2.1Powering 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 FIGURE 2-1 or FIGURE 2-2 for the LED location.

2.Use a ballpoint pen or other stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the server front panel. See FIGURE 2-1 or FIGURE 2-2 for the Power button location.

When main power is applied to the full server, the Power/OK LED next to the Power button lights and remains lit.

2.2Powering 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

2.3Configuring 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.

2.3.1Changing 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.
