Powering On and Configuring BIOS Settings

This chapter contains the following procedures and information:

■ “Powering On the Server” on page 12

■ “Powering Off the Server” on page 14

■ “Configuring BIOS Settings” on page 15

■ “Resetting ILOM and BIOS Passwords” on page 20

■ “Using the Clear CMOS Jumper” on page 22

■ “Using the Reset and NMI Switches” on page 23

■ “Updating the BIOS” on page 24

Powering On the Server

Note – Before powering on your server for the first time, follow the installation and

cabling instructions provided in the Netra X4200 M2 Server Setup Guide, which is online at the URL described in “Related Documentation” on page xii.

Caution – Do not operate the server without all fans, component heatsinks, air

baffles, and covers installed. Severe damage to server components can occur if the server is operated without adequate cooling mechanisms.

1. Verify that input (AC/DC) power cords have been connected to the server's power supplies and that standby power is on.

In standby power mode, the Power/OK LED on the front panel flashes, indicating that the service processor is working and the system is ready to be fully powered on to main power mode. See

2. Use a ballpoint pen or other stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the server front panel. See

When main power is applied to the entire server, the Power/OK LED next to the Power button lights and remains lit.

FIGURE 2-1 for the LED location.

FIGURE 2-1 for the Power button location.

Note – The ILOM Service Processor will boot immediately after AC/DC power is

applied. The host system/motherboard is held in reset mode and the BIOS code will not execute until the ILOM boot is complete.

Powering Off the Server

● Choose a method for shutting down the server from main power mode to

standby power mode.

■ Graceful shutdown: Use a ballpoint pen or other stylus to press and release

the Power button on the front panel. This causes Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled operating systems to perform an orderly shutdown of the operating system. Servers not running ACPI-enabled operating systems will shut down to standby power mode immediately.

■ Emergency shutdown: Press and hold the Power button for four seconds to

force main power off and to enter standby power mode. When main power is off, the Power/OK LED on the front panel will begin flashing, indicating that the server is in standby power mode.

Caution – When you use the Power button to enter standby power mode, power is

still directed to the Graphics Redirect and Service Processor (GRASP) board and power supply fans. The Power/OK LED flashes during standby power mode. To completely power off the server, you must disconnect the AC or DC power cords from the back of the power supplies.

Configuring BIOS Settings

This section describes how to view and/or modify the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) settings. For a description of BIOS Setup screens, see “BIOS Setup Screens

Summary” on page 18.

The BIOS has a Setup utility stored in the BIOS flash memory. The Setup utility reports system information and can be used to configure the BIOS settings. The configured data is provided with context-sensitive Help and is stored in the system's battery-backed CMOS RAM. If the configuration stored in the CMOS RAM is invalid, the BIOS settings will default to the original state specified at the factory.

The BIOS Setup utility contains seven menu screens, which are displayed in the following order: Main, Advanced, PCI/PnP, Boot, Security, Chipset, and Exit.

Use the left and right arrow keys to move sequentially back and forth through the seven screens. Fields that can be reconfigured are displayed in color. All other fields are not configurable. Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through a screen's menu. Use the Tab key to move back and forth across columns.

Changing the Configuration of a BIOS Menu Item

You can change the BIOS configuration using several different interfaces:

■ Use a USB keyboard and mouse, and a VGA monitor connected directly to the

server.

■ Use the remote video console of the ILOM Service Processor and redirect the

server’s console output. See “Redirecting Console Output” on page 121

Resetting ILOM and BIOS Passwords

This procedure describes how to reset the Administrator password (root password) for the ILOM Service Processor to the default after it has been set once during initial setup.

Note – This procedure simultaneously removes any BIOS password that was set.

1. Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a ballpoint pen or other stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.

See “Powering Off the Server” on page 14.

2. Disconnect the AC or DC power cords from the server.

Caution – Before handling components, attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD)

wrist strap to the grounding post that is built into the rear of the chassis (see

FIGURE 1-3 for the location). The system’s printed circuit boards and hard disk drives

contain components that are extremely sensitive to static electricity.

3. If the server is in a rack, slide it far enough from the rack so that you can remove the cover. If you cannot safely view and access the motherboard, remove the server from the rack.

4. Remove the cover from the server.

See “Removing the Top Cover” on page 33.

5. Install the shorting jumper across the J12 header pins.

See

FIGURE 2-6 for the J12 jumper location. The function of the J12 jumper is to

clear the ILOM Service Processor (SP) password.

6. Reinstall the cover to the server.

7. Reconnect AC or DC power cords to the server.

The server powers up to standby power mode, indicated when the Power/OK LED on the front panel is flashing.

20 Netra X4200 M2 Server Service Manual • May 2007

8. Return the server to main power mode by using a ballpoint pen or other stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.

Note – You must allow the entire server, not just the SP, to reboot to main power

mode to complete the password reset. This is because the state of the J12 jumper cannot be determined without the host CPU running. Wait until the end of POST, when you see the CMOS password cleared by jumper message, after which both the BIOS and SP passwords are reset.

■ The ILOM SP password is reset to the default, changeme.

■ The BIOS password is also reset by a separate operation performed by the

BIOS when it discovers the presence of the J12 jumper. The BIOS password is not reset to changeme, it is removed so that there is no longer a BIOS password set. If you had a BIOS password set, you are no longer prompted for one.

9. Log in to the ILOM web GUI using root as the user name and changeme as the password.

Refer to the Integrated Lights Out Manager Administration Guide (819-1160).

10. Change the default password to a password of your choice.

11. Repeat Step 1 through Step 8 to remove the J12 jumper. Remove the jumper in Step 5 rather than inserting it.

Note – If you do not remove the J12 jumper, the ILOM SP and BIOS passwords will

be reset every time you power-cycle the server.

8. Reinstall the cover to the server.

9. Reconnect AC or DC power cords to the server.

The server powers up to standby power mode, indicated when the Power/OK LED on the front panel is flashing.

Using the Reset and NMI Switches

Caution – Do not use the Reset and NMI switches unless you are instructed to do

so by authorized Sun service personnel.

The Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) switch (SW3 on the motherboard) sends an NMI order to the CPUs, which is used by Field Service for debugging activities at the request of Service personnel. The button for this switch can be pushed by inserting a paper clip or similar stylus through the hole provided on the rear of the chassis (see

FIGURE 2-7, which shows the NMI Switch location on the Netra X4200 M2 server).

Chapter 2 Powering On and Configuring BIOS Settings 23

The Reset switch (SW4 on the motherboard) sends a reset order to the CPUs, resetting the main system, but not the service processor. The button for this switch can be pushed by inserting a paper clip or similar stylus through the hole provided on the rear of the chassis (see the Netra X4200 M2 server).

Replacing a Hard Drive

The hard disk drives in the server are hot-pluggable, but this capability depends on how the hard drives are configured. To hot-plug a drive you must take the drive offline (prevent any applications from accessing it, and remove the logical software links to it) before you can safely remove it.

The following situations inhibit the ability to perform hot-plugging of a drive:

■ The hard drive provides the operating system, and the operating system is not

mirrored on another drive.

■ The hard drive cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the

server.

If your drive falls into the conditions listed above, you must shut down the system before you replace the hard drive. See “Powering Off the Server” on page 28.

Note – Replacing a hard drive does not require removing the server from a rack.

Nor does the procedure require removing the top cover of the server.
