Tools Needed
■ No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
■ ESD mat and grounding strap
Shipping Kit Inventory List
Standard components of Sun Fire T1000 server are installed at the factory. However,
if you ordered options such as additional memory or a PCI card, these are shipped
to you separately.
Note – Inspect the shipping carton for evidence of physical damage. If a shipping
carton appears damaged, request that the carrier’s agent be present when the carton
is opened. Keep all contents and packing material for the agent’s inspection.
Verify that you have received all the parts of your system:
■ Sun Fire T1000 server
■ Mounting rail assemblies (x2)
■ Mounting rail extension brackets (x2)
■ Package of mounting screws and nuts
■ Cable management bracket
■ Package of cable straps
■ Serial DB-9 connector to RJ-45 connector conversion cable
■ Documentation and software license
■ Any optional components that were ordered with your server
2 Sun Fire T1000 Server Installation Guide • July 2006
Optional Components
The standard components of the Sun Fire T1000 server are installed at the factory.
However, if you ordered options such as additional memory or a PCI card, these are
shipped separately. Install these components prior to installing the server in a rack.
If you ordered any other options that are not factory-installed, see the Sun Fire T1000
Server Service Manual for installation instructions.
Note – All internal components must be installed only by qualified service
technicians.
Caution – Electrostatic damage can permanently disable the system or require
repair by Sun service technicians. Place components on an antistatic surface, such as
an antistatic discharge mat, an antistatic bag, or a disposable antistatic mat. Wear an
antistatic grounding strap connected to a metal surface on the chassis when you
work on system components.
Note – The list of optional components can be updated without notice. Refer to the
Sun Store web site (http://store.sun.com) for the most current list of
components supported in the Sun Fire T1000 server.
Installation Overview
This installation guide provides procedures that must be performed in the following
order.
1. Verify that you have received all of the components that ship with your server.
See “Shipping Kit Inventory List” on page 2.
2. Gather configuration information for your system. See your system administrator
for specific details, including these parameters:
■ Gateway IP address
■ IP address for the system controller
■ Netmask
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation 3
3. Install any optional Sun components shipped with your system. If you have
purchased other optional components such as additional memory, install them
prior to mounting the server in a rack. See “Optional Components” on page 3.
4. Mount the server into a rack or cabinet. See “To Install the Server in the Rack” on
page 19.
Note – In the rest of this document, the term rack means either an open rack or a
closed cabinet.
5. Connect the server to a serial terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation)
to display system messages. See “Powering On the System for the First Time” on
page 25.
Tip – The serial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you
connect the power cables. As soon as AC power is connected to the system, the
system controller immediately powers on and runs diagnostics. Diagnostic test
failures will be printed on the serial terminal. For more information, refer to the
Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) CMT v1.2 Guide.
6. Connect the data cables to the server, but do not connect the AC power cable yet.
See “Connecting the Server Cables” on page 20.
7. Connect the AC power cable to the server and examine the display for any error
messages. See “Powering On the System for the First Time” on page 25.
Caution – There is a potential for electric shock if the server and related equipment
are not properly grounded.
Note – The system controller (SC) runs on the 3.3v standby voltage. As soon as AC
power is connected to the system, the system controller immediately powers on,
runs diagnostics, and initializes the ALOM-CMT firmware.
8. After the system controller boots, access the ALOM-CMT command-line interface
through the serial management port. See “To Log In To the System Controller
Using the Serial Management Port” on page 29.
9. Configure the SC network management port. See “To Configure the System
Controller Network Management Port” on page 30.
10. Enable the new configuration by resetting the system controller. See “To Reset
the System Controller” on page 33.
4 Sun Fire T1000 Server Installation Guide • July 2006
11. Power on the server using the ALOM-CMT software. See “To Initiate the Power
On Sequence” on page 35.
12. Configure the Solaris OS. See “To Boot the Solaris Operating System” on page 38.
The Solaris OS is preinstalled on the server. When you power on, you are
automatically guided through the Solaris OS configuration procedure. See “To
Boot the Solaris Operating System” on page 38.
13. Install any required patch or patches to the server.
Refer to the Sun Fire T1000 Server Product Notes for a list of the required patches.
14. (Optional) Load additional software from the Solaris media kit.
The Solaris media kit (sold separately) includes several CDs containing software
to help you operate, configure, and administer your server. Refer to the
documentation provided with the media kit for a complete listing of included
software and detailed installation instructions.
Slide Rail Assembly Notes
The rackmount kit has two slide rail assemblies. Each slide rail assembly can be
installed on either the right or left side of the rack.
A slide rail assembly consists of three main sections, a front section, a sliding rear
section, and a removable mounting bracket (
includes two extension brackets.
FIGURE 1-2). The rackmount kit also

FIGURE 1-2 Slide Rail Assembly
Rear section
The slide rail assembly has the following features:
■ The front and rear sections form the slide rail. The front and rear sections expand
to fit rack depths from 24 in. (610 mm) to 29.0 in. (737 mm).
■ Extension brackets are included in the mounting rail kit. The extension brackets
add 2.9 in. (73 mm) to the length of each slide rail.
■ The mounting bracket slides 13 in. (330 mm) out of the slide rail, then locks in
place. If you unlock the mounting bracket, it slides an additional 4 in. (100 mm)
before separating from the slide rail. The mounting brackets mount directly to the
sides of the Sun Fire T1000 chassis.
■ There are two locks on each Sun Fire T1000 mounting bracket (FIGURE 1-3). The
mounting bracket lock allows the mounting bracket to slide forward. The
mounting bracket release allows you to remove the mounting bracket from the
slide rail. You also use the release when pushing the mounting bracket into the
slide rail.
