Safety Precautions
For your protection, observe the following safety precautions when setting up your
equipment:
xivSun Fire V100 Server User’s Guide • December 2001
■ Follow all cautions and instructions marked on the equipment.
■ Never push objects of any kind through openings in the equipment. Dangerous
voltages may be present. Conductive foreign objects can produce a short circuit
that could cause fire, electric shock, or damage to your equipment.
Symbols
The following symbols may appear in this manual:
Caution – There is a risk of personal injury and equipment damage. Follow the
instructions.
Caution – Hazardous voltages are present. To reduce the risk of electric shock and
danger to personal health, follow the instructions.
Modifications to Equipment
Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the equipment. Sun
Microsystems is not responsible for the regulatory compliance of a modified
product.
Caution – Do not block or cover the openings of your Sun product. Never place a
Sun product near a radiator or heat register. Failure to follow these guidelines can
cause overheating and affect the reliability of your Sun product.
Caution – If your server is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may exceed the room
ambient temperature. Ensure that rack environment ambient temperature does not
exceed 40 degrees.
Prefacexv
Caution – Mounting of the equipment in a rack or cabinet should be such that a
hazardous condition is not created due to uneven mechanical loading or weight
distribution.
Caution – Ensure that the connection of multiple system units to the circuit does
not overload the supply overcurrent protection or supply wiring. Consider the Sun
agency label electrical ratings when determining the correct branch circuit rating for
your installation.
Caution – All supply connections, wiring, wire protection, and wire routing must
be made in accordance with applicable sections and requirements of national
electrical code and local electrical authorities.

Preinstalled Software
The Sun Fire V100 server is preinstalled with the Solaris 8 operating environment (64
bit), including Lights-Out Management (LOM). The server will only support a 64 bit
kernel, but applications written for a 32 bit environment can be used as long as they
do not depend upon a 32 bit driver.
For more information on the specific release of Solaris 8 installed on your server, use
the command below.
# cat /etc/release

Optional Components
Sun offers additional hard disk drives and memory modules for the server. To order
them, contact your local Sun sales representative. See
components and part numbers. The server should be seen as a replaceable unit: if a
fault occurs, contact your local Sun sales representative for a replacement.

CHAPTER
2
Installing the Sun Fire V100 Server
Into a Rack
This chapter explains how to install the Sun Fire V100 server into a rack and
describes the mounting options available. It also contains a guide on connecting the
cables to the server. The information is provided in the following sections:
■ “Choosing Between a Rack and a Cabinet” on page 8
■ “Installing the Sun Fire V100 Server Into a 19-Inch Wide or 72-inch Tall Four-Post
Rack” on page 8
■ “Connecting the Cables” on page 17
7
Choosing Between a Rack and a Cabinet
The Sun Fire V100 server can be installed in either a rack or a cabinet. Factors that
might influence your decision include:
■ Security
If other people have access to the room in which your servers are located, you can
increase security by locking the servers in a cabinet.
■ Thermal issues
Cabinets often require additional fans, because the systems installed in them
generate heat in an enclosed space. Two-post racks, however, may require no
special cooling systems.
■ Flooring
Two-post telco relay racks are designed so that cables can be run overhead.
Cabinets often require cables to be run under the floor.

19-Inch Wide or 72-inch Tall Four-Post
Rack
The 19-Inch Rackmounting Kit
The mounting slides can each be used on either side of the rack. The parts required
are listed in
8Sun Fire V100 Server User’s Guide • December 2001
TABLE 2-1. The part number of the rackmounting kit is X6919A.
A bracket is provided to aid cable management at the back of the server (see
FIGURE 2-1). Use zip ties to secure the cables to the cable management bracket and
hold them in place.
FIGURE 2-1 Cable Management Bracket
▼ To Assemble the Slides and Mount the Server
1. Position the two parts of the slide so that the double-angled ear (A) is in the
correct position for the rack you are installing into.
■ For the Sun StorEdge 72-inch tall (19-inch wide) rack, the double-angled ear (A)
must be to the rear (see
FIGURE 2-2).
Chapter 2Installing the Sun Fire V100 Server Into a Rack9
■ For a standard 19-inch wide rack, the double-angled ear (A) must be to the front
(see
FIGURE 2-3).

FIGURE 2-3 Positioning the Slide Mounts for a Standard 19-Inch Wide Rack
2. Loosely screw the two parts of the slide mounts together using the M4 nuts
supplied.
3. Measure the distance between the front and back posts of your rack.
4. Adjust the slide mounts so that the distance between the front and back mounting
ears is approximately the distance between the front and back posts of the rack.
10Sun Fire V100 Server User’s Guide • December 2001
5. Move the brackets so that the studs are in suitable slots and tighten the nuts.
6. Fasten the mounting slides to the rack using the screws supplied.
For the Sun StorEdge 72-inch rack, refer to
FIGURE 2-4 and FIGURE 2-5. Leave the
screws slightly loose to allow adjustment when you slide the server into the rack.
For a standard 19-inch rack, refer to
FIGURE 2-6. Leave the screws slightly loose to
allow adjustment when you slide the server into the rack.
