2.1Powering On the Server
Note – Before powering on your server for the first time, follow the installation and
cabling instructions provided in the Sun Fire X4100/X4200 Servers Installation Guide,
which is shipped with the system and is also available online at:
http://www.sun.com/documentation
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 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
location.
2. Use a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release the recessed Power
button on the server front panel which is shown in
FIGURE 2-1 orFIGURE 2-2 for the LED
FIGURE 2-1 or FIGURE 2-2.
FIGURE 2-1When main power is applied to the full server, the Power/OK LED next to the Power
button lights and remains lit.

2.2Powering Off the Server
1. Choose a method for shutting down the server from main power mode to
standby power mode.
■ Graceful shutdown: Use a nonconducting pointer or 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 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.
Chapter 2Powering On and Configuring BIOS Settings2-3
Page 32
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, which is indicated when the Power/OK LED is flashing. To
completely power off the server, you must disconnect the power cords from the back
panel of the server.
2.3Configuring BIOS Settings
This section describes how to view and modify the BIOS settings.
The Basic Input/Output System (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 first BIOS Setup menu screen is displayed. 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 nonconfigurable. Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through a menu. Use
the Tab key to move back and forth across columns.
2.3.1Changing the Configuration of a BIOS Menu Item
You can change the BIOS configuration in several different interfaces.
■ Use a USB keyboard, a 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 Section B.2, “Redirecting Console Output” on
page B-2.
■ Use a terminal (or terminal emulator connected to a computer) through the serial
port on the back panel of the server.

F2 key while the system is performing the power-on self-test (POST).
POST testing is indicated when the Power/OK LEDs on the front and back panels
go into slow-blink mode.
2. Highlight the field to be modified using the arrow and Tab keys.
3. Press Enter to select the field.
A dialog box is displayed. The box presents you with the options that are available
for the setup field that you have chosen.
4. Modify the setup field and close the screen.
5. If you need to modify other setup parameters, use the arrow and Tab keys to
navigate to the desired screen and menu item, then repeat steps 1 through 3.
Otherwise, go to Step 6.
6. Press and release the right arrow key until the Exit menu screen is displayed.
7. Follow the instructions on the Exit menu screen to save your changes and exit
the Setup utility.

2.4Resetting SP and BIOS Passwords Using
Jumper P4 or J12
The names and locations of this jumper differ between the Sun Fire X4100/X4200 and
the X4100 M2/X4200 M2 servers:
■ In Sun Fire X4100/X4200 servers this jumper is P4. See FIGURE 2-8 on page 55 for the
location.
■ In Sun Fire X4100 M2/X4200 M2 servers this is jumper J12. See FIGURE 2-9 on page
56 for the location.
This procedure describes how to reset the Administration password (the root
password) for the ILOM Service Processor back 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 nonconducting pointer
or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.
See Section 2.2, “Powering Off the Server” on page 2-3.
2. Disconnect the power cords from the server.
Caution – Before handling components, attach an ESD wrist strap to the grounding
post that is built into the rear of the chassis (see
page 1-9 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 main cover. If you cannot safely view and access the motherboard,
remove the server from the rack.
4. Remove the main cover from the server.
See Section 3.5, “Removing the Main Cover of the Sun Fire X4100/X4100 M2
Server” on page 3-6 or Section 3.8, “Removing the Main Cover of the Sun Fire
X4200/X4200 M2 Servers” on page 3-10.
5. Install the shorting jumper across the P4 or J12 header pins.
See
FIGURE 2-8 or FIGURE 2-9 for the jumper location. This jumper’s function is to
clear the ILOM SP password.
6. Reinstall the main cover to the server.
FIGURE 1-2 on page 1-5 or FIGURE 1-6 on
Chapter 2Powering On and Configuring BIOS Settings2-53
Page 82
7. Reconnect 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.
8. Return the server to main power mode by using a nonconducting pointer or
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 this 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 this 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 username 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 steps 1 through 8 to remove the P4 or J12 jumper. (Remove the jumper in
Step 5 rather than inserting it.)
Note – If you do not remove this jumper, the ILOM SP and BIOS passwords will be
reset every time you power-cycle the server.

2.4.1Resetting the SP Password
If the ILOM BIOS SP password needs to be reset, do the following to reset the SP and
CMOS passwords:
1. Determine if the ILOM SP first-level booter (U-Boot) is intact. Follow
documented procedures to connect to the SP serial port, apply power to the
system, and observe the initial ILOM boot messages.
See Sun Fire X4500/X4540 Server Installation Guide for details.
■ If no screen output is displayed, stop here. The GRASP board must be replaced.
Refer to Sun Fire X4500/X4540 Server Service Manual for instructions.
■ If screen output is displayed, continue to the next step.
2. Enter the ILOM SP U-Boot command interpreter with xyzzy.

2.5Using the Force-Recovery Jumper P5 or
J13
The names and locations of this jumper differ between the Sun Fire X4100/X4200 and
the X4100 M2/X4200 M2 servers:
■ In Sun Fire X4100/X4200 servers this jumper is P5. See FIGURE 2-8 for the location.
■ In Sun Fire X4100 M2/X4200 M2 servers this is jumper J13. See FIGURE 2-9 for the
location.
You can use this jumper to force the server to flash a new BIOS in the case of a
system freeze. For example, if the system freezes after an ILOM SP firmware/BIOS
update, use this procedure to force the server to look for the new BIOS.
1. Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a nonconducting pointer
or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel. See
Section 2.2, “Powering Off the Server” on page 2-3.
2. Disconnect the power cords from the server.
Chapter 2Powering On and Configuring BIOS Settings2-57
Page 86
Caution – Before handling components, attach an ESD wrist strap to the grounding
post that is built into the rear of the chassis (see
page 1-9 for the location). The system’s printed circuit boards and hard disk drives
FIGURE 1-2 on page 1-5 or FIGURE 1-6 on
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 main cover. If you cannot safely view and access the motherboard,
remove the server from the rack.
4. Remove the main cover from the server. See one of the following:
■ Section 3.5, “Removing the Main Cover of the Sun Fire X4100/X4100 M2
Server” on page 3-6
■ Section 3.8, “Removing the Main Cover of the Sun Fire X4200/X4200 M2
Servers” on page 3-10.
5. Install the shorting jumper across the P5 or J13 header pins.
See
FIGURE 2-8 or FIGURE 2-9 for the jumper location. This jumper’s function is to
instruct the system to force recovery of the latest BIOS at system reboot.
6. Reinstall the main cover to the server.
7. Reconnect power cords to the server.
The server powers up to standby power mode, which is indicated when the
Power/OK LED on the front panel is flashing.
8. Return the server to main power mode by using a nonconducting pointer or
stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.
You must fully power on the server to complete the reset. This is because the state
of this jumper cannot be determined without the host CPU running.
9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 to remove the P5 or J13 jumper. (Remove the jumper in
Step 5 rather than inserting it.)
Note – If you do not remove this jumper, the server will force a recovery of the new
BIOS every time that you power cycle the server.

3.4Powering Off the Server
Use the preparatory procedures in this section when you are referred to them from
the removal and replacement procedures.
1. Choose a method for shutting down the server from main power mode to
standby power mode. See
■ Graceful shutdown: Use a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release
the recessed 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 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 GRASP board and power supply fans, which is indicated when
the Power/OK LED is flashing. To completely power off the server, you must
disconnect the power cords from the back panel of the server.
