Input Power Information and
Precautions
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers are available in the following
input power configurations:
■ Two redundant, hot-swappable AC power supplies
Preparing for Installation3
Page 15
■ Two redundant, DC power supplies
Note – Safety agency requirements prohibit manufacturers from changing a product
from AC input to DC input or from DC input to AC input after the product has been
removed from the agency approved manufacturing site.
Note – The DC version of the server must be installed in a restricted-access location.
According to the intent of the National Electrical Code, a restricted-access location is
an area intended for qualified or trained personnel only and has access controlled by
a locking mechanism, such as a key lock or an access card system.
When each power supply is connected to a separate power source, the server
continues to operating under the following fault conditions:
■ A power source failure that removes input power from one of the power supplies.
■ Failure of one of the power supplies.
■ Service actions which require removal of one of the power supplies.
Refer to the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Site Planning Guide for
input power specifications.
Note – Input AC/DC power cables: To avoid missing initialization messages, 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 input power cables are connected to the power
source.

Page 22
■ 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 “Enable the Service Processor
Network Management Port” on page 47.
■ 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 Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Overview for
more information.
■ Ethernet ports are labeled NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3. The Ethernet interfaces
operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps. The table below shows the transfer
rates for the Ethernet ports.
TABLE:Ethernet Connection Transfer Rates
Connection TypeIEEE TerminologyTransfer Rate
Ethernet10BASE-T10 Mbit/sec
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.

Slide Rail Assembly Notes for Both
Servers
The rackmounting kit has two slide rail assemblies. A slide rail assembly can be
installed on either the right or left side of the rack.
Note – The slide rail assemblies are different for the T5140 and T5240 servers. The
removable mounting bracket of the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 rail slides 13 in. (33
cm) out of the slide rail, then locks in place. The removable mounting bracket of the
Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 rails slide 14 in. (35.5 cm) before locking.
Each slide rail assembly consists of a three-section slide rail and a removable
mounting bracket.

Page 27
■ 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 removable mounting bracket slides 14 in. (35.5 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 server chassis.
■ There are a total of five locks in a slide rail assembly. Four are on the mounting
bracket. One lock is on the front section of the slide rail. “Installing the Servers in
a Rack” on page 19 describes the uses of these locks.

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.
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 “Power On the System for the First Time” on
page 43.
For a more detailed discussion on configuring the system console and connecting
terminals, refer to the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers AdministrationGuide.

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.

1. Confirm that you have completed all of the preparations for installation.
See the instructions in “Preparing for Installation” on page 1.
2. Confirm that you have completed the installation of the server in its rack.
See the instructions in “Installing the Servers in a Rack” on page 19.
3. Connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to the service
processor serial management port (FIGURE: Server Connections on page 44).
Configure the terminal or terminal emulator with these settings:
■ 9600 baud
■ 8 bits
■ No parity
■ 1 Stop bit
■ 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.
4. (Optional) Connect an Ethernet cable between the server’s NET MGT port and
the network to which future connections to the SP and host will be made.
After the initial configuration of the system using the SP SER MGT port,
communication with the SP and host is usually performed through this Ethernet
interface.

Selecting a Boot Device
This section provides instructions on selecting a boot device.
■ “Boot Device Selection Overview” on page 67
■ “Select a Boot Device” on page 68
Boot Device Selection Overview
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
Sun 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 Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and
T5240 Servers Overview.
If you want to boot from a network, you must 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:
■ 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 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 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.

Slide Rail Assembly Notes for the
Express Rail Rackmounting Kit
The express rail rackmounting kit installs quickly, and does not require mounting
screws or nuts. The kit and the installation procedures are the same for both the Sun
SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers.
Note – The illustrations used to support the procedure description show a 2U server
as an example.
Note – References to left and right are from your viewpoint as you face either the
front or the rear of the system.
Note – If your rackmounting kit came with its own instructions, use the instructions
in your rackmounting kit instead of the instructions in this section. After performing
the server installation, proceed to “Powering On the System” on page 41 for
first-time power on.

Page 81
The express rail rackmounting 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 removable
mounting bracket.

■ The front, middle, and rear sections form the slide rail. The middle and rear sections
have holes for mounting 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 removable mounting bracket slides 14.5 in. (37 cm) out of the slide rail, then
locks in place. If you unlock the mounting bracket at this point, it slides an
additional 14.5 in. (37 cm) before separating from the slide rail. You can then
mount the mounting bracket to the right or left side of the server chassis.
■ There are six locks in a slide rail assembly. Four are on the mounting bracket. Two
locks are on the slide rail.

■ DC power source must meet TNV-2 requirements as defined by UL 60950-1 and
IEC 60950-1
Note – Depending on the DC power source, the -48V or -60V (negative terminal)
might be marked with a minus (-) symbol. The -48V or -60V Return (positive
terminal) might be marked with a positive (+) symbol.
When attaching DC cables, keep the following caution in mind:
Caution – You must restrict the connection of the server to the DC power source to
minimize the possibility that transient energy will appear on the main input to the
equipment. The DC battery power source must be in the same premises as the server.
The server cannot be in one building with the power source in another building.

4. Strip 5/16 in. (8 mm) of insulation from each of the wires coming from the DC
power source.
Do not strip more than 5/16 in. (8 mm) from each wire. Doing so leaves
uninsulated wire exposed from the DC connector after the assembly is complete.
