Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module Installation Guide • October 2010
Server Module Installation Task
Checklist
TABLE 1-4
summarizes an ordered list of tasks that you must perform to properly
install the server module into a Sun Blade 6000 Series Modular System.
Note –
If the Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module is inserted into a Sun Blade 6000
Modular System chassis that has SAS-1 Network Express Modules (NEMs), or SAS-
1 NEMs and a Sun Blade 6000 Disk Module, the server module’s SAS-2 REM might
hang. To prevent this problem, you need to upgrade the firmware of your SAS-1
components (SAS-NEMs and disk modules) to a firmware version that supports
SAS-1/SAS-2 coexistence. This upgrade must be done before you insert the Sun
Blade X6270 M2 Server Module into the chassis. At a minimum, all SAS expanders
for SAS-1 NEMs and Sun Blade 6000 Disk Modules must be upgraded to firmware
revision 5.04.03 to allow SAS-1/SAS-2 device coexistence in the Sun Blade 6000
Modular System chassis. See the
SAS-1/SAS-2 Compatibility Upgrade Guide
(821-1800)
for details on obtaining the firmware and performing the upgrade.
