■
Clearance width (between structural supports and cable troughs) between front
and rear mounting planes at least 456 mm (18 inches).
Caution –
Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that the rack
will not become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s anti-tilt bar to prevent
the rack from tipping during equipment installation.
Caution –
Ensure that the temperature in the rack does not exceed the server’s
maximum ambient rated temperatures. Consider the total airflow requirements of all
equipment installed in the rack, to ensure that the equipment is operated within its
specified temperature range.
Connecting the Cables
See
FIGURE 1-2
and
TABLE 1-1
for the locations of the connectors.

To Connect the Cables
Connect the server and external devices as follows:
1. Connect a serial null modem cable to the serial port.
The default serial port speed is 9600 baud with no flow control.
2. Connect Ethernet cables to the RJ-45 LAN Gigabit Ethernet connectors as
needed (see
FIGURE 1-2
).
Note the following guidelines regarding the Ethernet (LAN) ports:
■
The Network Management (NET MGT) Ethernet port or the Serial Management /
RS-232-F RJ-45 serial port can be used for server management and network access.
See
“Setting Up the Sun Fire X2250 Server Software” on page 13
for additional
information about setting up the service processor for remote system
management.
■
The two Gigabit Ethernet ports (LAN-0 and LAN-1) are the primary network
interface controllers (NICs) and should be used for network installation of the
operating system and drivers.
