4 Sun Fire T1000 Server Installation Guide • January 2006
3. Install any optional Sun components shipped with your system. If you have
purchased other optional components such as additional memory, install them
prior to mounting the server in a rack. See “Optional Components” on page 3.
4. Mount the server into a rack or cabinet. See “To Install the Server in the Rack” on
page 19.
Note – In the rest of this document, the term rack means either an open rack or a
closed cabinet.
5. Connect the server to a serial terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation)
to display system messages. See “Powering On the System for the First Time” on
page 25.
Tip – The serial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you
connect the power cables, or you will not see the system messages. As soon as AC
power is connected to the system, the system controller immediately powers on,
runs diagnostics, and initializes the ALOM-CMT firmware. ALOM-CMT times out
after 60 seconds and the ALOM-CMT display disappears as it reverts to the system
console. For more information, refer to the Sun Fire T1000 Server Advanced Lights Out
Manager (ALOM) Guide.
6. Connect the data cables to the server, but do not connect the AC power cable yet.
See “Connecting the Server Cables” on page 20.
7. Connect the AC power cable to the server and examine the display for any error
messages. See “Powering On the System for the First Time” on page 25.
Caution – There is a potential for electric shock if the server and related equipment
are not properly grounded.
Note – The system controller (SC) runs on the 3.3v standby voltage. As soon as AC
power is connected to the system, the system controller immediately powers on,
runs diagnostics, and initializes the ALOM-CMT firmware.
8. After the system controller boots, access the ALOM-CMT command-line interface
through the serial management port. See “To Log Into the System Controller
Using the Serial Management Port” on page 27.
9. Configure the SC network management port. See “To Configure the System
Controller Network Management Port” on page 28.
