view status information about the server’s fans, power supply, supply rails,
operating temperature, and internal circuit breakers.
Chapter 9 describes how to use the LOM-specific Solaris commands to monitor and
manage the system. This chapter also explains how to configure the LOM device to
restart the server automatically after a system lockup.
Part III Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Chapter 10 lists some problems that you might encounter while setting up or using
the server and tells you how to solve them. It also describes the server’s LEDs.
Chapter 11 lists the field-replaceable units (FRUs) that you can order for your server
and tells you how to install them.
Part IV Appendixes
Appendix A tells you how to install and remove Hard Disk Drives from the server
without shutting the operating system down.
Appendix B provides information on re-installing Solaris and the Lights-Out
Management (LOM) software.
Appendix C describes the parameters you can configure in the LOM driver
configuration file.
Appendix D provides the locations and the factory default settings of the jumpers
on the system board.

1.1Overviewof the Sun FireV120 and Netra
120 Servers
FIGURE 1-1 The Sun Fire V120 Server
The Sun FireTMV120 and NetraTM120 servers are single-processor, thin (1U) servers
designed primarily for use by telecommunications carriers and internet service
providers. They are also suitable for use within corporate customer networks,
