■
Use a separate area to remove the packaging material to reduce particle contamination
before the server is taken to the data center.
■
Ensure that there is enough clearance and clear pathways to move the server from the
unpacking area to the installation location.
■
Ensure the entire access route to the installation site is free of raised-pattern flooring that
causes vibration.
Rack Space Requirements
The Oracle Server X7-2 is a 1 rack unit (1U) server. Oracle Server X7-2L is a 2U server. For
physical dimensions, see “Server Physical Specifications” on page 13.

“Ventilation and Cooling Requirements” on page 17
Temperature Guidelines
An ambient temperature range of 21° to 23° Celsius (70° to 74° Fahrenheit) is optimal for
server reliability and operator comfort. Most computer equipment can operate in a wide
temperature range, but approximately 22° Celsius (72° Fahrenheit) is recommended because it
is easier to maintain safe humidity levels. Operating in this temperature range provides a safety
buffer in the event that the air conditioning system is not running for a period of time.
Humidity Guidelines
The ambient relative humidity range of 45 to 50 percent is acceptable for safe data processing
operations. Most computer equipment can operate in a wide range (20 to 80 percent), but 45 to
50 percent is the recommended optimal range for the following reasons:
■
Helps protect computer systems from corrosion problems associated with high humidity
levels.
16 Oracle Servers X7-2 and X7-2L Installation Guide • October 2017
Page 17
■
Provides the greatest operating time buffer in the event of air conditioner control failure.
■
Reduces or eliminates failures or temporary malfunctions caused by intermittent
interference from static discharges, which might occur when relative humidity is too low.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is easily generated and not easily dissipated in areas where the
relative humidity level is below 35 percent.
Caution - ESD risk becomes critical when levels drop below 30 percent.
Ventilation and Cooling Requirements
Always provide adequate space in front of and behind the rack to allow for proper ventilation
of rackmounted servers. Do not obstruct the front or back of the rack with equipment or objects
that might prevent air from flowing through the rack. Rackmountable servers and equipment,
including Oracle Server X7-2 and Oracle Server X7-2L, draw cool air in through the front of
the rack and release warm air out the back of the rack. There is no airflow requirement for the
left and right sides due to front-to-back cooling.
Ventilation and Cooling Requirements
If the rack is not completely filled with components, cover the empty sections with filler panels.
Gaps between components can adversely affect airflow and cooling in the rack.
The servers function while installed in a natural convection airflow. Follow these environmental
specifications for optimal ventilation:
■
Ensure that air intake is in the front of the system, and the air outlet is in the back. Take care
to prevent recirculation of exhaust air in a rack or cabinet.
■
Allow minimum clearance of 123.2 cm (48.5 inches) in the front of the system, and 91.4 cm
(36 inches) in the back.
■
Ensure unobstructed airflow through the chassis. The Oracle Server X7-2 uses internal fans
that can achieve a total airflow of 90 CFM and Oracle Server X7-2L uses internal fans that
can achieve 140 CFM, within the specified range of operating conditions.
■
Ensure that ventilation openings, such as cabinet doors for both the inlet and exhaust of the
server, are unobstructed. For example, Oracle Rack Cabinet 1242 and Sun Rack II cabinets
are optimized for cooling. Both the front and back doors have 80 percent perforations that
provide a high level of airflow through the rack.
■
Ensure that front and back clearances between the cabinet doors is a minimum of 2.5 cm
(1 inch) at the front of the server and 8 cm (3.15 inches) at the back of the server when
mounted. These clearance values are based on the inlet and exhaust impedance (available
open area) and assume a uniform distribution of the open area across the inlet and exhaust
areas, which improve cooling performance.
Preparing for Server Installation 17
Page 18
Electrical Requirements
Note - The combination of inlet and exhaust restrictions, such as cabinet doors and the
distance of the server from the doors, can affect the cooling performance of the server.
You must evaluate these restrictions. Server placement is particularly important for hightemperature environments.
■
Manage cables to minimize interference with the server exhaust vent.
Electrical Requirements
The servers use AC power. The following table contains the power supply specifications for the
servers.
Note - The power dissipation numbers listed in the following table are the maximum rated
power numbers for the power supply used in the server. The numbers are not a rating of the
actual power consumption of the server. For up-to-date information about power consumption,
go to the Oracle Power Calculators web site: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-
storage/sun-power-calculators/index.html, and click the Oracle Server X7-2 or Oracle
Server X7-2L link.
Parameter Specification
Voltage (nominal) 100-240 VAC
Input current (maximum) 100-127 VAC 7.2 A and 200-240 VAC 3.4 A
Frequency (nominal) 50/60 Hz (47 to 63 Hz range)
Maximum power consumption 2400 W
Maximum heat output 11600 BTU/Hr
The servers can operate effectively over a range of voltages and frequencies.
18 Oracle Servers X7-2 and X7-2L Installation Guide • October 2017
Page 19
Electrical Requirements
Caution - Servers must have a reliable power source. If the system exceeds the ranges, damage
to the server might occur. Electrical disturbances, such as the following, might damage the
system:
■
Fluctuations caused by brownouts
■
Wide and rapid variations in input voltage levels or in input power frequency
■
Electrical storms
■
Faults in the distribution system, such as defective wiring
To protect your server from such disturbances, use a dedicated power distribution system,
power-conditioning equipment, and lightning arresters or power cables for protection from
electrical storms.
See the following additional power specifications.
■
“Facility Power Guidelines” on page 19
■
“Circuit Breaker and UPS Guidelines” on page 20
■
“Grounding Guidelines” on page 20
Facility Power Guidelines
Electrical work and installations must comply with applicable local, state, or national electrical
codes. To determine the type of power that is supplied to the building, contact your facilities
manager or qualified electrician.
To prevent failures:
■
Design the input power sources to ensure adequate power is provided to the power
distribution units (PDUs).
■
Use dedicated AC breaker panels for all power circuits that supply power to the PDU.
■
When planning for power distribution requirements, balance the power load between
available AC supply branch circuits.
■
In the United States and Canada, ensure that the current load of the overall system AC input
does not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC current rating.
PDU power cords for the Oracle Rack Cabinet 1242 and Sun Rack II are 4 meters (13.12 feet)
long, and 1 to 1.5 meters (3.3 to 4.9 feet) of the cord might be routed in the rack cabinet. The
installation site AC power receptacle must be within 2 meters (6.6 feet) of the rack.

Agency Compliance
Circuit Breaker and UPS Guidelines
To prevent failures:
■
Ensure the design of your power system provides adequate power to the server.
■
Use dedicated AC breaker panels for all power circuits that supply power to the server.
■
Ensure that electrical work and installations comply with applicable local, state, or national
electrical codes.
■
Ensure the electrical circuits are grounded.
■
Provide a stable power source, such as an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to reduce
the possibility of component failures. If computer equipment is subjected to repeated power
interruptions and fluctuations, then it is susceptible to a higher rate of component failure.
Grounding Guidelines
Use the following guidelines for grounding the server:
■
Always connect the cords to grounded power outlets.
■
Because different grounding methods are used, depending on location, verify the grounding
type. For the correct grounding method, refer to local electrical codes.
■
Ensure that a facility administrator or qualified electrical engineer verifies the grounding
method for the building and performs the grounding work.
Agency Compliance
The server complies with the following specifications.

Installation Prerequisites
Before you start the rackmount procedures, ensure that that your site meets the required
electrical and environmental requirements. See “Preparing for Server Installation” on page 13.
Safety Precautions
This section describes safety precautions you must follow when installing the server into a rack.
Installing the Server Into a Rack 39
Page 40
Safety Precautions
Caution - Stabilize rack: Deploy the anti-tilt bar on the equipment rack before starting an
installation.
Caution - Equipment loading: Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that
the rack does not become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack anti-tilt bar to prevent the
rack from tipping during equipment installation.
Caution - Lifting equipment: Oracle Server X7-2 weighs approximately 35 lbs (15.88 kg).
Oracle Server X7-2L weighs 64 lbs (29.03 kg). Two people are needed to mount either server
into the rack enclosure.
Caution - Communicate instructions: When performing a two-person procedure,
communicate your intentions clearly to the other person before, during, and after each step to
minimize confusion.
Caution - Elevated operating ambient temperature: If you install the server in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
might be higher than the room ambient temperature. Install the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified for the server. For server
environmental requirements, see “Environmental Requirements” on page 15.
Caution - Reduced airflow: Install the equipment in a rack so that it does not compromise the
amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment.
Caution - Mechanical loading: Mount the equipment in the rack so that it does not cause a
hazardous condition due to uneven mechanical loading.
Caution - Circuit overloading: Consider the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply
wiring. Also consider the equipment nameplate power ratings used when you address this
concern.
40 Oracle Servers X7-2 and X7-2L Installation Guide • October 2017
Page 41
Caution - Reliable earthing: Maintain reliable earthing of rackmounted equipment. Pay
attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example,
use of power strips).
Caution - Mounted equipment: Do not use slide-rail-mounted equipment as a shelf or a
workspace.
ESD Precautions
Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. To prevent electrostatic
discharge (ESD) when you install or service the server:
■
Use a grounded antistatic wrist strap, foot strap, or equivalent safety equipment
■
Place components on an antistatic surface, such as an antistatic discharge mat or an
antistatic bag
■
Wear an antistatic grounding wrist strap connected to a metal surface on the chassis when
you work on system components
ESD Precautions
Caution - Equipment damage: Electrostatic damage can permanently disable the system or
require repair by authorized service technicians.
Before installing the server, read the safety information in either the Oracle Server X7-2 Safety
and Compliance Guide or the Oracle Server X7-2L Safety and Compliance Guide and in the
Important Safety Information for Oracle's Hardware Systems.
Rack Compatibility
The rack into which you install Oracle Server X7-2 or Oracle Server X7-2L must meet the
requirements listed in the following table. Oracle Rack Cabinet 1242 and Sun Rack II are

X7-2L Back Panel Connectors and Ports
NET MGT Port
The NET MGT port, located on the rear panel, provides an optional Ethernet connection
from Oracle ILOM to the SP. The NET MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100/1000
BASE-T connection. If your network does not use a DHCP server, this port is not available
until you configure network settings through the SER MGT port. See “X7-2 Back Panel
Features” on page 29 or “X7-2L Back Panel Features” on page 32 for more information.
Note - You can configure the host network media for the network ports in Oracle ILOM
or the BIOS options for the BCM network controller. See “Configure the Host Network
Media” on page 77.
Ethernet Ports
The Oracle Server X7-2 has two RJ-45, 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network connectors and
two SFP+ 10/25-Gigabit Ethernet (10/25GbE) network connectors, labeled NET1, NET2 from
left to right on the server back panel. The server can be configured to use either the two RJ-45
ports or the two SFP+ ports. The Oracle Server X7-2L also has one RJ-45, 1-Gigabit Ethernet
(1GbE) network connector, labeled NET0. Use any of these ports to connect the server to the
network.

Configure the Host Network Media
Note - To achieve 10 GbE network speeds, use Category 6 (or better) cables and network
devices that support 1000BASE-T networks.
The LEDs located above each NET port are Link/Activity (left) and Speed (right) indicators for
each port. The following table lists the Ethernet transfer rates and the Speed LED color.
Connection Type IEEE Terminology Speed LED Color Transfer Rate
Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX Off 100 Mbits/sec
Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-T Amber 1,000 Mbits/sec
10 Gigabit Ethernet 10GBASE-T Green 10,000 Mbits/sec
Configure the Host Network Media
The host uses three network ports on the system, one i210 based 1-gigabyte copper port and two
ports attached to the BCM onboard network controller, which uses either two 10-gigabyte RJ45 copper ports or two SFP+/SFP28 cages. Configure the host network media by selecting the
media type for the ports in Oracle ILOM or the BIOS options for the BCM network controller.
Note - If the auto_media_detection option is enabled, and both SFP and RJ-45 ports are plugged
in, the system defaults to the SFP ports, and the RJ-45 ports are not usable.
1.
In Oracle ILOM, change the onboard host network media.
For example, change the enabled SFP28 port to the RJ-45 port.

Prepare to Power On the Server
Prepare to Power On the Server
1.
Choose the preferred way to set up your server network environment.
The instructions in this guide work for any networking environment and require a terminal
device for connecting ther server to the Oracle ILOM SP and to power on the server. You
can establish a physical management connection to Oracle ILOM SP locally using the serial
management port (SER MGT) or remotely using the Ethernet network management port (NET
MGT). To establish a remote connection, see “Log In to Oracle ILOM Using a Remote Ethernet
Connection” on page 86.
2.
Obtain a terminal device to communicate with the SP, which can be a terminal, a
terminal server, or a laptop running terminal emulation software.
3.
Set up the terminal device to use 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
For DTE-to-DTE communication, use an RJ-45 crossover adapter with a standard RJ-45 cable
to set up a null modem configuration so that transmit and receive signals are crossed over.
Logging In to Oracle ILOM and Powering On the Server
You can log in to Oracle ILOM and then power on the server using the management connection
you established for connecting the Oracle ILOM SP.
Log In to Oracle ILOM and Power On the Server
The following procedure explains how to cable the server for the first time to connect to the
Oracle ILOM SP through the serial management (SER MGT) port.
1.
Connect a serial cable between the SER MGT port on the server and the terminal
device.
This connection enables the initial command-line interface (CLI) communication with the
Oracle ILOM SP.
2.
Use the power cords to connect the power supplies to two separate AC power
sources.
The server is equipped with two power supplies. The server can operate with one power source;
however, using only one power source eliminates redundancy.
After you connect the power cords to the server AC inlets and power sources, the following
actions occur:

“Test the IPv4 or IPv6 Network Configuration” on page 90
The servers support dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 settings, which enable Oracle ILOM to fully
operate in an IPv4 or IPv6 network environment.
■
IPv4 configurations – DHCP is enabled by default, allowing a DCHP server on the
network to automatically assign network settings to the service processor.
■
IPv6 configurations – IPv6 stateless auto-configuration is enabled by default, allowing an
IPv6 router on the network to assign the network settings.
In a typical configuration, accept the default settings. However, if you want to modify the
service processor network settings, use the following procedures.
Modify Network Settings
When you use Oracle ILOM to deploy or manage the server, you can optionally modify the
default network settings provided for the service processor (SP).

Use the following guidelines to determine how to configure storage drives.
■
If your server comes with a RAID internal HBA card installed and any amount of HDDs
or SDDs, then the system is shipped with each HDD or SSD as part of its own RAID 0
configuration.

RAID Configuration Requirements
■
To install an OS, ensure that the drive where you want to install the OS is visible to the
system.
■
To install and boot an OS, you need to create a RAID volume on the drive.
■
If you do not want to use a RAID array, configure a drive as a RAID 0 volume.
■
You can use the BIOS RAID configuration utilities to configure RAID on the internal HBA
card. See “Configuring RAID” on page 99.
The following table lists the disk requirements for each supported RAID level:
RAID Level Number of Disks Required
0 1
1 2
5 3
6 4
10 4
50 6
60 8
After you create a bootable RAID volume, install the OS. For details, refer to the operating
system installation guide in http://www.oracle.com/goto/x7-2/docs or http://www.oracle.
com/goto/x7-2l/docs.
RAID Configuration Requirements
Reconfiguring storage drives into RAID volumes is an optional task. Use the BIOS RAID
configuration utilities to configure RAID on the server.
You have the following options for configuring your server storage drives:
■
Option 1 – If you are going to install an operating system and you want to configure
multiple server storage drives into one or more RAID volumes, configure the server storage
drives into RAID volumes before you install the operating system.
■
Option 2 – If you are going to install an OS, but you do not want to configure the server
storage drives into RAID volumes, refer to the OS installation instruction in the Oracle
Servers X7-2 and X7-2L Operating Systems Installation Guide.
For information on creating RAID volumes after installing an operating system, refer to
the Oracle X7 Series Servers Administration Guide at http://www.oracle.com/goto/
x86admindiag/docs.

Configuring RAID
The BIOS RAID configuration utilities support configuring RAID. You can configure RAID
arrays using Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise (RSTe) or the BIOS RAID configuration
Utilities.
Before you can install an OS on a storage device:
■
The storage device must appear as a valid target to the OS installation program.
■
If you want a RAID array, configure the RAID volume before installing the OS.
Caution - Configuring RAID removes the OS and all other data from the target drives.
Configuring RAID
There are two types of RAID:
■
Hardware RAID - An internal Host Bus Adapter (HBA) card manages the array and
presents the volumes to the OS as simple disks. Hardware RAID unburdens the OS and is
more robust than software RAID.
The Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Host Bus Adapter supports hardware RAID.
■
Software RAID - The OS manages the array, which normally must be created and
configured using an OS. In a typical use case, you boot an OS on one device to create a
software RAID volume on a different device.
Configure RAID Using the Avago MegaRAID Configuration Utilities
Before you begin this procedure, create at least one virtual drive, or RAID volume, using the
BIOS Configuration Utility or RSTe.
Perform this procedure to make a RAID volume (virtual drive) bootable if you created more
than one RAID volume. You do not need to perform this procedure if you only created one
virtual drive.

Configure RAID Using the Avago MegaRAID Configuration Utilities
1.
Access the host console locally or through Oracle ILOM.
For instructions, see “Accessing Oracle ILOM” on page 84.
2.
Reset or power on the server.
For example, to reset the server:
■
From the local server, press the Power button on the front panel of the server for
approximately 1 second to power off the server, and then press the Power button again to
power on the server.
■
From the Oracle ILOM web interface, select Host Management → Power Control, and
then select Reset from the Select Action list box. Click Save, and then click OK.
■
From the Oracle ILOM CLI, type: reset /System
The power-on self-test (POST) sequence begins.
3.
On the BIOS Setup Utility screen, select the Advanced tab, select Avago
MegaRAID Configuration Utility, and press Enter.
