1.4 Shared Features of the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers

1.4.1 Server Management

Strong server-management capabilities are crucial to maintaining mission-critical servers. Advance notiﬁcation of problems and rapid diagnosis and correction are critical functions to an environment in which a few servers bear most of the workload. These servers and their extensive server-management capabilities lower costs by reducing failure and potentially eliminating hands-on management.

1.4.1.1 Service Processor

These servers include a dedicated service processor (SP) for complete operating-system independence and maximum availability of server management. The SP is an embedded PowerPC that provides the following:

Environmental monitoring of the platform (such as temperatures, voltages, fan

■

speeds and panel switches) Alert messages when problems occur

■

Remote control of server operations (boot, shutdown and reboot of the server’s operating system, turning the server’s power on and off, stopping the server’s boot process in BIOS, and upgrading the BIOS)

The SP runs an embedded version of Linux, and all the server-management functions are developed as standard Linux applications. Its sole purpose is to support server management; therefore, the full functionality of the operating system is not available in the SP. Many familiar applications, such as ftp and telnet, are not provided as they are not required to support the server-management feature set.

1-12 Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers—User Guide • March 2005

1.4.1.2 Operator Panel

You can use the operator panel to conﬁgure network settings for the service processor.

■ FIGURE 1-1 shows the operator-panel location on the Sun Fire V20z front panel.

■ FIGURE 1-4 shows the operator-panel location on the Sun Fire V40z front panel.

The drivers for the server must be installed to access these menu options. Some operator-panel menus are only functional under these conditions:

■ An external ﬁle system is conﬁgured with the Network Share Volume (NSV).

■ The SP update server from the NSV machine is available.

■ The NSV machine has Java™ Runtime Environment 1.4.2 (or later) installed on it.

The liquid-crystal display (LCD) panel on the operator panel displays menu options with Menu: appearing in the ﬁrst line and the menu option in the second line. When no menu option is available, the ﬁrst line displays SP information, such as the IP address, and the second line provides platform information. For example:

CHAPTER

Powering On and Conﬁguring BIOS Settings

This chapter contains instructions on powering on and conﬁguring the server BIOS. Changing the BIOS parameters is only necessary if you want to change the defaults.

Before powering on the server for the ﬁrst time, follow the instructions in the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers—Installation Guide to set up your server.

This chapter contains the following sections:

■ “Powering On the Server” on page 2-1

■ “Escape Sequences for Remote Console Terminal” on page 2-4

■ “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 2-5

■ “Booting From a USB Diskette Device” on page 2-16

2.1 Powering On the Server

Note – Before powering on a server for the ﬁrst time, follow the setup instructions in

the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers—Installation Guide.

Caution – Before you power on a Sun Fire V40z server for the ﬁrst time, you must

remove the packaging inserts from the server’s PCI card slots and CPU card slot to ensure proper air ﬂow and cooling. You can discard these packaging inserts, which serve as protection during shipping. Do NOT remove the plastic air-bafﬂe inserts from the PCI slots.

The updated release (chassis PN 380-1206) of the server does not ship with the packaging insert in the PCI card slots.

2-1

If you want to conﬁgure the server BIOS, you must use a PS/2 keyboard for initial bootup. USB keyboard support is disabled in the BIOS by default. See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 2-5 for more information.

Caution – Do not operate this server without all fans, component heatsinks, air

bafﬂes and the cover installed. Severe damage to server components will occur if the server is operated without adequate cooling mechanisms.

Follow these steps to boot the server:

1. Ensure that an AC power cord is plugged into each power connector on the rear of the server and into an AC power outlet(s).

2. Power on the server using one of the following two methods, depending on which server type you have:

■ If you have a Sun Fire V20z server, use these steps:

a. Turn on the AC power switch on the server back panel (see

FIGURE 1-2).

This switch provides AC power to the SP and basic hardware.

b. Push and release the platform power button on the server front panel (see

FIGURE 1-1).

This button provides power to the BIOS, operating system and drivers.

■ If you have a Sun Fire V40z server, use this step:

a. Push and release the platform power button on the server front panel (see

FIGURE 1-4).

This button provides power to the BIOS, operating system and drivers. There is no separate AC power switch on the Sun Fire V40z server; basic AC power is applied when you plug in a power cord to a power supply.

Note – If this is the ﬁrst time you are booting the server, the booting stops and

displays a message on the monitor, Operating system not found, and the LCD on the front panel displays the message, OS Booting. This is normal until after you install an operating system.

3. When prompted, you can press the F2 key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility or press the F12 key to boot from the network. To boot from the default boot device, let the prompt time out and the boot process will continue.

For further information about the BIOS Setup Utility, refer to “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 2-5. For information about setting up a network PXE installation, see the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers—Linux Operating System Installation Guide.

2-2 Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers—User Guide • March 2005

2.2 Powering Off the Server

To perform a graceful shutdown of the server while running a Solaris, Linux or UNIX® operating system, use this procedure.

1. Type the following command:

# poweroff This command shuts down the OS. Depending on which OS you are using, you may also have to push the platform

power button on the front panel after the OS shuts down.

2. Do one of the following actions, depending on which model of server you have:

■ If you have a Sun Fire V20z server, turn off the AC power switch on the server

back panel to remove AC power.

■ If you have a Sun Fire V40z server, disconnect all power cords from all power

supplies to remove AC power.

Chapter 2 Powering On and Conﬁguring BIOS Settings 2-3

2.3 Escape Sequences for Remote Console Terminal

If you are accessing your server using a remote console terminal, you might need to use the escape sequences shown in properly, use the escape sequence listed next to it in the table.

You will most likely need to use the escape sequences if you are using a Linux or Solaris OS.

2.4 BIOS Setup Utility

The basic input output system (BIOS) Setup utility can be used to conﬁgure BIOS settings. When the computer is powered on, it is conﬁgured with the values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot time. Changing these parameters is only necessary if you want to change the defaults.

To change the system parameters, enter the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key when prompted, as the system is booting.

Note – If you are using a USB keyboard, the F2 key might not work properly when

entering BIOS Setup unless the F-Lock key is on.

During system boot, you can also press the F12 key to boot the network.

To access the BIOS Setup utility remotely, you can log in by means of an SSH client. Refer to the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers—Server Management Guide, for more information about managing the server remotely.

From the Main menu screen, you can access other setup screens, such as Security and Power.

To navigate between items in a menu:

■ Use the up and down arrow keys to move among the settings in each menu.

■ Use the left and right arrow keys to change the options for each setting.

Items that include submenus begin with a triangle icon. To access a submenu, select the item so that it is highlighted and press Enter.

Note – You can use the Fusion-MPT SCSI BIOS Conﬁguration Utility to change the

default conﬁguration of your SCSI host adapters. You may decide to alter these default values if there is a conﬂict between device settings or to optimize system performance. See Appendix D for details.

Chapter 2 Powering On and Conﬁguring BIOS Settings 2-5

The tables in the following sections describe each parameter setting in the BIOS Setup Utility.

Note – For NSV version 2.2.0.x and higher, there are certain changes in the menu

Removing the Cover of the Sun Fire V20z Server

3.2.1 Server Top-Cover Installation

When replacing the top cover on the Sun Fire V20z server after component installation, use caution to avoid damaging the cover or server components.

Remove all peripheral cables from PCI cards before installing the cover. If you install the server cover with PCI card cables installed, a lip on the edge of the server cover and the EMC foam gasket inside that lip may catch parts of the PCI card connectors and, in some cases, may deform the server cover seal or damage the connector latches.

Ensure that the power-supply cable is properly installed. The server cover may not close properly or may be difﬁcult to close, and server performance may be affected if the power-supply cable is not properly installed.

The power-supply cable must be routed and pressed down such that it does not interfere with the cover installation. The power-supply cable must be tucked into a position such that the cable and its associated tie-wraps are not below the top surface of the power supply. Rotate the tie-wraps downward so that they do not protrude above the cable itself.

3-30 Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers—User Guide • March 2005

3.5.11 Memory Modules

The following procedure describes how to remove and replace memory modules.

3.5.11.1 Memory Module Population Rules

Use the following information and rules when you use the procedures in this section to replace or add dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) to the server.

■ DIMMs used in the server must all be of the same type: “Registered DDR 333" or

“Registered DDR 400".

Caution – The Registered DDR 400 memory DIMMS can only be used in the second

updated release (chassis part number [PN] 380-1194) of the Sun Fire V20z server.

If you are installing the new Registered DDR 400 memory DIMMs in your server, you must also install the new 2.6V voltage-regulator module (VRM) (PN 370-7747).

Note – If you mix two different types of DIMM, the memory clocks down to the

lower speed. Sun Microsystems, Inc. does not support this conﬁguration.

Note – A maximum of 6 GB of memory per CPU is currently supported in the Sun

Fire V20z server at DDR 400 speed: two 2-GB DIMMs and two 1-GB DIMMS. In this case, you must insert the 2-GB DIMMs in the bank next to the CPU and the 1-GB DIMMs in the outer bank.

If more than 6 GB of DDR 400 memory is installed per CPU (meaning, 2-GB DIMMs in all four memory slots), the system will access at the memory only at DDR 333 speed.

■ Four DIMMs are supported per CPU. The four DIMM slots for each CPU are

grouped into two banks (bank 0 and bank 1) that contain two slots each.

■ The Sun Fire V20z server supports either one- or two-CPU conﬁgurations. In a

one-CPU system, you can only use the four DIMM slots that are adjacent to CPU0.

■ In a two-CPU system, each CPU can use two or four DIMMs; when using only

two DIMMs for a CPU, populate the bank closest to the CPU ﬁrst (bank 0).

■ DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs (one bank at a time). The two DIMMs

in a bank must be of the same size, type and vendor.

Chapter 3 Maintaining the Sun Fire V20z Server 3-31

■ Each CPU can support two banks of DIMMs. While each bank must contain a pair

of matching DIMMs, the size and vendor of the DIMMs between bank 0 and bank 1 do not have to match.

■ For example, TABLE 3-1 shows some valid sample conﬁgurations for CPU0. In

each example, DIMM 0 and DIMM 1 match in size (and vendor), but they do not have to match DIMM 2 and DIMM 3. DIMM 2 and DIMM 3 must match within their bank, but they do not have to match DIMM 0 and DIMM 1.

TABLE 3-1 Sample of Valid DIMM Conﬁgurations

CPU 0 BANK 0 BANK 1

Example 1 DIMM 0 = 512, DIMM 1 = 512 DIMM 2 = 1GB, DIMM 3 = 1GB

Example 2 DIMM 0 = 1GB, DIMM 1 = 1GB DIMM 2 = 1GB, DIMM 3 = 1GB

Example 3 DIMM 0 = 1GB, DIMM 1 = 1GB DIMM 2 = 512, DIMM 3 = 512

Example 4 DIMM 0 = 2GB, DIMM 1 = 2GB DIMM 2 = 512, DIMM 3 = 512

■ The sample conﬁgurations in TABLE 3-2 are not valid because in each case, at

least one of the banks contains mismatched DIMM pairs.

TABLE 3-2 Sample of Non-Valid DIMM Conﬁgurations

CPU 0 BANK 0 BANK 1

Example 1 DIMM 0 = 512, DIMM 1 = 1GB DIMM 2 = 512, DIMM 3 = 512

Example 2 DIMM 0 = 1GB, DIMM 1 = 1GB DIMM 2 = 512, DIMM 3 = 2GB

Example 3 DIMM 0 = 2GB, DIMM 1 = 2GB DIMM 2 = 512, DIMM 3 = 1GB

Example 4 DIMM 0 = 512, DIMM 1 = 1GB DIMM 2 = 512, DIMM 3 = 1GB
