48 Sun Blade X6240 Server Module Installation Guide • June 2008
Before You Begin
Before you begin the initial setup of the preinstalled Windows Server 2003 R2
operating system, you should review the
“Hardware and Software Prerequisites” on
page 48 .
Hardware and Software Prerequisites
Ensure that the following hardware and software prerequisites are met prior to
powering on the server:
■
Properly Installed Sun Blade 6000 Modular System . At this point of the
installation, you should have already unpacked the server module, installed the
server options, and installed the server into the chassis.
■
RAID Considersations . By default, the Sun-supplied disk drives are shipped
without a hardware RAID configuration. If you want to make the preinstalled OS
part of a RAID while preserving the data on the drive, you can optionally
partition the drive with a mirrored RAID set (also known as LSI hardware RAID
Level 1). You can perform the mirrored RAID set before or after the configuration
of the Windows preinstalled image. For more information about hardware RAID
configurations, see
“Configuring X6240 Server Module RAID Drives” on page 50 .
■
Windows Media Recovery User’s Guide
. Refer to the Sun x64 Servers Windows
Server 2003 R2 Recovery Installation Guide (820-3674-10) if you need instructions for
recovering the preinstalled Windows image on your server. This guide is
available online at:

Establish a Console Connection to the Sun Blade
Server Module
You must establish one of the following console connections to the Sun Blade server
module to complete the initial setup of the the preinstalled Windows operating
system:
■
Sun ILOM (via ILOM web interface). For more information about establishing a
console connection using Sun ILOM, see “Option 3: Connecting to ILOM Through
the Ethernet Port” on page 19 .
■
Local VGA Console . Video output for the Windows preinstalled image is, by
default, directed to the VGA port. For more information about attaching a VGA
monitor to the server module, see
“Option 2: Connecting to ILOM Through a
Dongle Cable” on page 18 .
