How to Initiate a Reconfiguration Boot
After installing any new internal option or external storage device, you must
perform a reconfiguration boot so that the operating system is able to recognize the
newly installed device(s). In addition, if a qualified service technician removes a
device and does not install a replacement device prior to rebooting the system, you
must perform a reconfiguration boot in order for the operating system to recognize
the configuration change. This requirement also applies to any component that is
connected to the system’s I
2
C bus, including memory modules, CPU/Memory
boards, and power supplies.
This requirement does not apply to any component that is:
■ Installed or removed as part of a hot-plug operation
■ Installed or removed before the operating system is installed
■ Installed as an identical replacement for a component that is already recognized
by the operating system, excluding FCAL disk drives
Caution – All internal options (except disk drives and power supplies) must be
installed only by qualified service personnel. Installation procedures for these
components are covered in the Sun Fire V890 Server Service Manual, which is
included on the Sun Fire V890 Documentation CD.
Before You Begin
Caution – Before you power on the system, make sure that the front and side doors
and all plastic outer panels are properly installed.
You need a system console in order to issue software commands; see:
■ “About Setting Up a Console” on page 30
What to Do
1. Turn on power to any peripherals and external storage devices.
Read the documentation supplied with the device for specific instructions.
2. Turn on power to the console.
