2-1

2.1 Powering 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 2-1 When main power is applied to the full server, the Power/OK LED next to the Power

button lights and remains lit.

2.2 Powering 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 2 Powering On and Configuring BIOS Settings 2-3

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.

2.3 Configuring 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.

2.3.1 Changing 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.

2-4 Sun Fire X4100/X4100 M2 and X4200/X4200 M2 Servers Service Manual • August 2009

1. To change the system parameters, enter the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the 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.

2.4 Resetting 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 2 Powering On and Configuring BIOS Settings 2-53

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.

2.4.1 Resetting 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.

2-56 Sun Fire X4100/X4100 M2 and X4200/X4200 M2 Servers Service Manual • August 2009

When the message, Booting linux in 2 seconds... is displayed, during ILOM initial boot, type xyzzy to enter the U-Boot command interpreter.

Note – The characters typed does not echo. Cutting and pasting the characters

improves the chance of success. You might try cycling power to the system and entering xyzzy several times.

3. Disable automatic reboot.

Set the uboot environment variable, bootretry, to -1 to temporarily disable automatic reboot:

set bootretry -1

4. Configure to not save the current configuration:

set preserve_conf no

5. Save your current environment:

saveenv

6. Reboot:

boot

2.5 Using 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

3.4 Powering 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.
