Power and Reset
This section contains information about power modes and procedures for powering on and o the server module:
“Power Modes” on page 19
“Power Button and Power OK LED” on page 20
“Powering On and O the Server Module” on page 22
Power Modes
The Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server module has two power modes, full power mode and standby power mode.
Full power mode is the normal operational mode for the server. When the server enters full power mode, power is supplied to all the server components, the server boots, and the operating system (OS) functions. You achieve full power mode by pressing the Power button on the front of the server when the server is in standby power mode. Once the server is operating in full power mode the Power OK LED is on continuously (does not blink).
Standby power mode is the non-operating mode. That is, the server is in a low-power or powered-down state and is not capable of booting and starting the OS. In standby power mode, minimum power is supplied only to the components that are required for lights-out management. You achieve standby power by connecting the server to an AC supply. In standby power mode, power is supplied to the service processor (SP), which allows the SP to boot. To sustain standby power mode, you must not press the front panel Power button. You can also achieve standby power mode by powering o the server (from an operational mode) using one of the power-o methods. When the server is in standby power mode, the Power OK LED on the front panel blinks.

Power Button and Power OK LED
The Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server Module has two nodes. Each node has its own indicator panel on the front of the server module. The indicator panel shows the status of the node and can be used to power on and o the nodes. The state of the Power/OK LED indicates the power mode . The power button is used to power on the server module from standby mode to full power mode and to power o the server from full power mode to standby power mode.
Note – To remove power from the server module, you must disconnect the server module from
the chassis mid-plane.

Using the DIMM and CPU On-Board Test Circuitry
When DIMMs or CPUs have a fault, the system lights the front panel Service Action Required LED. The LED indicates that immediate service action is required. To address the issue, the server must be powered down and removed from the chassis, so you can use the internal on-board test circuitry to identify the failed component.
The test circuitry is a charged circuit that has a time-limited window of usability (30–60 minutes). When the Fault Remind button is pressed, a Charge Status LED lights if the circuit is usable. If too much time has elapsed between removing the server module and using the test circuit, the charge can drain completely. If this happens, the circuit becomes unusable (and the LED turns o). When the test circuit is drained, the error information is lost. For the circuitry to become usable again, the server module must be installed in the chassis, and the error must occur again.
Tip – When diagnosing DIMM and CPU errors, the best practice is to remove the server module
from the server and use the test circuitry as soon as possible.
For information about how to identify faulty DIMMs or CPUs using the on-board fault test circuits, see the following procedures:
“How to Identify Faulty DIMMs” on page 40
“How to Identify a Faulty CPU” on page 59
Using the Multi-Port Cable
The multi-port cable provides a single multiple-interface access point to the server module. Using the multi-port cable, you can work locally at the server and attach USB, serial, and video devices directly to the server module.
Caution – Possible damage to the cable, server module, or chassis. Disconnect the multi-port
dongle cable when you are nished using the cable. Otherwise, the cable, server module, or chassis can be damaged when the chassis door is closed or the cable is abruptly pulled.

How to Recover the SP Firmware Using the Preboot Menu
The preboot menu provides the ability to recover the ILOM rmware image by updating (ashing) the SP rmware.
Note – You can also update the SP using the ILOM CLI or the web interface (refer to the Oracle
Integrated Lights Out Manager documentation).
You must have a valid .flash rmware image le on a TFTP server. This le is available on the tools and drivers DVD, and on the Oracle download site:
http://www.sun.com/servers/blades/downloads.jsp
Note – Updating the SP rmware using the preboot menu requires a .flash le instead of the
.pkg le used to update the SP from the ILOM.
Restart the SP.
Refer to the corresponding ILOM supplement for detailed preboot menu and ILOM information.
Interrupt the SP boot processto access the preboot menu. Chooseone of the following methods:
Press the Locate button.
Type xyzzy during a pause in the bootstrap process.
The preboot prompt appears.
Preboot>
At the preboot prompt, enter the command:
net flash IPaddress path/name.flash
where IPaddress is the IP address of a TFTP server, path is the path to the le relative to /tftpboot, and name is the rst part of the .flash le lename
For example:
Preboot>
net flash 10.8.173.25 images/system-rom.flash

BIOS Power-On Self-Test (POST) Codes
The system BIOS provides a basic power-on self-test (POST), during which the BIOS checks the basic devices required for the server to operate. The progress of the self-test is indicated by a series of POST codes. This section explains the BIOS POST testing, provides an alternate method for viewing the codes, describes how to change POST options, and lists the POST codes.
“About POST” on page 84
“How BIOS POST Memory Testing Works” on page 84
“Viewing POST Codes Using ILOM” on page 85
“How to Change the POST Options” on page 86
“POST Codes” on page 87
About POST
When the server module is powered on or booted, it goes through a series of hardware tests called Power-On Self Tests (POST). As the POST executes, enters, and exits the various hardware tests (memory, ports, etc.) it generates a series of four-digit hexadecimal codes that you can read at the bottom right corner of the system’s VGA screen (the POST needs to advance past the video initialization). In general, the POST codes change so rapidly that it is dicult to use them as a diagnostic tool. However, when the server encounters a problem, it stops the boot process and displays the last code. You can reference the code against the listing at
Table 2.
An alternate method of displaying POST codes is to redirect the output of the console to a serial port (see
“Viewing POST Codes Using ILOM” on page 85).
How BIOS POST Memory Testing Works
The BIOS POST memory testing is performed as follows:
1. The rst megabyte of DRAM is tested by the BIOS before the BIOS code is shadowed (that is, copied from ROM to DRAM).
2. Once executing out of DRAM, the BIOS performs a simple memory test (a write/read of every location with the pattern 55aa55aa).
4
BIOS Power-On Self-Test (POST) Codes
Sun Blade X6275 M2 ServerModule Service Manual • March,201384
Note – This memory test is performed only if Quick Boot is not enabled from the Boot
Settings Conguration screen. Enabling Quick Boot causes the BIOS to skip the memory test. See
“How to Change the POST Options” on page 86 for more information.
3. The BIOS polls the memory controllers for both correctable and non-correctable memory errors and logs those errors into the SP.
4. The message BMC Responding appears at the end of POST.
Viewing POST Codes Using ILOM
You can view the BIOS POST codes remotely using the web interface or the CLI.
“How to View BIOS POST Codes Using the Web Interface” on page 85
“How to View BIOS POST Codes Using the CLI” on page 86
How to View BIOS POST Codes Using theWeb Interface
Open a browserand use the node SP’s IP address as the URL.

POST Codes
The table below contains descriptions of each of the POST codes, listed in the same order in which they are generated. These POST codes appear at the bottom right of the BIOS screen as a four-digit string that is a combination of two-digit output from primary I/O port 80 and two-digit output from secondary I/O port 81. In the POST codes listed below, the rst two digits are from port 81 and the last two digits are from port 80.
You can see some of the POST codes from primary I/O port 80 on LEDs inside the front panel of your server node (see
“POST Code LEDs” on page 70).
The Response column describes the action taken by the system on encountering the corresponding error. The actions are:
Warning or Not an Error: The message appears on the screen. An error record is logged to the system event log (SEL) for a hardware component. The system continues booting with a degraded state. The user might want to replace the component.
Pause: The message appears on the screen, an error is logged to the SEL, and user input is required to continue. The user can take immediate corrective action or choose to continue booting.
Halt: The message appears on the screen, an error is logged to the SEL, and the system cannot boot unless the error is resolved. The user needs to replace the faulty part and restart the system.

About the BIOS Setup Utility
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) has a utility stored in the BIOS ash memory called the BIOS Setup Utility. The BIOS Setup Utility reports system information and allows user customization of the server BIOS settings. The customized BIOS settings are stored in the system’s battery-backed CMOS RAM. If the battery fails, causing the loss of customized settings, the BIOS settings default to the original state specied at the factory.
You can access BIOS Setup Utility locally using the multi-port cable and one of the following congurations:
USB keyboard and mouse and a VGA monitor.
A serial terminal emulator connected to the USB port.
Note – For information about using the multi-port cable, see “Using the Multi-Port Cable” on
