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.
Caution – Electrostatic damage 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.
Note – The list of optional components can be updated without notice.

Installation Overview

This installation guide provides procedures that must 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:
Gateway IP address
IP address for the system controller
Netmask
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 Components” on page 3.
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation 3
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. 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 Guide.
6. Connect the data cables to the server, but do not connect the AC power cable yet. See “Connecting the Server Cables” on page 21.
7. Connect the AC power cable to the server and examine the display for any error messages. See “Powering On the Server for the First Time” on page 25.
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 In To the System Controller
Using the Serial Management Port” on page 29.
9. Configure the SC network management port. See “To Configure the System
Controller Network Management Port” on page 31.
10. Enable the new configuration by resetting the system controller. See “To Reset
the System Controller” on page 34.
11. Power on the server using the ALOM CMT software. See “To Initiate the Power
On Sequence” on page 36.
12. Configure the Solaris OS. See “To Boot the Solaris Operating System” on page 39.
4 SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Installation Guide • April 2007
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 Solaris media kit (sold separately) includes several CDs containing software
to help you operate, configure, and administer your server. Refer to the documentation provided with the media kit for a complete listing of included software and detailed installation instructions.

Slide Rail Assembly Notes

The rackmount kit has two slide rail assemblies. Each slide rail assembly can be installed on either the right or left side of the rack.
A slide rail assembly consists of three main sections, a front section, a sliding rear section, and a removable mounting bracket ( includes two extension brackets.
FIGURE 1-2). The rackmount kit also

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation 5
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. (100 mm) before separating from the slide rail. The mounting brackets mount directly to the sides of the server chassis.
There are two locks on each server mounting bracket (FIGURE 1-3). The lock
enables the mounting bracket to slide forward. The mounting bracket release allows you to remove the mounting bracket from the slide rail. You also use the release when pushing the mounting bracket into the slide rail.

System controller (SC) management ports. There are two SC management ports
for use with the ALOM CMT system controller.
The SC serial management port (labeled SERIAL MGT) uses an RJ-45 cable and
is always available. This is the default connection to the ALOM CMT system controller.
The SC network management port (labeled NET MGT) is the optional
connection to the ALOM CMT system controller. See “To Configure the System
Controller Network Management Port” on page 31. The SC network
management port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100BASE-T connection. This port does not support connections to Gigabit networks.

14 SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Installation Guide • April 2007

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.
If your rack does not have threaded mounting holes, the mounting screws go
through bracket and rack post, and are secured with a caged nut. Select the appropriate screws and nuts from the package included in the mounting kit.
3. Loosen the two captive screws (
FIGURE 2-4) approximately a quarter-turn on each
slide rail.
This action allows movement of the rear section so that you can adjust the length of each slide rail.
Front
FIGURE 2-4 Captive Screws on the Slide Rail
Chapter 2 Installing the Server 15
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.
Rear
FIGURE 2-5 Using the Extension Bracket
Note – In some very rare cases, it may be necessary to mount the extension bracket
with its side flange facing forward.

Powering On the System

This chapter includes instructions for booting the server and for enabling the system controller network management port.
The following topics are discussed:
“Powering On the Server for the First Time” on page 25
“Logging In To the ALOM CMT System Controller” on page 29
“Using the ALOM CMT System Controller for Common Operations” on page 35
“Booting the Solaris Operating System” on page 39

Powering On the Server 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.
25
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.
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 31.
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 In To the System Controller Using the Serial Management Port” on page 29.
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.
26 SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Installation Guide • April 2007

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. For more information, refer to the Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) CMT 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. 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
2. Turn on the terminal or terminal emulator.
3. Connect the AC power cable to the server and watch the terminal for system messages.

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 Guide.
Chapter 3 Powering On the System 31
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
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.
32 SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Installation Guide • April 2007
a. Set the IP address for the system controller.
sc> setsc netsc_ipaddr service-processor-IPaddr

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 use the features and fixes in subsequent firmware releases, perform this procedure.
43

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. Login as admin, using the password you defined during the configuration of
the system controller.
Please login: admin Please Enter password: password sc>
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
44 SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Installation Guide • April 2007
-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.
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.
sc> resetsc Are you sure you want to reset the SC [y/n]? y User Requested SC Shutdown
The system controller resets, runs diagnostics, and returns to the login prompt (on the serial console), similar to

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 appendix includes the following topic:
Connecting the Network Interface to the Network

Connecting the Network Interface to the Network

To boot from a network, you must connect the network interface to the network.
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 T1000 Server Administration Guide.
To Connect the Network Interface to the
Network
At the ok prompt, type:
ok setenv boot-device device-specifier
where the device-specifier is one of the following:
47
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.
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 for your specific Solaris OS release.
If you want to specify a network interface other than an on-board 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.

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.
This appendix includes the following topic:
Configuring the System Controller Network Manager Port

Configuring the System Controller Network Manager Port

To Configure the System Controller Network
Management Port
To access the system controller using the network for the first time, you must first configure the SC network management port through the SC serial management port.
You set these network parameters according to the specific details of your network configuration:
if_network – Specified 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
49
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. Use a netmask number most appropriate to your environment.
2. Set the IP address for the system controller.
sc> setsc netsc_ipaddr service-processor-IPaddr
3. Set the IP address for the system controller gateway.
sc> setsc netsc_ipgateway gateway-IPaddr
4. Set the if_network parameter to true.
sc> setsc if_network true
5. Use the showsc command to verify that the parameters were set correctly.
The showsc command displays all the configuration parameters and their values, as shown in the example below.
50 SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Installation Guide • April 2007
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.
