AC power cable to the server and examine the display for any error
messages. See “Powering On the System for the First Time” on page 33.
Caution – There is a potential for electric shock if the server and related equipment
are not properly grounded.
Note – The system controller (SC) runs on the 3.3v standby voltage. As soon as AC
power is connected to the system, the system controller immediately powers on,
runs diagnostics, and initializes the ALOM CMT firmware.
8. After the system controller boots, access the ALOM CMT command line interface
through the serial management port. See “To Log Into the System Controller
Using the Serial Management Port” on page 38.
9. Configure the SC network addresses. See “To Configure the System Controller
Network Management Port” on page 39.
Note – The SC network management port is not operational until you configure
network settings for the system controller (through the SC serial management port).
10. Enable the new configuration by resetting the system controller. See “To Reset
the System Controller” on page 42.
11. Power on the server from a keyboard using the ALOM CMT software. See “To
Power On the System” on page 44.
12. Configure the Solaris™ OS. See “Booting the Solaris Operating System” on
page 46.
The Solaris OS is preinstalled on the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server. When you
power on, you are automatically guided through the Solaris OS configuration
procedure.
13. Install any required patch or patches to the server.
Refer to the SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Product Notes for a list of the required
patches.
14. Load additional software from the Solaris media kit (optional).
4SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Installation Guide • April 2007

devices. This port appears as ttya in Solaris OS and OpenBoot messages. This
port is not connected to the SC serial management port.
■ USB Ports: USB ports support hot-plugging. You can connect and disconnect USB
cables and peripheral devices while the system is running, without affecting
system operations.
■ You can only perform USB hot-plug operations while the OS is running. USB
hot-plug operations are not supported when the system ok prompt is
displayed or before the system has completed booting.
■ You can connect up to 126 devices to each of the two USB controllers, for a
total of 252 USB devices per system.
■ AC power cables: Do not attach power cables to the power supplies until you
have finished connecting the data cables, and have connected the server to a serial
terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation). The server goes into standby
mode and the ALOM CMT system controller initializes as soon as the AC power
cables are connected to the power source. System messages may be lost after 60
seconds if the server is not connected to a terminal, PC, or workstation.
Slide Rail Assembly Notes
The rackmount kit has two slide rail assemblies. A slide rail assembly can be installed
on either the right or left side of the rack.
Each slide rail assembly consists of a three-section slide rail and a removeable
mounting bracket (
FIGURE 1-4).

FIGURE 1-4 Sections of the Slide Rail Assembly
■ The front, middle, and rear sections form the slide rail. The middle and rear sections
have holes for mounting screws and adjust to fit rack depths from 24 in (61 cm) to
36.5 in (93 cm). The front section can be extended to allow movement of the
server out of the rack.
■ The removeable mounting bracket slides 14 in (36 cm) out of the slide rail, then
locks in place. If you unlock the mounting bracket at this point, it slides an
additional 12 in (30 cm) before separating from the slide rail. You can then mount
the mounting bracket to the right or left side of the SPARC Enterprise T2000
server chassis.
■ Note that there are a total of five locks (FIGURE 1-5) in a slide rail assembly. Four
are on the mounting bracket. One lock is on the front section of the slide rail. The
uses of these locks are described in the installation procedure in Chapter 2.

Powering On the System for the First
Time
Power On Overview
System Console
When you power on the system, the boot process begins under the control of the
system console. The system console displays status and error messages generated by
firmware-based tests during system startup.
33
Page 60
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 35.
For a more detailed discussion on configuring the system console and connecting
terminals, refer to the SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Administration Guide.
ALOM CMT System Controller
After the system console finishes its low-level system diagnostics, the ALOM CMT
system controller initializes and runs a higher level of diagnostics. When you access
the ALOM CMT system controller using a device connected to the serial
management port, you see the output of the ALOM CMT diagnostics.
By default, the network management port is configured to automatically retrieve
network configuration using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and to
allow connections using Secure Shell (SSH).
Note – If you are unable to use DHCP and SSH on your network, you must connect
to the ALOM CMT system controller using the serial management port to
reconfigure the network management port. See “To Configure the System Controller
Network Management Port” on page 39.
Once the network management port (NET MGT) has been assigned an IP address,
you can connect to the ALOM CMT system controller using Telnet or SSH.
Passwords
There is no default password when connecting to the ALOM CMT system controller
for the first time using the serial management port. To set the admin password, see
“To Log Into the System Controller Using the Network Management Port” on
page 43.
When connecting to the ALOM CMT system controller using the network
management port for the first time, the default password is the last eight digits of
the chassis serial number. The serial number is located on the rear of the server. It is
also printed on the system information sheet that shipped with the server.
34SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Installation Guide • April 2007
Page 61
▼ 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 cables, 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 cables are 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. Type #. to return to the ALOM CMT system controller
prompt. For more information, refer to the Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM)CMT 1.x Administration Guide.
The system controller runs on the 3.3v standby voltage. As soon as AC power is
connected to the system, the system controller powers on, runs diagnostics, and
initializes the ALOM CMT firmware.
1. If you have not already done so, connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or
workstation) to the SC serial management port. Configure the terminal or terminal
emulator with these settings:
■ 9600 baud
■ 8 bits
■ No parity
■ 1 Stop bit
■ No handshaking
Note – When you power on the server for the first time and you do not have a
terminal or terminal emulator (PC or workstation) connected to the SC serial
management port, you will not see system messages. The display times out and
disappears after about 60 seconds. After connecting to the SPARC Enterprise T2000
server with a terminal or terminal emulator, type #. to get to the system controller
console.
2. Turn on the terminal or terminal emulator.
3. Connect the AC power cables to Power Supply 0 and Power Supply 1, and watch
the terminal for system messages.

▼ To Log Into the System Controller Using the
Serial Management Port
After the system controller boots you can access the ALOM CMT command line
interface to configure and manage the system.
The sc prompt is displayed at the first time the system controller is booted. The
default configuration provides an ALOM CMT user account called admin. There is
no default password, so you must create a password using the system controller (sc)password command.

2. Enter admin for the login name followed by your password.
Note – If your network allows the use of DHCP and SSH, this configuration is
performed automatically at the first time you boot the system.
Use this procedure only if:
■ If you are unable to use DHCP and SSH on your network.
■ If you need to modify the SC network management port settings.
In this procedure you connect to the ALOM CMT system controller using the serial
management port to manually reconfigure the network management port.
Note – For more information on configuring ALOM CMT, refer to the Advanced
Lights Out Management (ALOM) CMT 1.x Guide.
You set these network parameters according to the specific details of your network
configuration:
■ if_network – Specifies whether the SC is on the network or not
■ netsc_ipaddr – IP address of the system controller
■ netsc_ipgateway – IP address of the gateway for the subnet
■ netsc_ipnetmask – Netmask for the system controller subnet
To configure these parameters, use the setsc command. The usage is:
sc> setsc parameter
Chapter 3 Powering On the System39
Page 66
1. Set the if_network parameter to true.
sc> setsc if_network true
2. Set the if_connection parameter to the connection type, either telnet or ssh.
sc> setsc if_connection value
where the value can be one of the following:
■ none
■ telnet
■ ssh
■ netsc_dhcp (The system controller obtains its network interface configuration
through a DHCP server.)
See the Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) CMT Guide for more information
about SSH support in ALOM CMT.
3. Choose one of these methods to configure the system controller using information
from your network administrator:
■ Use DHCP to retrieve the network settings. Go to Step 4.
■ Configure a static IP configuration. Go to Step 5.
4. If you choose to use DHCP, set netsc_dhcp to true.
sc> setsc netsc_dhcp true
Go to Step 6.
5. If you choose to use a static IP configuration, set the parameters netsc_ipaddr,
netsc_ipgateway, and netsc_ipnetmask, as follows.
a. Set the IP address for the system controller.
sc> setsc netsc_ipaddr service-processor-IPaddr
b. Set the IP address for the system controller gateway.
sc> setsc netsc_ipgateway gateway-IPaddr
40SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Installation Guide • April 2007
Page 67
c. 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. Use a netmask number most appropriate
to your environment.
6. Use the showsc command to verify that the parameters were set correctly.
Note – After setting the configuration parameters, you must reset the system
controller for the new values to take affect. See “To Reset the System Controller” on
page 42.
▼ To Reset the System Controller
After all of the configuration parameters are set, you must reset the system controller
for the new values to take affect.

Using the System Controller for
Common Operations
▼ To Power On the System
Powering on the system requires you to use the poweron command at the SC
console.
● To initiate the power-on sequence, issue the poweron command.
You will see an sc> alert message on the system console. This indicates that the
system has reset.
sc> poweron
SC Alert: Host System has Reset
sc>
▼ To Connect to the System Console
Output from POST, OpenBoot, and the Solaris OS is displayed in the system console
using the network console on the system controller.
● Execute the console command, and use the –f option to force the console to be
attached to your session.
Multiple users can be connected to the console, but only one can be attached.
sc> console –f
Enter #. to return to ALOM.

Note – For more information about POST output, see the SPARC Enterprise T2000
Server Service Manual.
▼ To Perform a Normal System Initialization
After you issue the poweron command, the CPU and memory controllers initialize,
and eventually OpenBoot initializes. After a number of system console messages,
you will see the ok prompt, or the system will boot into the Solaris OS.
Note – System behavior depends on how the auto-boot variable is set. See the
SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Service Manual for more information.

The Solaris OS is preinstalled on SPARC Enterprise T2000 server on the disk in slot
0. The Solaris OS is not configured (that is, the sys-unconfig command was run in
the factory). If you boot the system from this disk, you will be prompted to configure
the Solaris OS for your environment.
▼ To Boot the Solaris Operating System
1. At the ok prompt, boot from the disk that contains the Solaris OS.
If you know which disk to boot from, skip Step a and perform Step 2.
46SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Installation Guide • April 2007
Page 73
a. If you need to determine which disk to boot from, issue the show-disks
command at the ok prompt to see the path to the configured disks, similar to
the following:
ok show-disks
a) /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/pci@0,2/LSILogic,sas@4/disk
q) NO SELECTION
Enter Selection, q to quit: q
ok
2. Type the boot command at the ok prompt.
Use the value from Step 1 to construct the boot command. You will need to append
the target to the disk path. In the following example, the system is being booted
from disk 0 (zero), so @0,0 is appended to the disk path.
ok boot /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/pci@0,2/LSILogic,sas@4/disk@0,0

▼ To Reset the System
● If it is necessary to reset the system, use the init 6 command.
# init 6
To simply reset the system, it is not necessary to power the system off and on.
▼ To Power Cycle the System
If a simple reset does not clear a system problem, you can power the system off and
on with this procedure.
1. Shut down the Solaris OS.
At the Solaris OS prompt, issue the init 0 command to halt the Solaris OS and to
return to the ok prompt.
# init 0
WARNING: proc_exit: init exited

4. Issue the poweron command.
sc> poweron
sc> SC Alert: Host System has Reset
5. Reconnect to the system console using the console command.
sc> console -f
Enter #. to return to ALOM.
The systems displays various messages, followed by the ok prompt.
Verifying System Functionality
After powering on the system for the first time, you can use the SunVTS™ software
to verify the functionality and performance of any installed components, as well as
its network connections. Refer to the SunVTS documentation for more information.

Updating the Firmware
The flashupdate command updates both the system controller firmware and the
SPARC Enterprise T2000 server firmware.
The flash image consists of the following components:
■ System controller firmware
■ OpenBoot
■ POST
■ Reset/Config
■ Sequencer
■ Partition description
Updating the Firmware
To use the features and fixes in subsequent firmware releases, perform this
procedure.
▼ To Update the Firmware

4. Execute the flashupdate command.
The flashupdate SC command updates the system controller flash image and the
host firmware. The flashupdate command requires the following information:
■ IP address of an FTP server on the network that can access the flash image.
■ Full path name to the flash image that the IP address can access.
■ Username and password of an account registered on the system that is specified by the IP
address.
The command usage is as follows:
flashupdate [-s IPaddr -f pathname] [-v]
where:
■ -s IPaddr is the IP address of any FTP server on the network that can access the
flash image
■ -f pathname is the full path name to the flash image

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.
Note – To bypass the confirmation prompt, you can use the -y flag with the
resetsc command. If resetsc is issued from a Telnet or SSH session, upon reset
the Telnet or SSH session will be terminated. The output from the reset will be
displayed on the serial console on the system controller.

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.
This procedure assumes that you are familiar with the OpenBoot firmware and that
you know how to enter the OpenBoot environment. For more information, see the
SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Administration Guide.
Note – The serial management port on the ALOM CMT card is preconfigured as the
default system console port. For more information, see the SPARC Enterprise T2000
Server Overview.
If you want to boot from a network, you must connect the network interface to the
network.
▼ To Select a Boot Device
● At the ok prompt, type:
ok setenv boot-device device-specifier
Where the device-specifier is one of the following:
■ cdrom – Specifies the DVD drive
■ disk – Specifies the system boot disk (internal disk 0 by default)
■ 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.
Note – You can specify the name of the program to be booted as well as the way the
boot program operates. For more information, refer to the OpenBoot 4.x Command
Reference Manual in the OpenBoot Collection AnswerBook for your specific Solaris OS
release.
If you want to specify a network interface other than an onboard Ethernet interface
as the default boot device, you can determine the full path name of each interface by
typing:
ok show-devs
The show-devs command lists the system devices and displays the full path name
of each PCI device.
