2SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Installation Guide • February 2008
Tools and Equipment Needed
To install the system, you must have the following tools:
■ No. 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 PCI cards, 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 EnterpriseT5140 and T5240 Servers Service Manual for installation instructions.
Note – The list of optional components can be updated without notice. See the
product web pages 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 servers.
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation3
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 that 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 service processor
■ 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 3.
4. Mount the server into a rack or cabinet. See “Installing the Servers in a Rack” on
page 15 for both the 1U and 2U servers. Or, if you ordered the express rail
rackmounting kit, which has the same rack rail assemblies for both servers, see
“Installing the Servers in a Rack With Express Rails” on page 71.
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 37.
4SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Installation Guide • February 2008
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
service processor immediately powers on and runs diagnostics. Diagnostic test
failures will be printed on the serial terminal. For more information, refer to the
Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 Supplement for SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240
Servers.
6. Connect the data cables to the server, but do not connect the AC power cable yet.
See “Connecting the Server Cables for Both Servers” on page 31.
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 37.
Caution – There is a potential for electric shock if the server and related equipment
are not properly grounded.
Note – The service processor runs on the 3.3V standby voltage. As soon as AC
power is connected to the system, the service processor immediately powers on,
runs diagnostics, and initializes the ILOM firmware.
8. After the service processor boots, access the ILOM command-line interface (CLI)
through the serial management port. See “To Log Into the Service Processor Using
the Serial Management Port” on page 45.
9. Configure the service processor network addresses. See “To Configure the Service
Processor Network Management Port” on page 47.
Note – The service processor network management port is not operational until you
configure network settings for the service processor (through the service processor
serial management port).
10. Commit the changes to the service processor network parameters. See Step 5 in
“To Power On the System for the First Time” on page 38.
11. Power on the server from a keyboard using the ILOM software. See “To Power On
the System” on page 51.
12. Configure the Solaris OS. See “Booting the Solaris Operating System” on page 56.
The Solaris OS is preinstalled on the servers. When you power on, you are
automatically guided through the Solaris OS configuration procedure.
13. Install any required patches to the server.
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation5
Refer to the SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Product Notes for a list of
required patches.
14. Load additional software from the Solaris media kit (optional).
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

■ Minimum cable connections for the servers:
■ At least one system on-board Ethernet network connection (NET port)
■ The service processor serial management port (SER MGT port)
■ The service processor network management port (NET MGT port)
■ Power cables for the two system power supplies
■ Service processor management ports: There are two service processor
management ports for use with the ILOM service processor.
■ The service processor serial management port (labeled SER MGT) uses an RJ-45
cable and is always available. This port is the default connection to the ILOM
service processor.
■ The service processor network management port (labeled NET MGT) is the
optional connection to the ILOM service processor. This port is not available
until you configure network settings for the service processor (through the
service processor serial management port). See “Enabling the Service Processor
Network Management Port” on page 44. The service processor network
management port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100 BASE-T connection. This
port does not support connections to Gigabit networks.
See the SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Overview for more information.
6SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Installation Guide • February 2008
■ Ethernet ports are labeled NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3. The Ethernet interfaces
operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps.
TABLE 1-1 shows the transfer rates
for the Ethernet ports.

Fast Ethernet100BASE-TX100 Mbits/sec
Gigabit Ethernet1000BASE-T1000 Mbit/sec
■ TTYA serial port: Use the DB-9 connector with a null modem cable for serial
devices. This port appears as ttya in Solaris OS and OpenBoot™ messages. This
port is not connected to the service processor 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 four USB controllers, for a
total of 504 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 ILOM service processor initializes as soon as the AC power cables
are connected to the power source. System messages might be lost after 60
seconds if the server is not connected to a terminal, PC, or workstation.

This port is the farthest left RJ-45 port on the rear panel.
Note – The cable and DB-9 RJ-45 adapters are for the host serial port, and not for
the server SER MGT port.
FIGURE 2-14 Service Processor Serial Management Port – Rear Panel
30SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Installation Guide • February 2008
Use this port for server management. This port is needed to set up the service
processor network management port, as detailed in “Enabling the Service Processor
Network Management Port” on page 44.
Note – Use the service processor serial management port only for server
management. It is the default connection between the service processor 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.
When connecting either a DB-9 or a DB-25 cable, use an adapter to perform the
crossovers given for each connector.
▼ To Connect the Service Processor Network
Management Port
The service processor network management port is labeled NET MGT (FIGURE 2-15).
This port is located just to the right of the serial management (SER MGT) port on the
rear panel.
FIGURE 2-15 Service Processor Network Management Port – Rear Panel
Note – This port is not operational until you configure the network settings
(through the serial management port), as detailed in “To Configure the Service
Processor Network Management Port” on page 47.
Note – If you have access to a DHCP server on the network, you can see the service
processor get an IP address because the DHCP client is enabled by default.
Chapter 2 Installing the SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers31
Note – The service processor network management port is configured by default to
retrieve network settings with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and
allow connections using Solaris Secure Shell (SSH). You might need to modify these
settings for your network. Instructions are given in Chapter 3.
● Connect a Category 5 cable from the NET MGT network management port to
your network switch or hub.
▼ To Connect the Ethernet Network Cables
The server has four network connectors, marked NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3
(

Powering On the System
This chapter includes instructions for booting the servers and for enabling the
service processor network management port.
This chapter contains the following topics:
■ “Powering On the System for the First Time” on page 37
■ “Enabling the Service Processor Network Management Port” on page 44
■ “Logging Into the Service Processor” on page 45
■ “Using the Service Processor for Common Operations” on page 50
■ “Booting the Solaris Operating System” on page 56
■ “Verifying System Functionality” on page 59
Powering On the System for the First
Time
This section provides an overview and instructions for powering on your system the
first time.
ILOM System Console
When you power on the system, the boot process begins under the control of the
Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) system console. The system console displays
status and error messages generated by firmware-based tests during system startup.
37
Note – To see these status and error messages, connect a terminal or terminal
emulator to the serial management port (SER MGT). For a basic procedure to
connect a terminal or terminal emulator, see “To Power On the System for the First
Time” on page 38.
For a more detailed discussion on configuring the system console and connecting
terminals, refer to the SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Administration Guide.
ILOM Service Processor
After the system console finishes its low-level system diagnostics, the ILOM service
processor initializes and runs a higher level of diagnostics. When you access the
ILOM service processor using a device connected to the serial management port, you
see the output of the ILOM diagnostics.
By default, the service processor configures the network management port
automatically, retrieving network configuration settings using the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and allowing connections using Secure Shell (SSH).
Note – If you are unable to use DHCP on your network, you must connect to the
ILOM service processor using the serial management port to configure the network
management port for your network. See “To Configure the Service Processor
Network Management Port” on page 47.
▼ To Power On the System for the First Time
1. Confirm that you have completed all of the preparations for installation.
See the instructions in Chapter 1.
2. Confirm that you have completed the installation of the server in its rack.
See the instructions in Chapter 2.
3. Connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to the service
processor serial management port.
Configure the terminal or terminal emulator with these settings:
■ 9600 baud
■ 8 bits
■ No parity
■ 1 Stop bit
38SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Installation Guide • February 2008
■ No handshake
A null modem configuration is needed, meaning the transmit and receive signals are
reversed (crossed over) for DTE to DTE communications. You can use the supplied
RJ-45 crossover adapters with a standard RJ-45 cable to achieve the null modem
configuration.
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 service processor
serial management port, you will not see system messages.

Note – Only one power connection is required for operation. Use two power
connections for redundancy.
The service processor runs on the 3.3V standby voltage. As soon as AC power is
connected to the system, the service processor powers on, runs diagnostics, and
initializes the ILOM firmware.
After a few minutes, the SP login prompt appears on the terminal device. The
host is not initialized or powered on yet.
7. At the terminal device, log in to the SP as root with a password of changeme.
After a brief delay, the SP prompt is displayed (->). At this point, there are many
commands you can perform using the Integrated Lights Out Manager interface.
Additional SP information, such as how to change the password and how to set
up the SP network parameters is available in the online documentation set.
8. Power on the server and redirect the host output to display on the serial
terminal device:
-> start /SYS
Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y
-> start /SP/console
Are you sure you want to start /SP/CONSOLE (y/n)? y

network employs DHCP, in which case the configuration in automatic. If you
network uses DHCP, you can run this command
-> show /SP/network
to view your server’s network configuration information. For example,
If your network does not use DHCP, the network management port is not
operational until you configure network settings for the service processor. Configure
the service processor in this order:
1. After the service processor boots, access the ILOM CLI through the serial
management port. See “To Log Into the Service Processor Using the Serial
Management Port” on page 45.
44SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Installation Guide • February 2008
2. Configure the service processor. See “To Configure the Service Processor Network
Management Port” on page 47.
3. Commit the changes to the service processor parameters. See Step 5 in “To
Configure the Service Processor Network Management Port” on page 47.
You can now use the network management port at any time to access the service
processor. See “To Log Into the Service Processor Using the Network Management
Port” on page 50.
Logging Into the Service Processor
If you are powering on the system for the first time after installation, use the service
processor serial port to power on the system and run POST. See “To Log Into the
Service Processor Using the Serial Management Port” on page 45.
If the network management port has already been configured, you can use it instead
of the serial management port. See “To Log Into the Service Processor Using the
Network Management Port” on page 50.
▼ To Log Into the Service Processor Using the
Serial Management Port
After the service processor boots, access the ILOM CLI to configure and manage the
system. The ILOM CLI prompt (->) is displayed at the first time the service
processor is booted. The default configuration provides an ILOM CLI root user
account. The default root password is changeme. Change the password using the
service processor ILOM CLI password command.

▼ To Configure the Service Processor Network
Management Port
Note – If your network allows the use of DHCP, this configuration is performed
automatically the first time you boot the system.
Use this procedure only when:
■ You are unable to use DHCP on your network.
■ You need to modify the ILOM service processor network management port
settings.
In this procedure, you connect to the ILOM service processor using the serial
management port to manually reconfigure the network management port.
Note – For more information on configuring ILOM, refer to the Integrated Lights Out
Manager 2.0 Supplement for SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers.
Set these network parameters according to the specific details of your network
configuration:
■ /SP/network state – Specifies whether the service processor is on the network
or not
■ /SP/network pendingipaddress – IP address of the service processor
■ /SP/network pendingipgateway – IP address of the gateway for the subnet
■ /SP/network pendingipnetmask – Netmask for the service processor subnet
■ /SP/network pindingipdiscovery - Specifies whether the service processor
uses DHCP or static IP address assignment
■ /SP/network commitpending - Commits the service processor to use the
pending settings
Configure these parameters with the set command. The usage is as follows:
set target property=value where /SP/network is the target and
pendingipaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, for example, is the property=value.
3. Configure the service processor using information from your network
administrator.
Your choices are
■dhcp - Set up the network connection with a dynamically created IP
configuration.
■static - Set up the network connection with a static IP configuration.
Chapter 3 Powering On the System47
a. If you choose to use a dynamically created IP address (use DHCP to retrieve
the network setting), set pendingipdiscovery to dhcp.
-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=dhcp
Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'dhcp'
a. If you choose to configure a static IP configuration. set the parameters
pendingipdiscovery, pendingipaddress, pendingipgateway, and
pendingipnetmask as follows.
i. Set the service processor to accept a static IP address.
-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static
Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'static'
ii. Set the IP address for the service processor.
-> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=service-processor-IPaddr
Set 'pendingipaddress' to 'service-processor-IPaddr'
iii. Set the IP address for the service processor gateway.
-> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=gateway-IPaddr
Set 'pendingipgateway' to 'gateway-IPaddr'
iv.Set the netmask for the service processor.
-> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
Set 'pendingipnetmask' to '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.
4. Use the show /SP/network command to verify that the parameters were set
correctly.

5. Commit the changes to the service processor network parameters.
-> set /SP/network commitpending=true
Set 'commitpending' to 'true'
Note – You can run the show /SP/network command again (after performing the
set /SP/network commitpending=true command) to verify that the
parameters have been updated.

Booting the Solaris Operating System
The Solaris OS is preinstalled on the servers 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.
Chapter 3 Powering On the System55
▼ 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 this step and perform Step 2.
■ 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@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk
b) /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/storage@2/disk

Selecting a Boot Device
This appendix provides instructions on selecting a boot device.
■ “Selecting a Boot Device” on page 65
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 T5140 and T5240 Servers Administration Guide.
Note – The serial management port on the ILOM card is preconfigured as the
default system console port. For more information, see the SPARC Enterprise T5140
and T5240 Servers Overview.
If you want to boot from a network, you must connect the network interface to the
network.
65
▼ 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 on-board Ethernet interface
as the default boot device, you can determine the full path name of each interface by
typing either of the following commands:
ok show-devs
ok show-nets
The show-devs command lists the system devices and displays the full path name
of each PCI device.
