xvi Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 Server User’s Guide • December 2001

Preface

The Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 Server User’s Guide describes how to install, manage, and maintain the Sun FireTM V120 and NetraTM 120 servers. The manual is intended for system administrators who have experience in setting up networked SolarisTM servers.

How This Book Is Organized

Part I Installation and Configuration

Chapter 1 introduces the Sun FireTM V120 and NetraTM 120 servers, lists the customer-installable hardware and software components available for them, and identifies the main features of the servers’ front and back panels.

Chapter 2 provides information about the power and cooling requirements for the Sun FireTM V120 and NetraTM 120 servers.

Chapter 3 describes how to assemble the DC input power cable.

Chapter 4 describes how to install optional (hot-pluggable) Hard Disk Drives and also how to open the server, identify its components, and install memory DIMMs, a PCI expansion card, or a DVD or CD-ROM drive.

Chapter 5 describes how to install the server into different types of racks.

Chapter 6 describes how to connect the cables and set up serial connections to the server.

Chapter 7 describes how to perform the initial power-on and configuration of the server.

xvii

Part II Remote and Local Management

Chapter 8 describes how to use the Lights-Out Management (LOM) shell to power the server on and off or reset it remotely. It also describes how to use this shell to view status information about the server’s fans, power supply, supply rails, operating temperature, and internal circuit breakers.

Chapter 9 describes how to use the LOM-specific Solaris commands to monitor and manage the system. This chapter also explains how to configure the LOM device to restart the server automatically after a system lockup.

Part III Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Chapter 10 lists some problems that you might encounter while setting up or using the server and tells you how to solve them. It also describes the server’s LEDs.

Chapter 11 lists the field-replaceable units (FRUs) that you can order for your server and tells you how to install them.

Part IV Appendixes

Appendix A tells you how to install and remove Hard Disk Drives from the server without shutting the operating system down.

Appendix B provides information on re-installing Solaris and the Lights-Out Management (LOM) software.

Appendix C describes the parameters you can configure in the LOM driver configuration file.

Appendix D provides the locations and the factory default settings of the jumpers on the system board.

Using Solaris Commands

This document does not contain information on basic Solaris commands and procedures such as shutting down the system, booting the system, and configuring devices.

Introduction

This chapter lists the features of the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 servers, the contents of the ship kit, and the optional hardware and software that is available for them. It also describes the front and back panels, lists the tools you will need to use to install a server, and describes the servers’ tolerance of, or suitability for, various environmental conditions. Finally, the chapter offers some guidance to help you decide whether to mount the system in a rack or a cabinet.

The chapter contains the following sections:

1.1Overview of the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 Servers

FIGURE 1-1 The Sun Fire V120 Server

The Sun FireTM V120 and NetraTM 120 servers are single-processor, thin (1U) servers designed primarily for use by telecommunications carriers and internet service providers. They are also suitable for use within corporate customer networks, wherever there is a need to maximize the density of high-performance Solaris servers.

The Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 servers are identical except that the Sun Fire V120 is powered by an AC supply and the Netra 120 by –48VDC/–60VDC supplies. This is the only difference between the two models.

The servers both have the following features:

■Rackmounting enclosure with single power supply

■UltraSPARCTM IIe+ 550 or 650 MHz processor
