Caution – The server weighs about 88 pounds (40 kg) when fully loaded with components. To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury or equipment damage, use a mechanical lift to install
the server into the rack. If a lift is not available, remove components as described in
“How to
Remove Components to Reduce Weight” on page 19
. This reduces the weight of the server to
35 pounds (16 kg).
Caution – Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it does not become
top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s anti-tilt bar to prevent the rack from tipping during
equipment installation.
Before installing the server into a rack, gather the tools, equipment, and sta required.

card that is included with the slide rails and cable management assembly refers
to the rack as a retma (Radio Electronics Television Manufacturers Association) rack.
Slide Rail Kit
The slide rail kit that comes with your server is called the express slide rail or the tool-less slide
rail because it is simpler than older slide rails. It can be used with both square-hole and
round-hole racks. The cable management arm (CMA) might come in a separate box.

rail and a middle section. The middle section
has the ball bearings which slide forward and
backward. Each end of the slide rail has an
attachment assembly.
2 Mountingbracket (2) Attaches to server. The mounting bracket is
also called the inner section because it is
inserted into the middle section of the slide rail.

combination kit.
4 Shipping/hardmount hardware
Note – Ifyou want to secure the server for
shipping now or in the future, use the shipping
hardware. It is not possible to install the
shipping hardware after the slide rails are
installed. It is better to install the shipping
hardware during the slide rail installation.
The slide rail kit comes with the following shipping hardware:

How to Remove Components to ReduceWeight
Caution – Circuit boards and hard drives contain electronic components that are extremely
sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static electricity from clothing or the work
environment can destroy the components located on these devices. Do not touch the
components without antistatic precautions, especially along the connector edges. For more
information, see Antistatic Procedures and Cautions in the
Sun Fire X4600 and Sun Fire X4600
M2 Servers Service Manual
If a lift is not available, remove the followingcomponents to reduce weight:
■
All four power supplies
■
All four fan trays
■
All modules in the CPU bay (CPU modules and ller modules)
This reduces the weight of the server to about 35 pounds (16 kg).

How to Install the Express Slide Rails Onto the Server and the Rack
Installing the slide rails and cable management arm for the rst time takes approximately 45 to
60 minutes.
Note – The express slide rail kit comes with the 4U Express Rail Rackmounting Kit
(http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/820-4079/820-4079.pdf)
card that contains illustrations that you
should refer to during this procedure. It can also be used to block out the 4 unit (4U) space to be
occupied by the server.
Attach the mounting bracketsto the server.
Cach mounting bracket has a at side, which ts against the server chassis. The other side has a
pair of rims that t into the slide rails. Each bracket has 6 key-shaped holes which t over the
pins on the side of the server.
Note – The last (rear-most) hole is not used.
a. Position a bracketso that the green lock leversare at the front of the server and theholes on
the bracket areover the pins on the server.
b. Hang the bracket on the pins.
The middle of the bracket will bow out slightly so that the middle hole does not engage.

c. Press down on the center of the bracket and slide forward.
All 5 pins should lock into place with an audible click.
d. Repeat the abovesteps with the other bracket.
Use the installationcard to determine the 4U space thatwill be occupied by the server.
The slide rails cover the holes on the 2U space on the bottom of the 4U space that is occupied by
the server.
The installation card is designed so that it exactly covers a 4U space in the rack. The lower half
of the card is narrower than the rest, so that the holes used by the slide rails are visible.
(Optional for securing the server and slide railsfor shipping) If you plan to ship the server and
slide rails in placeand you have a rack withsquare holes, place cage nuts in the holesat the top
and the bottom of the 2U slide rail space. It is not possibleto install the cage nuts after the slide
rail is installed.
Tip – Installthe cage nuts if you plan to ship the server in the future.
From behind the rack post, put the bottom tab of the cage nut into the hole and squeeze the top
tab into the hole.
Note – In normal installation, securing is not required. Securing provides extra stability in
special circumstances, such as shipping the server in place, that is, shipping the server mounted
in the rack and then shipping the rack.
Attach the slide railsto the rack.
Each slide rail has an attachment assembly at either end. Each assembly has two pins that t into
the rack holes (either round and square) and a spring that holds the rack rail against the
assembly. The front part of the rail is stamped with the word “FRONT.” The rear part of the rail
is stamped with the word “REAR.”
a. Orient the slide rail with the ball bearing track at the front ofthe rack.
b. Extend the slide rail tothe length of the rack.
c. Slide the front attachmentassembly over the rack’s posts, so that the pinst into the rack
holes. Push theassembly into the rack post until it clicks intoplace.
d. Insert the rear attachment assembly intothe holes of the rack post.

How to Insert the Server Into the Rack
The following procedure explains how to insert the server, with the mounting brackets
attached, into the slide-rail assembly on the rack.
Caution – To reduce the risk of serious personal injury or equipment damage, use a mechanical
lift to install the server into the rack. If a lift is not available, remove components as instructed
in
“How to Remove Components to Reduce Weight” on page 19.
Perform the steps in “How to Install the Express Slide Rails Onto the Server and the Rack” on
page 19
.
Pull the middle sections fromthe outer rails so that the middle sections areextended until they
click and lock into place.
(Two trainedsta) Lift the server by the handles and insert the mounting bracketsattached to
the server into the middle sections untilthe brackets engage with the middle sections.
Note – Make sure that the mounting brackets enter the middle sections, straight on and not at an
angle and that the ball bearing retainer is engaged with the inner sections.
Push the server into therack until the slide rails lock into place.
At this point the server is engaged with the slide rails but is not pushed into the rack fully.
To release the lock on themounting brackets, locate the green plasticrelease tabs (on both left

ManagingYour Server
You have several dierent options for managing your server depending on your situation.
■
Managing many servers
Your server can be managed with a wide variety of system management tools, created both
by Sun and by third parties. For more information on the system management tools, see the
Sun Tools information at:
http://www.sun.com/systemmanagement/managementtools.jsp
Here is a sampling of some of these tools:
■
If your server is one of many Sun x64 and SPARC servers that you want to manage from
a single interface, you can use the Sun xVM Ops Center. For more details, see:
http://www.sun.com/software/products/opscenter
■
If you already have third-party system management tools, Sun servers can integrate with
many third-party tools. For more details, see:
http://www.sun.com/systemmanagement/tools.jsp
■
Managing a single server
■
Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) is an application that you can use for initial server
conguration. SIA helps you to update rmware (ILOM rmware, BIOS, and RAID
controller software) and to automate installation of Linux and Windows operating
systems. For more details, see
Sun Installation Assistant 2.2 User’s Guide for the Sun Fire
X4600/X4600 M2 Server.
■
The Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is built-in software and hardware that you
can use to monitor the status and conguration of your server. For more information,
see the following section:
“Overview of ILOM Software” on page 44
43
Overview of ILOM Software
Sun's Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) provides advanced service processor hardware
and software that you can use to manage and monitor your Sun servers. ILOM's dedicated
hardware and software is preinstalled on a variety of Sun server platforms, including x64-based
Sun Fire servers, Sun Blade modular chassis systems, Sun Blade server modules, as well as on
SPARC-based servers. ILOM is a vital management tool in the data center and can be used to
integrate with other data center management tools already installed on your systems.
Sun is currently transitioning many systems to support ILOM so that customers will have a
single, consistent, and standards-based service processor (SP) across Sun's product lines. For
customers, this means you have:
■
A single, consistent system management interfaces for operators
■
Rich protocol and standards support
■
Third-party management support
■
System management functions integrated into Sun servers at no extra cost
ILOM enables you to actively manage and monitor the server independently of the operating
system state, providing you with a reliable Lights Out Management (LOM) system. With ILOM,
you can proactively:
■
Learn about hardware errors and faults as they occur
■
Remotely control the power state of your server
■
View the graphical and non-graphical consoles for the host
■
View the current status of sensors and indicators on the system
■
Determine the hardware conguration of your system
■
Receive generated alerts about system events in advance via IPMI PETs, SNMP traps, or
email Alerts
The ILOM service processor (SP) runs its own embedded operating system and has a dedicated
Ethernet port, which together provide out-of-band management capability. In addition, you
can access ILOM from the server's host operating system. Using ILOM, you can remotely
manage your server as if you were using a locally attached keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
ILOM automatically initializes as soon as power is applied to your server. It provides a
full-featured, browser-based web interface and has an equivalent command-line interface
(CLI). There is also an industry-standard SNMP interface and IPMI interface.

Sun Fire X4600 and Sun FireX4600 M2 Servers InstallationGuide • January 2010, Rev. A46
About ILOM SP IP Addresses and the ILOM Interfaces
The ILOM SP is assigned a DHCP IP address by default. There are two requirements for DHCP
IP address assignment to occur:
■
Connection to your network must be through a NET MGT port.
■
DHCP services must be present on your network infrastructure.
If a DHCP server cannot be reached after three DHCP requests, the ILOM SP is assigned a static
IP address based on the network management port MAC address. This IP address is always in
the format 192.168.xxx.xxx.
You can choose from one of several ILOM SP interfaces to support system management on
your server. You can access SP rmware applications through the following ILOM SP
interfaces:
■
Serial port command-line interface (CLI) (local access)
■
Secure shell (SSH) CLI (remote access over the network)
■
Web browser user interface (BUI) (remote access over the network)
Determining the SP IP Address
You need to determine the service processor (SP) IP (network) address to use the SP Integrated
Lights Out Manager (ILOM) to manage the server. You can determine the IP address through
either one of these ways:
■

control.
Start a terminal session to capturethe serial port output:
On a client running Solaris OS, type:
$tip -9600 /dev/ttya
On a client running Windows, start a program such as Hyperterminal.
On a client running Linux, start a program such as Minicom, a text-based serial communication
program that is included in the Linux distributions. For more information, see the man pages
included in the Linux distribution.
Log in tothe service processor as anAdministrator, for example:
login: root password: changeme
