▼ To Install the Slide Rails
1. Determine which rack hole numbers you will use when attaching the slide rails to
the rack posts.
Most racks have posts that are marked off by rack units (1.75 in. or 45 mm). The Sun
Fire T1000 server occupies one rack unit.
2. Determine which screws you will use to mount the slide rails.
■ If your rack has threaded mounting holes in the rack posts, determine whether
the threads are metric or standard. Select the appropriate screws from the package
included in the mounting kit.
■ If your rack does not have threaded mounting holes, the mounting screws go
through bracket and rack post, and are secured with a caged nut. Select the
appropriate screws and nuts from the package included in the mounting kit.
3. Loosen the two captive screws (
FIGURE 2-4) approximately a quarter-turn on each
slide rail.
This action allows movement of the rear section so that you can adjust the length of
each slide rail.
Front
FIGURE 2-4 Captive Screws on the Slide Rail
4. Determine if the slide rails are long enough to fit your rack.
Chapter 2 Installing the Sun Fire T1000 Server 15
■ If the rack is deeper than 29.0 in. (737 mm), use M6 screws to attach an extension
bracket to the rear of each slide rail. See the upper detail in
■ If the slide rails are long enough, you might not need the extension brackets. You

CHAPTER
3
Powering On the System
This chapter includes instructions for booting the Sun Fire T1000 system and for
enabling the system controller network management port.
The following topics are discussed:
■ “Powering On the System for the First Time” on page 25
■ “Logging In To the ALOM-CMT System Controller” on page 28
■ “Using the ALOM-CMT System Controller for Common Operations” on page 35
■ “Booting the Solaris Operating System” on page 38
Powering On the System for the First Time
System Console
When you power on the system, the boot process begins under the control of the
system console. The system console displays status and error messages generated by
firmware-based tests during system startup.
Note – To see these status and error messages, connect a terminal or terminal
emulator to the serial management port (SERIAL MGT). For a basic procedure to
connect a terminal or terminal emulator, see “To Power On the System for the First
Time” on page 26.
For a more detailed discussion on configuring the system console and connecting
terminals, refer to the Sun Fire T1000 Server Administration Guide.
25
ALOM-CMT System Controller
After the system console finishes its low-level system diagnostics, the ALOM-CMT
System Controller initializes and runs a higher level of diagnostics. When you access
the ALOM-CMT System Controller using a device connected to the serial
management port, you see the output of the ALOM-CMT diagnostics.
By default, the network management port is configured to automatically retrieve
network configuration using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and to
allow connections using Secure Shell (SSH).
Note – If you are unable to use DHCP and SSH on your network, you must connect
to the ALOM-CMT System Controller using the serial management port to
reconfigure the network management port. See “To Configure the System Controller
Network Management Port” on page 30.
Once the network management port (NET MGT) has been assigned an IP address,
you can connect to the ALOM-CMT System Controller using Telnet or SSH.
Passwords
There is no default password when connecting to the ALOM-CMT System
Controller for the first time using the serial management port. To set the admin
password, see “To Log In To the System Controller Using the Serial Management
Port” on page 29.
When connecting to the ALOM-CMT System Controller using the network
management port for the first time, the default password is the last 8 digits of the
chassis serial number. The serial number is located on the rear of the server. It is also
printed on the system information sheet that shipped with the server.
▼ To Power On the System for the First Time
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 are printed on the serial terminal. For more information, refer to the
Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) CMT v1.2 Guide.
26 Sun Fire T1000 Server Installation Guide • July 2006
1. Connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to the SC serial
management port.
Configure the terminal or terminal emulator with these settings:
■ 9600 baud
■ 8 bits
■ No parity
■ 1 Stop bit
■ No handshaking
2. Turn on the terminal or terminal emulator.
3. Connect the AC power cable to the Sun Fire T1000 server and watch the terminal
for system messages.

▼ To Configure the System Controller Network
Management Port
Note – If your network allows the use of DHCP and SSH, this configuration is
performed automatically at the first time you boot the system.
30 Sun Fire T1000 Server Installation Guide • July 2006
Use this procedure only if:
■ If you are unable to use DHCP and SSH on your network.
■ If you need to modify the SC network management port settings.
In this procedure you connect to the ALOM-CMT System Controller using the serial
management port to manually reconfigure the network management port.
Note – For more information on configuring ALOM-CMT, refer to the Advanced
Lights Out Management (ALOM) CMT Guide.
You set these network parameters according to the specific details of your network
configuration:
■ if_network – Specifies whether the SC is on the network or not
■ netsc_ipaddr – IP address of the system controller
■ netsc_ipgateway – IP address of the gateway for the subnet
■ netsc_ipnetmask – Netmask for the system controller subnet
To configure these parameters, use the setsc command. The usage is:
sc> setsc parameter
1. Set the if_network parameter to true.
sc> setsc if_network true
2. Set the if_connection parameter to the connection type, either telnet or ssh.
sc> setsc if_connection value
where the value can be one of the following:
■ none
■ telnet
■ ssh
■ netsc_dhcp (The system controller obtains its network interface configuration
through a DHCP server.)
See the ALOM-CMT v1.2 guide for more information about SSH support in ALOMCMT.
3. Choose one of these methods to configure the system controller using information
from your network administrator:
■ Use DHCP to retrieve the network settings. Go to Step 4.
Chapter 3 Powering On the System 31
■ Configure a static IP configuration. Go to Step 5.
4. If you choose to use DHCP, set netsc_dhcp to true.
sc> setsc netsc_dhcp true
Go to Step 6.
5. If you choose to use a static IP configuration, set the parameters netsc_ipaddr,
netsc_ipgateway, and netsc_ipnetmask, as follows.
a. Set the IP address for the system controller.
sc> setsc netsc_ipaddr service-processor-IPaddr
b. Set the IP address for the system controller gateway.
sc> setsc netsc_ipgateway gateway-IPaddr
c. Set the netmask for the system controller.
sc> setsc netsc_ipnetmask 255.255.255.0
This example uses 255.255.255.0 to set the netmask. Your network environment
subnet might require a different netmask. Use a netmask number most appropriate
to your environment.
6. Use the showsc command to verify that the parameters were set correctly.

APPENDIX
B
Selecting a Boot Device
The boot device is specified by the setting of an OpenBoot configuration variable
called boot-device. The default setting of this variable is disk net. Because of
this setting, the firmware first attempts to boot from the system hard drive, and if
that fails, from the on-board NET0 Gigabit Ethernet interface.
This procedure assumes that you are familiar with the OpenBoot firmware and that
you know how to enter the OpenBoot environment. For more information, see the
Sun Fire T1000 Server Administration Guide.
This appendix includes the following topic:
■ Connecting the Network Interface to the Network
Connecting the Network Interface to the Network
To boot from a network, you must connect the network interface to the network.
▼ To Connect the Network Interface to the
Network
● At the ok prompt, type:
ok setenv boot-device device-specifier
where the device-specifier is one of the following:
45
■ disk – Specifies the system boot disk (internal disk 0 by default)
■ disk0 – Specifies internal drive 0
■ net, net0, net1– Specifies the network interfaces
■ full path name – Specifies the device or network interface by its full path name.
Note – The Solaris OS modifies the boot-device variable to its full path name, not
the alias name. If you choose a nondefault boot-device variable, the Solaris OS
specifies the full device path of the boot device.
Note – You can specify the name of the program to be booted as well as the way the
boot program operates. For more information, refer to the OpenBoot 4.x Command
Reference Manual for your specific Solaris OS release.
If you want to specify a network interface other than an on-board Ethernet interface
as the default boot device, you can determine the full path name of each interface by
typing:
ok show-devs
The show-devs command lists the system devices and displays the full path name
of each PCI device.

Configuring the Network Management Port
If your server uses Sun system firmware 6.2 or subsequent compatible versions, do
not perform the following configuration. Your ALOM-CMT System Controller
network management port is preconfigured at the factory.
If your server uses an earlier version of firmware than Sun system firmware 6.2, you
must configure the network management port before you can use it.
This appendix includes the following topic:
■ To Configure the System Controller Network Management Port
▼ To Configure the System Controller Network
Management Port
To access the system controller using the network for the first time, you must first
configure the SC network management port through the SC serial management port.
You set these network parameters according to the specific details of your network
configuration:
■ if_network – Specified whether the SC is on the network or not
■ netsc_ipaddr – IP address of the system controller
■ netsc_ipgateway – IP address of the gateway for the subnet
■ netsc_ipnetmask – Netmask for the system controller subnet
Note – For more information on configuring ALOM-CMT, refer to the Advanced
Lights Out Management (ALOM) CMT Guide.
47
To configure these parameters you must use the setsc command. The usage is:
sc> setsc parameter
1. Set the netmask for the system controller.
sc> setsc netsc_ipnetmask 255.255.255.0
This example uses 255.255.255.0 to set the netmask. Your network environment
subnet might require a different netmask. Use a netmask number most appropriate
to your environment.
2. Set the IP address for the system controller.
sc> setsc netsc_ipaddr service-processor-IPaddr
3. Set the IP address for the system controller gateway.
sc> setsc netsc_ipgateway gateway-IPaddr
4. Set the if_network parameter to true.
sc> setsc if_network true
5. Use the showsc command to verify that the parameters were set correctly.
The showsc command displays all the configuration parameters and their values, as
shown in the example below.
Note – The network addresses and parameters shown in the examples are for
illustration purposes only. The four parameters marked with asterisks must be set
according to the specific details of your network configuration for the network
management port to function properly.
