Prepare the Server
1. After you remove the server from the box, place it on a mechanical lift if one is available.
Caution –
Do not attempt to move the server alone without a lift. At a minimum, the main
components must be removed, and two people are required to move the server without a lift.
2. Remove all of the processor modules, the main module, the power supplies, the fans, and the PCIe
carriers.
For instructions on how to remove these components, refer to the
SPARC T5-4 Server Service Manual
.
3. Install any PCIe adapters that need to be installed in the PCIe carriers.
For instructions on how to install these components, refer to the
Sparc T5-4 Server Service Manual
.
4. Install the installation brackets onto the rack.
For instructions on how to install the brackets, refer to the
SPARC T5-4 Server Installation Guide
.

Install the Server
For quick installation and configuration, follow these steps. For more detailed information, refer to the complete
online product documentation set.
Caution –
Do not apply power until instructed to do so.
– This system includes a service processor
(SP) that is used to configure and boot the host server. To properly configure the host server and view
SP messages, do not apply AC power to the server until you make the SP and host networking
connections, as described in this guide.
1. Install the server in its intended location.
For rackmounting and cable management instructions, refer to the
SPARC T5-4 Server Installation Guide
.
2. Replace all of the components that you removed.
For instructions on how to install these components, refer to the
Sparc T5-4 Server Service Manual
.
3. Install any optional components that you plan to use with the server that were not factory installed.
For instructions on installing optional components, refer to the documentation for each component and to
the
SPARC T5-4 Server Service Manual.
4. Connect a serial cable between the server’s SER MGT port and a terminal device.
This connection provides the initial communication with the SP. Set up the server to communicate using 9600
baud, 8 bit, no parity, 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.
5. (Optional) Connect an Ethernet cable between the server’s NET MGT port and the network to which
future connections to the SP and host will be made.
Configure the system for the first time through the SER MGT port. After the initial configuration, you can set
up communication between the SP and host through this Ethernet interface.
