Lock the Memory Mezzanine Tray

For server systems that use a memory mezzanine tray (for example, the Sun Fire
X4450), you

must

lock the mezzanine tray before you install or move the server.

Caution –

Unsecured trays or cards are easily dislodged when shipped or moved.

See the top cover service label for instructions about securing the mezzanine
tray.

Test Installed DIMMs

Verify that the server can see all installed DIMMs.

How to Add a DVD/USB Drive

The server ships with filler panels for a vacant DVD drive slot and each vacant
HD slot.

You

must

install the DVD drive/USB hub

before

you install the hard drives.

Testing Installed Memory

DIMMs:

• Boot from the Tools and Drivers CD/DVD and access the diagnostics by

selecting the option to run hardware diagnostics (option 1).

• Log in to the service processor’s (SP) ILOM using ssh or a browser and the IP

address of the SP.

Adding a DVD/USB Drive Unit

Remove the DVD filler panel.

3

*

unit into the DVD slot and engage the connector on

the backplane.

* Use the -09 (or later) revision of the DVD/USB drive unit.

Populate the HD slots with hard drives or hard drive filler panels.

Test the DVD drive by booting the server using the Tools and Drivers DVD and
accessing the Pc-Check diagnostics.
