1.1 Overviewof the Sun FireV120 and Netra 120 Servers

FIGURE 1-1 The Sun Fire V120 Server

The Sun FireTMV120 and NetraTM120 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

■ UltraSPARC

■ Four DIMM sockets accepting 256 MB or 512 MB PC133 memory modules (giving

IIe+ 550 or 650 MHz processor

a maximum of 2 GB of memory)

■ One 33-MHz, 32-bit, 5V PCI card slot

■ Two 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports

■ Console/Lights-Out Management (LOM) RJ-45 serial port

1-2 Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 Server User’s Guide • December 2001

■ Second RJ-45 serial port

■ Optional DVD or CD-ROM drive

■ Support for up to two low-profile, 3.5-inch Fast-40 (Ultra2SCSI) disks

■ Support for up to two USB connections

■ External Fast-40 (Ultra2SCSI) Multimode 68-pin port

These servers are designed to be rackmounted. Their components are housed in a casing with the following dimensions:

■ Height: 1.72 inches (43.6 mm)

■ Width: 17.2 inches (436.7 mm)

■ Depth: 18.8 inches (478 mm)

■ Weight (when all option modules are installed): 10 kg (22 lb)

1.9 Choosing Between a Rack and a Cabinet

You can install the Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 server in either a rack or a cabinet. Factors that might influence your decision include:

■ Security

If other people have access to the room in which your server is located, you can increase security by locking the server in a cabinet.

■ Thermal issues

Cabinets often require additional fans, because the servers you install in them are generating heat in an enclosed space. Two-post racks, however, might require no special cooling systems.

■ Flooring

Two-post telco relay racks are designed so that cables can be run overhead. Cabinets often require cables to be run under the floor.

What’s Next?

When you have read this chapter, go to Chapter 2 to find out how to estimate the power and cooling requirements for your server.

CHAPTER

Power and Cooling

This chapter contains information about the power consumption of the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 servers. It also tells you how to estimate the amount of heat that your cooling system must dissipate.

The chapter contains the following sections:

■ Section 2.1, “Operating Power Limits and Ranges” on page 2-2

■ Section 2.2, “Power Consumption” on page 2-3

■ Section 2.3, “Estimating Heat Dissipation” on page 2-4

Note – The power supply on the Sun Fire V120 server continues to regulate all

outputs for at least 20 milliseconds after AC power is removed. On the Netra 120 server, the power supply continues to regulate all outputs for at least 4.5 milliseconds after DC power is removed.

Note – Standby power is available whenever input power is connected.

2.2 Power Consumption

To estimate the total power consumption for several Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 servers installed in a single rack or cabinet, add together the individual power requirement figures for each of the systems that you have installed (see

TABLE2-2 Power Consumption for the Available Configurations of the Server

TABLE 2-2).

Chapter 2 Power and Cooling 2-3

2.3 Estimating Heat Dissipation

To estimate the amount of heat generated by a Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 server so that you can estimate the heat your cooling system must dissipate (see Section 2.2, “Power Consumption” on page 2-3), convert the figure for the server’s power consumption from watts to BTU per hour.

A general formula for doing this is to multiply the figure for the power consumption by 3.415. For example, the heat that must be dissipated for a Sun Fire V120 server containing a 650 MHz processor, a single 36 GB hard disk drive, and a single 512 MB DIMM is:

58 x 3.415 = 198.07 BTU/hr You can install up to 32 Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 servers into a Sun StorEdge 72-

inch rack. To estimate the heat your cooling system must dissipate, add together the nominal power consumption for each server in the rack, then multiply the result by

3.415. For example, 30 servers each containing a 650 MHz processor, containing a single 36 GB hard disk and a single 512 MB DIMM will generate the following amount of heat:

(30 x 58 W) x 3.415 = 5942.10 BTU/hr

What’s Next?

When you have used this chapter to estimate the power and cooling requirements for your server, go to Chapter 3, which tells you how to assemble the DC input power cables for the Netra 120 server; or if you are installing a Sun Fire V120 server, go straight to Chapter 4 to find out how to install the optional hardware components available for both servers.

5.1.4 Tips for Using a Sun StorEdge 72-inch Rack

■ For maximum stability, fill the rack from the bottom up and leave at least 4U of

space free at the top.

■ To prevent warm air flowing to the front of the rack and being recirculated (which

would reduce the efficiency of your cooling system and potentially cause overheating), close off the empty spaces at the top of the rack with filler panels. The following filler panels are available from your local Sun sales representative:

■ 1U (part number: 330-2610-01)

■ 2U (part number: 330-2611-01)

■ 3U (part number: 330-2613-01)

■ 4U (part number: 330-2614-01)

■ 5U (part number: 330-2615-01)

■ Position your racks so that the warm air exhaust from one rack does not flow

directly into the cool air intake area for another.

■ If space is limited at the back of your Sun StorEdge 72-inch rack, install a

redundant fan tray (part number: X9819A) into the top of the rack. This pulls air up through the top of the rack to prevent the build-up of heat behind it.

CHAPTER

Connecting the Cables

This chapter describes how to connect the power cables and the Ethernet and serial cables to the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 servers. It also tells you how to set up the serial connections you need.

Make sure you have installed the server into a rack or cabinet (see Chapter 5) before following the instructions in this chapter.

This chapter contains the following sections:

■ Section 6.1, “Connecting the Cables to the Server” on page 6-2

■ Section 6.2, “Using a Single DC Power Cord” on page 6-4

■ Section 6.3, “Setting Up Serial Connections” on page 6-4

6-2 Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 Server User’s Guide • December 2001

Before following the instructions in this section, make sure you have installed the server into a rack or cabinet (see Chapter 5).

1. Connect the power cord or cords.

2. Connect the server to at least one Ethernet hub.

You can connect to a maximum of two Ethernet hubs (unless you have a PCI adapter installed).

3. Connect a serial device to the Serial A/LOM port.

To use the server’s remote monitoring and management facilities, you must use the port labeled Serial A/LOM. For more information about remote monitoring and management, see Chapter 8 and Chapter 9.

If you intend to configure the server directly from a dumb terminal or a Sun workstation, insert the loose end of the serial cable into the DB-25 adapter supplied (see

FIGURE 6-1 and FIGURE 6-2). Then plug the adapter into the DB-25 serial

connector on the terminal or Sun workstation you intend to use. For more information, see Section 6.3, “Setting Up Serial Connections” on page 6-4.

4. If you need to connect the server to an external SCSI device, you will need to use the SCSI cable supplied with that device.

The server’s external SCSI bus is compatible with SCSI devices of the following types:

■ Single Ended (SE)

■ Low Voltage Differential (LVD)

■ Narrow (8-bit)

■ Wide (16-bit)

Caution – AC-powered Sun products are designed to work with single-phase

power systems that have a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not plug Sun products into any other type of power system. Contact your facilities manager or a qualified electrician if you are not sure what type of power is supplied to your building.

Caution – Your AC-powered Sun product is shipped with a grounding type (three-

wire) power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, always plug the cord into a grounded outlet.

Chapter 6 Connecting the Cables 6-3

6.2 Using a Single DC Power Cord

If you are using a Netra 120 server and you have only one DC power cord connected to the server, the LOM generates a power-on event, but it also generates an inlet failure event and causes the fault indicator to be lit and to remain lit.

Similarly, if you remove a single DC power cord from a Netra 120 server that is powered on, the LOM generates an inlet failure event and causes the fault indicator to be lit and to remain lit.

If you intend to run the Netra 120 server using only one DC supply cord, then ignore these inlet failure events and turn off the fault indicator by typing:

lom> faultoff

6.3 Setting Up Serial Connections

To perform the initial configuration when you install a Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 server, and also for ongoing monitoring and management of the server, you will need to use at least one of the serial ports on the server’s back panel. You can connect either or both serial ports to any of the following devices:

■ Dumb terminal

For this connection, you can use the standard RJ-45 patch cable supplied with the server, but you need to insert one end into the DB-25 adapter also supplied.

■ Sun workstation

For this connection, you can use the standard RJ-45 patch cable supplied with the server, but you need to insert one end into the DB-25 adapter also supplied.

■ Terminal server (or patch panel connected to a terminal server)

The pinouts for the server ’s serial ports correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45 ports on the Cisco AS2511-RJ Terminal Server. For terminal servers from other manufacturers, you may need to make your own roll-over cable (see Section 6.3.1, “Connecting to a Terminal Server” on page 6-5).

■ Modem

For this connection, you can use the standard RJ-45 patch cable supplied with the server, but you need to insert one end into the DB-25 adapter also supplied.

6-4 Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 Server User’s Guide • December 2001

Note – Do not use the Serial A/LOM port for binary data transfers. To perform

anything other than ASCII transfers, use the port labeled Serial B.

6.3.1 Connecting to a Terminal Server

The serial ports on the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 servers are DTE ports. If you are connecting them to other DTE ports, then the cabling between the devices you are connecting needs to take account of this. The pinouts for the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 servers’ serial ports correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45 ports on Cisco terminal servers. This means, for example, that if you are using a Cisco AS2511-RJ Terminal Server, you can do either of the following:

■ Connect a roll-over cable directly to the Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 server.

■ Connect a roll-over cable to a patch panel and use a straight-through patch cable

to connect the patch panel to the Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 server (see

FIGURE 6-3).

Note – You do not have to use a Cisco terminal server. For other terminal servers,

check the manufacturer’s documentation to see if the pinouts of the serial ports on the terminal server match the pinouts of the Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 server’s serial ports. If they do not, then write down which pins on the terminal server’s serial ports carry the signals listed in the right-hand column in a roll-over cable taking each of the pins on the Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 server’s serial port to the correct pin on your terminal server’s serial port.

6.3.2 Using a DB-25 Adapter for Your Serial Link

The pinouts are identical for both of the RJ-45 serial ports on the rear panel of your server. To connect from a VT100 terminal, you need to use either the DB-25 (25-Pin DSUB male to 8-POS RJ-45 female) adapter supplied by Sun (part number 530-2889) with your server or an alternative adapter that performs the same pin interconnections. The Sun-supplied DB-25 adapter enables you to connect to any Sun system. The pin inter-connections it performs are listed in

The chapter contains the following sections:

■ Section 7.1, “Preparing to Configure the Server” on page 7-2

■ Section 7.2, “Powering On the Server” on page 7-3

■ Section 7.3, “Using the Power (On/Standby) Switch” on page 7-7

7-1

7.1 Preparing to Configure the Server

To perform the initial configuration of the Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 server, set up a serial connection using the port labeled Serial A/LOM on the server’s back panel (see Chapter 6). Make sure you have the server’s power cord(s) connected (see Chapter 6).

7.1.1 Using a Terminal Server

● To access the Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 server from a Sun workstation through a

terminal server, open a terminal session on the Sun workstation and type:

# telnet IP-address-of-terminal-server port-number

For example, for a Sun Fire V120 server connected to port 10000 on a terminal server whose IP address is 192.20.30.10, you would type:

# telnet 192.20.30.10 10000

7.1.2 Configuring From a Terminal or Workstation

● To access the server from a dumb terminal, set up a connection between the

terminal and the server.

● To access the server from a Sun workstation that is directly connected to the

server, set up the connections between the devices, then open a terminal session and type:

9. If prompted, specify the IP address for the system.

The system prompts you for this address if you declined to use DHCP in Step 6. It also asks you whether the server is to be part of a subnet, and if you answer Yes it prompts you to provide the netmask of the subnet.

10. Specify whether you need IPv6 enabled, then follow the instructions on the screen.

11. Specify whether you want to to enable the Kerberos Security mechanism, then follow the instructions on the screen.

12. Specify the Name Service you want the server to use.

13. Specify the name of the Domain that the server will be part of.

14. Specify whether you want the system to search the network for a Name Server or to use a particular Name Server.

15. If you chose to use a particular Name Server, specify the Host Name and IP address of the Name Server, and then confirm the information you have provided.

16. Now go to the Name Server, and create entries in its network administration files for the system you have just been setting up.

17. When you come back to the system you are setting up, you will be prompted for the time and date information the system needs.

18. Finally, when prompted, give a password (if any) for users logging in as root.

When you have provided the information the system needs, it will boot.

7.2.3 Powering On a Standalone Server for the First Time

1. Connect the server to the power supply but do not power it on.

2. Set up a serial connection using the Serial A/LOM port (as described in Chapter 6).

3. At the lom> prompt, type the following command to power on the server:

7.2.4 Clearing Your Configuration and Starting Again

If you need to clear the configuration of the server so that you can start the power on process again as if from a previously unused server, follow the instructions below:

1. Boot the server into Solaris by typing:

ok boot

2. At the Solaris prompt, type:

# sys-unconfig

3. When prompted to confirm that you want to create a “blank” server, type y.

4. When the server has unconfigured itself, it displays the ok prompt.

To reconfigure it, first power down the system by typing the following:

ok power-off

5. Then follow the instructions in either of the following sections:

■ Section 7.2.1, “Powering On for the First Time With the Server ’s Details

Registered at a Name Server” on page 7-3 or

7.3 Using the Power (On/Standby) Switch

Caution – The power switch (on the rear panel of the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120

servers) is not an On/Off switch, it is an On/Standby switch. It does not isolate the equipment.

The power (On/Standby) switch on the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 servers is a rocker, momentary switch. It controls only low voltage signals; no high-voltage circuits pass through it. This means that the main method of connecting or disconnecting power is by inserting or removing the power supply cord(s). The server contains no integral circuit breakers. To isolate it, you must break all connections to it. If you do not do this by removing the power supply cord(s), you must instead open all external circuit breakers.
