Caution – The ports of this equipment or subassembly are suitable for connection to

intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the
equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the outside plant wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE,
Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed outside plant cabling. The addition of
primary protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces
metallically to outside plant wiring.

Related Information

■ “Input Power Information” on page 7

■ “Overcurrent Protection Requirements” on page 8

■ “DC Power Source, Power Connection, and Grounding Requirements” on page 8

Input Power Information

The total input power for the server is divided equally among the power supplies in
operation. Reversing the positive and negative inputs to the power supplies of a DC
input server will not cause damage. However, the power supplies with reversed
input will not operate.

The inputs to a power supply are isolated from the server chassis and the other
power supply inputs. The AC or DC power inputs might be at different voltages
within the acceptable range and might have different offset voltages relative to the
server chassis.

Note – The server does not require an additional surge protector for the AC or DC

power configurations if the facility has a surge protector that limits voltage surges to
less than 2000 volts. You can, however, install a surge protector if your site requires
an additional protector.

Caution – Safety agency requirements prohibit Oracle Corporation from changing a

product from AC input to DC input or from DC input to AC input after the product
has been removed from the agency approved manufacturing site.

■ “DC Power Source, Power Connection, and Grounding Requirements” on page 8

Overcurrent Protection Requirements

This product does not provide branch circuit overcurrent protection as defined by the
U.S. NEC. To comply with the U.S. NEC, you must install this product on branch
circuits that have overcurrent protection as defined by Article 240 of the U.S. NEC.

■ Product power inputs with a current ratings of 16A or less must have a branch

circuit, or a supplementary overcurrent protection device, rated at no more than
20A.

■ Product power inputs with current ratings of more than 16A must have a branch

circuit, or a supplementary overcurrent protection device, rated at no more than
160% of the product input current rating.

■ Other national or local electrical codes might apply to the installation of this

product.

As a general guideline, overcurrent protection devices should be rated at a minimum
of 125% of the product input current rating in order to provide reliable power under
high temperature and transient voltage disturbance conditions. However, you must
consider the characteristics of the protection device and the applicable electrical
codes when selecting the rating of a protection device for the product installation.

Note – Overcurrent protection devices must meet applicable national and local

electrical safety codes, and be approved for the intended application.

■ “DC Power Source, Power Connection, and Grounding Requirements” on page 8

DC Power Source, Power Connection, and
Grounding Requirements

The server power source and connections must meet the following requirements:

8 Netra SPARC T3-1 Server Installation Guide • August 2013

Caution – The DC power source must be reliably grounded. The server chassis must

be grounded with the power supply ground pins or with the chassis ground studs. It
is acceptable to have both grounds connected.

Note – The DC version of the server must be installed in a restricted-access location.

According to the intent of the U.S. NEC, National Electrical Code, a restricted-access
location is an area intended for qualified or trained personnel only and has access
controlled by a locking mechanism, such as a key lock or an access card system.

Caution – You must restrict the connection of the server to the DC power source to

minimize the possibility that transient energy will appear on the main input to the
equipment. The DC battery power source must be in the same premises as the server.
The server cannot be in one building with the power source in another building.

■ Suitable conductor material: Use copper conductors only.

■ Power supply connections through the input connector: 8 AWG (between the

server and the source). There are three conductors:

■ -48V or -60V (negative terminal, might be marked with a minus (-) symbol).

■ Chassis ground connection (optional if chassis ground wire is connected).

■ -48V or -60V return (positive terminal, might be marked with a plus (+)

symbol).

■ Server chassis ground 8 AWG conductor (optional if power supply grounds are

connected).

■ Cable insulation rating: Minimum of 75˚C (167˚F). (Low smoke fume (LSF), flame

retardant insulation might be required in some installations.)

■ Use mating connectors, Wago part number 51204745, for proper connection to the

product DC inputs. Connectors are included in the server’s shipping kit.

■ Branch circuit cable insulation color: According to applicable national electrical

codes.

■ Grounding cable insulation color: Green/yellow.

■ DC power source must meet TNV-2 requirements as defined by UL 60950-1 and

IEC 60950-1.

Cooling Zones and Airflow Clearance

Note – Proper airflow into and out of the server is essential for keeping the server’s

internal temperatures within a safe operating range.

The server draws cool air from the front of the server and expels hot air out the rear.
To avoid overheating the server:

■ Ensure that inlet air enters at the front of the server and exits from the back.

■ Ensure unobstructed airflow through the server.

■ Do not direct warm air toward the front air intake of the server.

■ Prevent recirculation of exhaust air within a rack or cabinet.

■ Manage cables to minimize interfering with the server exhaust vent.

■ Ensure that the server ventilation openings used for intake and outflow of air

provide an open area that is at least 60% of the open area perforations across the
front and rear of the server.

■ Allow a minimum of 5 mm (0.2 in.) clearance at the front of the system and 80 mm

(3.1 in.) at the rear of the server when mounted. These clearance values are based
on the preceding inlet and exhaust impedance (available open area) and assume a
uniform distribution of the open area across the inlet and exhaust areas. Clearance
values greater than these are recommended for improved cooling performance.

Note – Be mindful that the combination of inlet and exhaust restrictions, such as

cabinet doors and the spacing of the server from the doors, can affect the cooling
performance of the server.

Shipping Kit Inventory List

Note – When you receive your server, place it in the environment where you will

install it. Leave the server in its shipping crate at its final destination for 24 hours.
This resting period prevents thermal shock and condensation.

Verify that you have received all of the components that ship with your server.

ESD Precautions

Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. Use a grounded
antistatic wrist strap, foot strap, or equivalent safety equipment to prevent ESD when
you install or service the server.

Caution – To protect electronic components from electrostatic damage, which can

permanently disable the server or require repair by service technicians, place
components on an antistatic surface, such as an antistatic discharge mat, an antistatic
bag, or a disposable antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic grounding strap connected to a
metal surface on the chassis when you work on server components.

Optional Component Installation

The standard components of the server are installed at the factory. However, if you
ordered options such as additional memory or PCIe cards, these options will be
shipped separately. If possible, install these components prior to installing the server
in a rack. Optional components (for example, PCIe cards) ordered as part of the
system are installed in the server at the factory.

If you ordered any options that are not factory-installed, see Netra SPARC T3-1 Server
Service Manual and the component’s documentation for installation instructions.

Rack Cautions

Caution – Equipment Loading. Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom

up so that the rack will not become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s
antitip bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.

Caution – Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature. If the server is installed in a

closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment might be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the
equipment only in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma) specified for the server.

Caution – Reduced Air Flow. Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of

air flow is adequate for the safe operation of the equipment.

Caution – Mechanical Loading. Mount the equipment in the rack so that the weight

is distributed evenly. A hazardous condition can exist with uneven mechanical
loading.

20 Netra SPARC T3-1 Server Installation Guide • August 2013

Caution – Circuit Overloading. Do not overload the power supply circuits. Before

connecting the server to the supply circuit, review the equipment nameplate power
ratings and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring.

Caution – Reliable Grounding. Maintain reliable grounding of rackmounted

equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).

Caution – Do not use slide rail mounted equipment as a shelf or a work space.

Related Information

■ “Stabilize the Rack for Installation” on page 21

▼ Stabilize the Rack for Installation

Caution – To reduce the risk of personal injury, stabilize the expansion rack cabinet

and extend all antitilt devices before installing the server.

Refer to your rack documentation for detailed instructions for the following steps.

1. Open and remove the front and rear doors from the rack cabinet.

2. To prevent the rack cabinet from tipping during the installation, stabilize the
cabinet using all antitilt mechanisms provided.

3. If there are leveling feet beneath the rack cabinet to prevent it from rolling,
extend these leveling feet fully downward to the floor.

4. Fully extend the rack cabinet’s antitilt legs or antitilt bar, which are located at
the bottom front of the rack cabinet.

▼ Prepare the Power Cords

Prepare the power cords by routing them from the power source to the server.

Caution – Do not attach power cables to the power supplies until you have first

connect the server to a serial terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation).

Note – The server goes into Standby mode and the ILOM service processor

initializes as soon as a power cable connects a power supply to an external power
source. System messages might be lost after 60 seconds if a terminal or terminal
emulator is not connected to the SER MGT port before power is applied.

Note – ILOM will signal a fault if both power supplies are not cabled at the same

time, since that situation will be a nonredundant condition.

1. Ensure that the +circuit breakers are off on the AC power source or that the DC
input cables are de-energized with no DC power present.

▼ Assign a Static IP to the NET MGT Port

Use this procedure only when:

■ You are unable to use DHCP on your network.

■ You must modify the NET MGT port settings.

In this procedure, you connect to the SER MGT port to manually reconfigure the NET
MGT port to use a static IP address.

Note – For more information on configuring ILOM, refer to Netra SPARC T3-1 Server

Administration Guide.

1. Set these network parameters according to the specific details of your network
configuration.

Parameter Description

/SP/network state Specifies whether or not the service processor

is on the network.

/SP/network pendingipaddress IP address of the service processor.

/SP/network pendingipgateway IP address of the gateway for the subnet.

/SP/network pendingipnetmask Netmask for the service processor subnet.

/SP/network pindingipdiscovery Specifies whether the service processor uses

DHCP or static IP address assignment.

/SP/network commitpending Commits the service processor to use the

pending settings

Configure these parameters using the set command. For example:

-> set /host/network pendingaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Set ‘pendingaddress’ to ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’

2. Configure the service processor using information from your network
administrator.

Parameter Description

dhcp Set up the network connection with a dynamically created IP

configuration.

static Set up the network connection with a static IP configuration.

Powering On the Server for the First Time 85

a. If you choose to use a dynamically created IP address (use DHCP to retrieve

the network setting), set pendingipdiscovery to dhcp.

-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=dhcp
Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'dhcp'

b. If you choose to configure a static IP configuration, set the parameters

pendingipdiscovery, pendingipaddress, pendingipgateway, and
pendingipnetmask as follows.

i. Set the service processor to accept a static IP address:

-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static
Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'static'

ii. Set the IP address for the service processor:

-> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=service-processor-IPaddr
Set 'pendingipaddress' to 'service-processor-IPaddr'

iii. Set the IP address for the service processor gateway.

-> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=gateway-IPaddr
Set 'pendingipgateway' to 'gateway-IPaddr'

iv. Set the netmask for the service processor:

-> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
Set 'pendingipnetmask' to '255.255.255.0'

This example uses 255.255.255.0 to set the netmask. Your network
environment subnet might require a different netmask. Use a netmask
number most appropriate to your environment.

3. Verify that the parameters were set correctly.
