Install the Server
For quick installation and configuration, follow these steps. For more detailed information, refer to the
complete online product documentation set.
Caution -
Do not apply power until instructed to do so.
This server includes a service processor (SP) that
configures and boots the host server. To properly configure the host server and view SP messages, do not
apply AC power to the server until you make the SP and host networking connections, as described in this
guide.
1.
Place the server in its intended location.
For rackmounting and CMA instructions, refer to the
SPARC T7-2 Server Installation Guide
.
2.
Before installing the server into the rack, install any optional components you plan to use
with the server that were not factory installed.
For instructions on installing optional components, refer to the documentation for each component and to the
SPARC T7-2 Server Service Manual
.
3.
Connect a serial cable between the server's SER MGT port and a terminal device.
This connection provides the initial communication with the SP. Set up the server to communicate using
9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit. For DTE-to-DTE communication, use a RJ-45 cable that is set up for a
null modem configuration, in which the transmit and receive signals cross over.
4.
(Optional) Connect an Ethernet cable between the server's NET MGT port and the network
to which future connections to the SP and host will be made.
Configure the server for the first time through the SER MGT port. After the initial configuration, you can set
up communication between the SP and host through this Ethernet interface.
5.
Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the server's NET ports and the network to which
the server will communicate.
6.
Connect the power cords to the power supplies and to separate power sources.
The server is equipped with two power supplies. Connect them to separate power sources (200 to 240 VAC)
to provide power redundancy. The server can operate with one power connection, but having only one power
source reduces the redundancy.
