Preparing for Installation and Power On
Preparing for Installation and Power On
Setting up the server for the first time takes about 1 hour. Plan for additional time if you are also
installing optional components and rackmounting hardware.
Caution - Do not apply full main power until instructed to do so. The server includes a
service processor (SP) that is used to configure and boot the host server. To properly configure
the host server and to view SP messages, do not apply AC power to the server until the SP and
host networking connections are made, as described in this guide.
Prepare to Install the Server
1.
Choose the best way to set up your server environment.
The instructions in this guide work for any networking environment and require a terminal
device for connecting to the server's serial management port (SER MGT). If you have a
networking environment running Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP), you can configure
your network using the Ethernet management port (NET MGT).
2.
Obtain a terminal device.
To communicate with the SP, you need a terminal device, which can be terminal, a
terminal server, or a laptop running terminal emulation software. Set up the terminal
device to communicate using 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, and 1 stop bit. For DTE-to-DTE
communication, use the supplied RJ-45 crossover adapters with a standard RJ-45 cable to set up
a null modem configuration so that transmit and receive signals are crossed over.
Connecting Cables and Power Cords
The following procedure explains how to cable the server for the first time, and then how to
connect to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) service processor (SP) using a
serial connection.
You can also connect to Oracle ILOM using one of these methods:
■
Dedicated remote network management connection – For information, see “Log In to
Oracle ILOM Using a Remote Ethernet Connection” on page 85.
■
Remote sideband management connnection – For information, refer to "Sideband
Network Management Connection" in the Oracle ILOM Administrator's Guide for
