Sun Fire V440 Server Setup: Cabling and Power On
• March
2005
Caution –
Each outlet must connect the server to a 15A circuit for North America
and Japan, and to a 10A or 16A circuit for Europe. Consult local codes for additional
requirements. See instructions provided with your cabinet for information about the
power sequencer.
To ensure redundancy, connect cords to separate circuits or circuit breakers. The
Standby LED for each power supply is lit, indicating that power is being supplied.
As soon as you plug in the power cords, several boot messages from the ALOM
system controller are displayed on your system console device. The ALOM boot
messages end with the following:
4. At the ALOM prompt (
sc>
), enter the following command:
5. When prompted, create and then confirm an administrator password.
Once again, the
sc>
prompt is displayed.
6. At the ALOM prompt (
sc>
)
again
type the
console
command:
7. Press the Power button.
The server runs full diagnostics, which can take several minutes. Because the
auto-boot?
parameter is
true
by default, the server will attempt to boot and
install from the network. If no network boot server is found, the
ok
prompt is
displayed.
See the
Sun Fire V440 Server Installation Guide
for instructions on how to perform an
alternative power-on method. The Power OK LEDs on the back panel are lit when
the power supply is turned on.
Caution –
Never move the server when the server power is on. Movement can
cause catastrophic disk drive failure. Always power off the server before moving it.
