Power On the Server for the First Time
1. Confirm that you have completed all of the preparations for installation.
See the instructions in
“Confirming Server and Site Specifications” on page 1
.
2. Confirm that you have completed the installation of the server in its rack.
See the instructions in
“Installing the Server” on page 19
.
3. (Recommended) Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the server’s NET
ports and the network to which the server will communicate.
Note –
After the initial configuration of the system, communication with the SP and
host is usually performed through an Ethernet interface.
4. Plug the power cords into the power supplies and into separate power sources.
To provide redundancy, plug both power supplies into separate power sources.
The system can operate with only one power connection, but there is no
redundancy in this case.
The SP runs on the 3.3V standby voltage. As soon as AC power is connected to the
server, the SP powers on, runs diagnostics, and initializes the Oracle ILOM
firmware.
After a few minutes, the SP login prompt appears on the terminal device. The host
is not initialized or powered on yet.
5. At the terminal device, log in to the SP as
root
with a password of
changeme
.
6. Change the
root
password.
