15K/12K systems:
■ Section 1.1, “System Component Hot-Swap Guidelines” on page 1-1
■ Section 1.2, “Configuration Rules” on page 1-2
■ Section 1.3, “Testing the System” on page 1-3
■ Section 1.4, “Reviewing System Temperatures” on page 1-4

page 1-7
■ Section 1.8, “Safety Precautions” on page 1-12
■ Section 1.9, “Special Tools and Shipping Kit Items” on page 1-13
■ Section 1.10, “System Block Diagrams” on page 1-14
1.1System 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
1.2Configuration 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
1-2Sun 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.
1.3Testing 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 Nomenclature1-3

■ SC CPU Reset Button
When the RESET button on the front panel of the SC CPU (CP1500) board is
pressed, a Power-on-reset (POR) is generated to the SC CPU board and a
peripheral component interconnect (PCI) reset is generated to the PCI devices on
the SC main board. This results in a general clearing of the SC CPU board to a
power on state, and a reset of the PCI bus on the SC main board.
Using the RESET button will reboot the operating system on the SC if the
appropriate OpenBoot PROM (OBP) environment variables have been set.
Chapter 6 System Control (SC) Board6-3
■ SC CPU Abort Button
When the ABORT button on the front panel of the SC CPU (CP1500) board is
pressed, an external initiated reset (XIR) is generated to the CPU module,
returning the CPU to a known start-up state. No other devices are affected by this
reset.
