Introduction to the Sun Fire X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 Servers
This chapter contains overviews of the Sun Fire™ X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 servers,
including features and orderable components.
1.1 Features of the Servers
The Sun Fire X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 servers were designed to take full advantage
of the exceptional power and performance of the AMD Opteron™ processor.
The servers include an extensive set of reliability, availability, and serviceability
(RAS) features. The servers also provide a remote, integrated lights-out management
(ILOM) service processor function, including remote boot and remote software
upgrades.

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 and Sun Fire X4200 Servers
Installation Guide, which is shipped with the system and is also available online at
the URL described in “Related Documentation” on page -xii.
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 AC 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
2. Use a ballpoint pen or other stylus to press and release the recessed Power button
on the server front panel. See
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 ballpoint pen or other 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.
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, indicated when the Power/OK LED is flashing. To completely
power off the server, you must disconnect the AC power cords from the back panel
of the server.
Chapter 2 Powering On and Configuring BIOS Settings 2-3
2.3 Configuring BIOS Settings
This section describes how to view and/or 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 this 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 non-configurable. Use the up and down arrows, on the keyboard, to scroll
through a screen's 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 and 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.1.2, “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.
1. To change the system’s 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 appears. The box presents you with the options available for the setup
field that you have chosen.
