2.1 Powering On the Server

Before powering on your server for the first time, follow the installation and cabling instructions provided in the Sun Fire X4540 Installation Guide, available online at the URL described in “Related Documentation” on page xiii.

Caution – Do not operate the server without all fans, component heat sinks, air

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

To power on main power for all server components:

1. Verify that power cords have been connected and that standby power is on.

In standby power mode, the Power/OK LED (3) on the front panel flashes.

2. Use a nonconducting 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.

FIGURE 2-1.

2.2 Powering Off the Server

To power off the server from main power mode, use one of the following two methods:

■ Graceful shutdown: Use a nonconducting 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

blinking, indicating that the server is in standby power mode.

Caution – To power off the server completely, you must disconnect the AC power

cords from the back panel of the server.

2.3 Automatic Power-Off Events

The service processor shuts down the system if it detects an overtemperature condition.

The hardware shuts down the system immediately if any voltage is out of spec, or if the last working power supply fails.

See Section E.2, “Power-Off Sequence” on page E-4 for a diagram of the power-off sequence and its timing parameters.

Chapter 2 Powering On and Configuring BIOS Settings 2-3

2.4 Configuring BIOS Settings

This section describes how to view and 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 default to the original state specified at the factory.

When the BIOS is started, 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 nonconfigurable.)

■ Use the up and down arrows, on the keyboard, to scroll through a menu.

■ Use the Tab key to move back and forth across columns.

2.4.1 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.4, “Redirecting Console Output” on

page B-3.

■ Use a terminal (or terminal emulator connected to a computer) through the serial

port on the back panel of the server.

To change the system’s parameters:

1. Enter the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is

performing the power-on self-test (POST).

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.

2-4 Sun Fire X4500/X4540 Server Service Manual • May 2010

4. Modify the setup field and close the screen.

5. If you need to modify other setup parameters, use the arrow and Tab keys to

navigate to the desired screen and menu item, then repeat Steps 1 through 3. Otherwise, go to Step 5.

6. Press and release the right arrow key until the Exit menu screen is displayed.

7. Follow the instructions on the Exit menu screen to save your changes and exit

the Setup utility.

2.5 Ethernet Port (NIC) Device and Driver Naming

These servers each have four 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports connected to individual Network Interface Cards (NICs). The chassis labeling of the physical ports is shown in

FIGURE 1 Ethernet Port Chassis Labeling Designations

General system information.

Configuration information for the CPUs, IDE, SuperIO, ACPI, Event Log, Hyper Transport, IPMI, MPS, PCI Express, Remote Access, and USB. Twelve additional screens can be accessed from the Advanced menu.

Plug-and-Play (PnP) devices can be configured by the BIOS (default), or by the operating system (if applicable).

Configure the boot device priority (disk drives and the ATAPI DVD-ROM drive).

Install or change the user and supervisor passwords.

Configuration options for the NorthBridge, SouthBridge, and PCI-X devices. Six separate screens can be accessed from the Chipset menu.

Note that the Memory Chipkill option is enabled by default. Enabling Chipkill improves system reliability but degrades system performance under specific applications.

Save or discard changes.

FIGURE 2-2 summarizes the BIOS menu tree. See Section 2.12, “BIOS Setup Menu

Screens (X4500)” on page 2-12 for examples of each of these screens.

See Section t, “To Install a PCI-X or PCIe Card (FRU)” on page 3-65 for the locations of the PCI slots.

General system information.

Configuration information for the CPUs, IDE, HyperTransport, ACPI, Event Log, IPMI, MPS, PCI Express, Remote Access, Trusted Compuring and USB. Eleven additional screens can be accessed from the Advanced menu.

Plug-and-Play (PnP) devices can be configured by the BIOS (default), or by the operating system (if applicable).

Configure the boot device priority.

Install or change the user and supervisor passwords.

Configuration options for the NorthBridge, and SouthBridge devices. Five separate screens can be accessed from the Chipset menu.

Note that the Memory Chipkill option is enabled by default. Enabling Chipkill improves system reliability but degrades system performance under specific applications.

Save or discard changes.

FIGURE 2-4 summarizes the BIOS menu tree. See Section 2.16, “BIOS Setup Menu

2.15 Drives Mapping (X4540)

There are six on-board LSI controllers with each controller connecting to eight drives.

TABLE 2-5 LSI Drives Numeric Mapping

LSI Controller Number IIdentification

LSI controller 0 Resides in bus 02h, device 0, function 0 connects to eight drives,

ID00 to ID07

LSI controller 1 Resides in bus 03h, device 0, function 0 connects to eight drives,

ID00 to ID07

LSI controller 2 Resides in bus 04h, device 0, function 0 connects to eight drives,

ID00 to ID07

LSI controller 3 Resides in bus 41h, device 0, function 0 connects to eight drives,

ID00 to ID07

LSI controller 4 Resides in bus 42h, device 0, function 0 connects to eight drives,

ID00 to ID07

LSI Controller 5 Resides in bus 43h, device 0, function 0 connects to eight drives,

ID00 to ID07

BIOS shows the drives in F2 Setup as follows (this information is obtained from the LSI BIOS option ROM):

SCSI: #0200 ID00

SCSI: #0300 ID01

....

This means the SCSI controller is on bus 02h, device 0, function 0, drive ID 0, or the SCSI controller is on bus 03h, device 0, function 0, drive ID 1.
