Server Module Installation and Power-On
25
■
The server module SP default power-on state prior to ILOM 1.1.5 is controlled in
the BIOS. The earlier server module BIOS firmware power-on state was shipped
enabled causing the server module to automatically power on with main power
upon receiving power from the chassis.
Note –
Server module and EM connections are powered on and off as a pair. When
power is disabled on a server module, it is also disabled on its associated EM (if an
EM is configured). EMs are not supported in the Sun Blade 8000 P chassis.
Note –
You can power server modules on or off from ILOM as soon as network
connectivity to the system is established. To power a server module on or off from
ILOM, connect to the server module IP address and log in to ILOM, then select
Remote Power -> Remote Power Contro
l for the server module.
Attach Local Devices to Server Module
Each server module provides one VGA port, two USB ports, and one serial port.
These local server module ports enable direct communication with the server
module. For instance, the VGA and USB ports enable you to communicate with the
server module BIOS and OS. The server module serial port enables you to
communicate with the server module service processor, and also the host serial
COM1.
Direct management of an individual server is through the embedded server module
service processor, Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM). Access to the server
module service processor is via the local serial port or the chassis monitoring
module (CMM) management network. For more information about server module-
level or chassis-level management, see the
