CHAPTER

Preparing for Installation

This chapter includes a description of the components of the Sun Fire V440 server, a list of documents on the Documentation CD, and a set of questions that the system administrator must answer before installing the server software.

This chapter contains the following sections:

■ “About the Parts Shipped to You” on page 1

■ “Verify All Parts” on page 2

■ “Transfer Online Documentation” on page 3

■ “Plan the Installation” on page 3

About the Parts Shipped to You

Standard components of Sun Fire V440 servers are installed at the factory. However, if you ordered options such as a PCI card and monitor, these will be shipped to you separately.

In addition, you should have received the Solaris™ Media Kit and documentation for all appropriate system software.

Check that you have received everything you ordered.

Note – Inspect the shipping carton for evidence of physical damage. If a shipping

carton is damaged, request that the carrier’s agent be present when the carton is opened. Keep all contents and packing material for the agent’s inspection.

Verify All Parts

● Verify that you have received all the parts of your system.

See the illustration below to identify most of the parts shipped with the system. (Not shown in the illustration is the RJ-45/DB-9 adapter, which is also shipped with the system.)

Transfer Online Documentation

The Sun Fire V440 Server Documentation CD is included in the ship kit. See the booklet included with the CD for instructions on transferring the documentation to disk or viewing the documentation directly from the CD.

In addition to this guide, the following documents are included on the Sun Fire V440 Server Documentation CD:

■ Sun Fire V440 Server Safety Information

■ Sun Fire V440 Server Product Notes

■ Sun Fire V440 Server Using Online Documentation

■ Sun Fire V440 Server Administration Guide

■ Sun Fire V440 Server Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide

■ Sun Fire V440 Server Parts Installation and Removal Guide

■ Sun Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) 1.1 Online Help

■ Sun Fire V440 Server 2-Post Rackmounting Guide

■ Sun Fire V440 Server Safety and Compliance Guide

Plan the Installation

The Sun Fire V440 server is a general-purpose server. How you set up your server depends on what you want it to do.

This set of installation procedures is intended to be as “generic” as possible, to accommodate the variety of uses to which you can apply the server. Even so, you need to make certain decisions to complete the procedures. If you need background information to help you answer the following two questions, see the Sun Fire V440 Server Administration Guide.

■ On which network or networks do you intend to operate the server?

You need to provide specific networking information about the server when you install the Solaris operating environment.

■ How do you want to use and configure the server’s internal disks?

■ What software do you intend to load?

Software included in the Solaris Media Kit or other software products can impose certain disk space or disk partitioning requirements. Refer to the documentation accompanying the Solaris software to determine those requirements.

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation 3

Note – Be sure to use a supported version of the Solaris operating environment. See

the Sun Fire V440 Server Product Notes for more information.

What Next

Install the server into a cabinet, following instructions in Chapter 2.

CHAPTER

Installing a Sun Fire V440 Server Into a 4-Post Cabinet

This chapter shows you how to install a Sun Fire V440 server into a 4-post Sun™ StorEdge Expansion Cabinet or other Electronic Industries Association (EIA)-compliant 19-inch (48.26-cm) wide rack. If you are installing a Sun Fire V440 server into a 2-post rack, refer to the 2-post rackmounting instructions that are included on the Documentation CD in the Ship kit.

Note – To install a server into an EIA-compliant 19-inch wide rack with mounting

holes sized for U.S. dimension screws, use 10-32 screws and 8-32 screws to attach the slide assemblies to the rack. The rackmounting kit includes 8-32 and 10-32 screws and washers.

To install a server into an EIA-compliant 19-inch wide rack with mounting holes sized for metric dimension screws, use M4 or M6 screws—depending on your rack model—to attach the slide assemblies to the rack. The rackmounting kit includes M4 and M6 screws and washers.

The service label on the top cover of the server illustrates the rackmounting steps in a convenient graphical overview. However, the instructions in this guide are more detailed.

This chapter contains the following procedures and information:

■ “Checklist of 4-Post Rackmounting Tasks” on page 6

■ “Inventory for 4-Post Rackmounting” on page 7

■ “Tools Required for Rackmounting” on page 8

■ “Attach the Inner Glides to the Chassis” on page 9

Any screws not used for rackmounting are spares.

Note – Bar nuts are required (but not included) for non-threaded cabinets. See the

instructions provided with your cabinet for more information.

Tools Required for Rackmounting

■ Phillips No. 2 screwdriver (Use to tighten 10-32 and M6 screws.)

■ Set of appropriate Allen wrenches to remove the side panels on some cabinets

■ Adjustable wrench to tighten the nuts on the mounting brackets

8 Sun Fire V440 Server Installation Guide • July 2003

Attach the Inner Glides to the Chassis

● Attach the inner glides to the chassis using four M4 screws for each inner glide.

Position the straight end of each inner glide toward the front of the server. Align the second hole on the inner glide with the first hole on the chassis.

Chapter 2 Installing a Sun Fire V440 Server Into a 4-Post Cabinet 9

Prepare the Cabinet

1. Open and remove, if applicable, the front and back doors of the cabinet.

See the instructions provided with your cabinet.

2. Stabilize the cabinet by extending its anti-tip legs or bolting the cabinet securely to the floor.

See the instructions provided with your cabinet and read “4-Post Cabinet Requirements” on page 52.

The following illustration shows two anti-tip legs. Note that some cabinets have only one such leg.

3. Remove the side panels from the cabinet, if applicable.

See the instructions provided with your cabinet. Removing the side panels can improve access to the areas where you will install nuts and screws when securing the server in the cabinet.

10 Sun Fire V440 Server Installation Guide • July 2003

Locate the Mounting Holes

● Locate and mark the rack rail holes that you will use to attach each slide assembly.

You can either count the holes on the vertical rack rails or use the Rack Alignment template included with your documentation set. Make sure that each slide assembly is installed at the same height front-to-back and side-to-side in the rack.

The Rack Alignment template is four rack units (7.00 inch/17.78 cm) tall. You use the Rack Alignment template to ensure that the server is correctly placed within standard rack unit spacing, in which the top of the system is defined to be midway between a set of holes separated by 0.5 inch (1.27 cm).

One side of the Rack Alignment template is for 4-post rackmounting and the other is for 2-post rackmounting. For 2-post rackmounting instructions, refer to the Sun Fire V440 Server 2-Post Rackmounting Guide included on your Documentation CD.

The 4-post mounting holes on the Rack Alignment template are for mounting the slide assembly brackets to the vertical rack rails. The upper and lower retainer screw openings in the template locate the chassis bracket screws that secure the server in the rack after the server is installed.

The following figure shows both sides of the Rack Alignment template.
