Fujitsu M10-4 - Precautions for Installation

CPU clocks.
Note the following point when replacing a PCIe card:
■
For active maintenance by PHP, a multipath setting is necessary depending on the
use of the PCIe cards.
■
For active maintenance by PHP, confirm that the card is PHP supported. To do so,
check "Appendix A Cards that Support PCI Hot Plug and Dynamic Reconfig uratio n "
in the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems PCI Card Installation Guide.To perform
active replacement using PHP combined with dynamic SR-IOV and the dynamic
reconfiguration function of PCIe end point devices, check the applicable cards by
referring to "Appendix B Cards that Support SR-IOV" or "Appendix D Cards
that support the dynamic
reassignment function for the PCIe end point device
(PCIe card)" in the same manual.
Note the following points when replacing the operation panel:
■
To replace the operation panel, remove the PSU backplane from the chassis.
■
To replace the operation panel, set the BB-ID of the replacement operation panel to
the same value as that before replacement.
4.3.2 Precautions for installation
Note the following points when performing CPU memory unit upper or memory
installation:
■
When installing a CPU memory unit upper, remove the filler unit. Store the
removed filler unit in a safe place because it will be needed if you subsequently
remove the CPU memory unit upper.
■
If PCI Express cables are not connected to the CPU memory unit lower, you need
to add PCI Express cables.
■
If PCI Express cables are connected to the CPU memory unit lower, you need to
add only one PCI Express cable.
■
If the CPU memory unit upper for the 2CPU configuration of the SPARC
M10-4/M10-4S is installed, the root complex is also installed. Then, due to the I/O
bus reconfiguration function
(*1)
, the I/O bandwidth increases, and the PCIe card
installation rules
(*2)
change. In addition, the I/O bus reconfiguration also changes
the device path of the I/O device
(*3)
, so you may have to reconfigure the logical
domains.
■
The type of CPU memory unit varies depending on the number of CPU clocks.
They cannot be mixed in the same device, but they can be mixed in a system with
a building block configuration.
■
Observe the memory installation rules when you expand memory. For details, see
"2.2.1 Memory installation rules."
■
When you expand memory by 64 GB, apply XCP 2090 or later.
