Input Power Information
The maximum operating input current values are based on the formula
P / (V *0.90), where P = maximum operating input power and V=input voltage. For
example: 620W / (100V * 0.90) = 6.89A. You can use this formula to calculate the
maximum operating current at your input voltage.

Handling Precautions
Caution – Deploy the anti-tilt bar on the equipment rack before beginning an
installation.
Caution – Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it will not
become top-heavy and tip over.
Caution – A fully configured SPARC T4-4 server weighs approximately 175 lb.
(79 kg). An equipment lift is required to lift and mount this server into a rack
enclosure when using the procedures in this document.
Caution – Always communicate your intentions clearly before, during, and after
each step of the rackmounting procedure to minimize confusion.
Related Information
■ “ESD Precautions” on page 13
ESD Precautions
Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. Use a grounded
antistatic wriststrap, footstrap, or equivalent safety equipment to prevent
electrostatic damage 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.

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. Use the show /SP/network command to verify that the parameters were set
correctly.
The following example shows parameters that have been set to convert a service
processor from a DHCP configuration to a static configuration.
-> show /SP/network
/SP/network

Note – After setting the configuration parameters, you must enter the set
/SP/network commitpending=true command for the new values to take affect.
4. Commit the changes to the service processor network parameters.
-> set /SP/network commitpending=true
Set 'commitpending' to 'true'
Note – You can run the show /SP/network command again (after performing the
set /SP/network commitpending=true command) to verify that the
parameters have been updated.
Booting the Oracle Solaris Operating
System
The Oracle Solaris OS is preinstalled on the server on the disk in slot 0. The Oracle
Solaris OS is not configured (that is, the sys-unconfig command was run in the
factory). If you boot the server from this disk, you will be prompted to configure the
Oracle Solaris OS for your environment.
After powering on the server for the first time, you can use Oracle VTS software to
verify the functionality and performance of any installed components, as well as its
network connections. For more information, refer to the Oracle VTS documentation
at:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=OracleVTS7.0
For more information about configuring the server and using the ILOM service
processor, refer to the SPARC T4-4 Server Installation Guide.

For more information about adding optional components, refer to the SPARC T4-4
Server Service Manual.
These topics describe the following tasks:
■ “Boot the Oracle Solaris Operating System” on page 56
■ “Avoid Booting the Oracle Solaris Operating System at Start Up” on page 57
■ “Reset the Server” on page 57
■ “Power Cycle the Server” on page 57

▼ Boot the Oracle Solaris Operating System
1. At the ok prompt, boot from the disk that contains the Oracle Solaris OS.
■ If you know which disk to boot from, skip this step and perform Step 2.
■ If you need to determine which disk to boot from, type the show-disks
command at the ok prompt to see the path to the configured disks, similar to
the following:
ok show-disks
a) /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk0
b) /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/storage@2/disk
q) NO SELECTION Enter Selection, q to quit: q
ok
2. Type the boot command at the ok prompt.
Use the value from Step 1 to construct the boot command. You must append the
target to the disk path.
In the following example, the server is booted from disk 0 (zero).
ok boot disk0
Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@0 File and args:

▼ Avoid Booting the Oracle Solaris Operating
System at Start Up
In hard drive HDD0, the Oracle Solaris OS is preinstalled.
● If you do not want to start the preinstalled OS, set the Open Boot PROM
parameter auto-boot? to false. For example:
-> set /HOST/bootmode script="setenv auto-boot? false"
▼ Reset the Server
● If it is necessary to reset the server, use the shutdown -g0 -i6 -y command.
# shutdown -g0 -i6 -y
It is not necessary to power the server off and on to simply reset the server.
▼ Power Cycle the Server
If a simple reset does not clear a system problem, you can power the server off and
on with this procedure.
1. Shut down the Oracle Solaris OS.
At the Oracle Solaris OS prompt, type the shutdown -g0 -i0 -y command.
Then type h when prompted to halt the Oracle Solaris OS and to return to the ok
prompt.
# shutdown -g0 -i0 -y
# svc.startd: The system is coming down. Please wait.
svc.startd: 91 system services are now being stopped.
Jun 12 19:46:57 wgs40-58 syslogd: going down on signal 15
svc.startd: The system is down.

2. Switch from the system console prompt to the service processor console prompt
by issuing the console escape sequence (by default, #.).
ok #.
->
3. Using the ILOM CLI, type the stop /SYS command to perform a graceful
shutdown of the server.
-> stop /SYS
Are you sure you want to stop /SYS (y/n)? y
Stopping /SYS
->
Note – To perform an immediate and ungraceful shutdown, use the stop -force
-script /SYS or stop -script /SYS commands. These commands stop
everything immediately. Ensure that all data is saved before entering these
commands.
4. Type the start /SYS command.
-> start /SYS
Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y
Starting /SYS
->
Note – To force a power-on sequence, use the start -script /SYS command.
5. Reconnect to the system console with the start /HOST/console command.
-> start /HOST/console
Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n)? y
Serial console started. To stop, type #.
The system console displays various messages, followed by the ok prompt.
