Section 1.9, “Special Tools and Shipping Kit Items” on page 1-13
Section 1.10, “System Block Diagrams” on page 1-14

1.1 System Component Hot-Swap Guidelines

In the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems, hot-swapping a component refers to physically removing and replacing a component while the remaining system components are operational.
Note – The System Management Software (SMS) requires 30 seconds to recognize
the removal of a hot-swappable component. The user should wait for a system response before installing a new replacement board.
1-1
The hot-swappable components in the system are listed as follows.
System Control board
Centerplane support board
CPU board
MaxCPU board
hsPCI assembly
System expander board
Fan trays
Power supplies
System control peripheral board

1.2 Configuration Rules

The following rules apply when configuring components of the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems:
Every system must be equipped with two centerplane support boards (CSB) in
order to utilize full-width data, address, and response paths. If one CSB fails, there is an interruption in service. However, SMS recovers the domains and the remaining CSB runs in a degraded mode.
Every system must be equipped with two System Control (SC) boards.
Every system must be equipped with two SC peripheral boards.
Every system must be equipped with eight fan trays.
Every system must be equipped with six power supplies.
The following rules apply when configuring components on the CPU board:
Note – The CPU/Memory board field-replaceable unit (FRU) is for maintenance use
only. FRUs must not be used to upgrade CPU performance in systems. Usage as such can violate United States export regulations.
The United States government sets limits as to the server configuration exportable to certain destinations or certain customers. Server CPU upgrades must be ordered as standalone CPU upgrade options rather than spares. All upgrades must first be approved by Sun International Trade Services to ensure the system does not exceed
1-2 Sun Fire 15K/12K Systems Service Manual • May 2006
the legal limit for the destination (customer). The following message appears on the label on all CPU FRUs to alert all concerned that this FRU is for maintenance of the system only and should not be used to upgrade a system:
This assembly is for maintenance use only.
Not to be used to upgrade systems.
Use as system upgrades could violate
United States export regulations.
All CPU modules must be the same speed.
All external cache modules must be the same size.
When configuring memory:
All sockets within a bank must be fully populated.
All DIMM sizes within a bank must be equal.

1.3 Testing the System

The Sun Fire 15K/12K systems use setkeyswitch to diagnose system problems by running hpost(1M) when posting a domain. The hpost(1M) diagnostic probes, configure and test the domain hardware, preparing the system to run OpenBoot™ PROM and subsequently the Solaris operating environment.
The Sun VTS™ diagnostics suite can be used as a verification of a dynamic system domain or an SC. To use the sunvts(1M) command, you must be logged into the host as superuser. Information about sunvts(1M) is located in
/opt/share/man/man1m.
Verify the SMS is up and running by typing:
sc% showfailover -r MAIN
This command explains the role of the SC. The value returned should be MAIN indicating that this SC is providing all resources for the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems. If you do not get this value, consult the SMS Administration Guide.
Chapter 1 Guidelines, Indicators, and Nomenclature 1-3

1.4 Reviewing System Temperatures

The temperature status can be checked at any time by using Sun™ Management Center software or the
sc% showenvironment -p temps
