1.4 Powering On and Powering Off the
Server
You have to apply only standby power to the server at this point so that you can
perform initial configuration of the service processor. Procedures for powering on to
main power mode and for shutting down from main power mode are also included in
this section.
1.4.1 To Apply Standby Power for Initial Service
Processor Configuration
Use this procedure to apply standby power to the service processor (SP) before initial
configuration.
Caution – Do not operate the server without all fans, component heatsinks, air
baffles, and the cover installed. Severe damage to server components can occur if
operated without adequate cooling mechanisms.
1. Connect grounded AC power cord to the AC power connector on the back panel of
the server and to grounded AC power outlets.
Note –
At this point, standby power is supplied only to the service processor and
power supply fans. You can proceed to Chapter 2 of this guide to begin initial
configuration. Do not apply main power to the rest of the server until you are ready
to install a platform operating system.
2. Continue with initial software setup tasks, as described in Sun Fire X2100 M2
Server Installation Guide .
