1. Turn on power to the monitor and to all external devices.

2. Press the power switch on the front panel and release it (see

FIGURE 2).

3. After several seconds, verify that the power indicator LED on the power switch is
lit and listen to verify that the system fans are spinning.

■ The power indicator LED on the power switch lights after the system begins the

internal booting process. If you experience problems during power on, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 47.

Note – The first time that you power on the system, an illustration of your Sun

™

Blade

system should be displayed. This illustration is only displayed on the first

power on sequence.

Helpful Hint – After you power on the system for the first time, you are ready to set

the ports with a software command, as follows:

1. Halt the system to display the system ok prompt.

2. Type one of the following, depending on which port you are setting:

■ To set the serial port A mode, type:

setenv ttya-mode 9600,8,n,1,-,mode

■ To set the serial port B mode, type:

setenv ttyb-mode 9600,8,n,1,-,mode

where mode is either rs232 or rs423.

3. Type

reset-all to make the new mode operational on your system.

Note – If you set the mode of only one of the serial ports, both ports are set to the

mode of this single port.

Restoring the Preinstalled Software

Your system comes preconfigured with the Solaris operating environment and other
preinstalled software. However, if you should replace your hard drive for any
reason, the replacement drive does not come preconfigured with the Solaris
operating environment or the other preinstalled software.

Therefore, you should make and keep a full backup of the operating environment,
which can be used to restore your system if it is ever needed. Instructions for
backing up your operating environment are included in the preinstalled Solaris
System Administration Guide AnswerBook2.

You can also restore some of the software that is preinstalled on your disk from the
CDs included in the appropriate version of the Solaris Media Kit. This media kit
contains some of the same software that is preinstalled on your system, with the
exception of the Java software. However, you can download these products from the
web sites listed in their respective sections in this document (also note that some
software products, such as Netscape, offer different versions than those in the media
kit, from their respective web sites).

To restore your hard drive from the Solaris Media Kit CDs, take the following steps:

1. Get the backup media, the Solaris Media Kit.

You might already have this kit if you ordered it with your system. If you did not
order the kit with your system, contact your Sun sales representative and ask to
order the Solaris Media Kit for your language and Solaris version.

2. Follow the installation instructions in the Start Here document that comes with
the kit.

You can install the Solaris operating environment and as much of the additional
software as you want.

3. To restore the system hardware documentation, reinstall it from the Sun Blade
1000 and Sun Blade 2000 Hardware Documentation CD (705-0073) that is included
with your system.

Use the instructions in the CD insert document Sun Blade 1000 and Sun Blade 2000
Hardware Documentation (818-0073).

Getting Started With the Sun Blade 1000 and Sun Blade 2000 Systems 43

About UltraSPARC III and UltraSPARC III Cu
CPU Modules

The UltraSPARC III and UltraSPARC III Cu CPU modules are high-performance,
highly-integrated superscalar processors, implementing the SPARC-V9 64-bit
reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architecture. Both types of CPU modules
have been updated and improved to further advance reliability, availability,
scalability, and serviceability features.

The workstation motherboard provides slots for two CPU modules.

Note – Never mix an UltraSPARC III 600, 750, or 900 MHz CPU module with an

UltraSPARC III Cu CPU module. If the modules are mixed, the workstation will not
boot.

Each processor module includes one CPU chip with an integrated memory cache for
data and instructions, as well as up to 8 Mbytes of external static random access
memory (SRAM) cache memory.

The CPU modules communicate with the main memory and I/O subsystem via the
high-speed data bus. The CPU modules are automatically synchronized with the
system bus that runs at the appropriate clock speeds.

Configuration Rules

■ You can install one or two CPU modules into the workstation motherboard.

■ Always insert the first CPU module into CPU (processor) slot 0 (connectors J0501

and J0601).

■ Install the second CPU module into CPU (processor) slot 1 (connectors J0701 and

J0801).

■ You can install more than one UltraSPARC III 600, 750, or 900 MHz CPU module.

These modules do not need to be identical speeds.

■ You can install more than one UltraSPARC III Cu CPU module. However, these

modules must be identical speeds.

44 Sun Blade 1000 and Sun Blade 2000 Getting Started Guide • January 2002

CPU Module Positions in the Workstation

The CPU modules are enclosed in a cooling shroud and secured to the shroud with
captive screws that must be torqued to specific values.

Caution – CPU processor slot 0 is the required position for all workstations that

contain only one CPU. The slot positions of the two CPU modules are shown in

FIGURE 17.

Your workstation will only contain one torque indicator tool, either torque tool A, or
torque tool B. The CPU installation guides describe how to use each tool for each
