Install Server Module and Verify STANDBY Power State
If inserted into a powered-on Sun Blade Modular System chassis, the server module, by default, receives
STANDBY power from the powered-on system chassis. For information about powering on the system chassis,
refer to the system chassis documentation. For more information about powering on the server module, refer to
the
Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module Installation Guide
. The following procedure assumes the chassis is
powered-on.
1. Verify that the system chassis is powered on.
When the chassis is powered on, the fans are operating and the OK/Power LED illuminates a STEADY ON
green light. The OK/Power LED is located on both the front and rear panels of the chassis.
2. At the front of the chassis, locate and remove the filler panel from the slot where you will insert the
server module. Pull the lever out and eject the filler panel.
3. Position the server module vertically so that the ejectors are on the right and extend outward.
4. Push the server module into the slot until the server module stops and is flush with the chassis.
5. To lock the server module into the chassis, rotate the top ejector down and the bottom ejector up until
both ejectors snap into place.
The ejectors are locked and STANDBY power is applied to the server module service processor (SP).
6. Verify STANDBY power state on the server module.
The server module SP can take several minutes to boot, during which the OK/Power LED on the server
module front panel illuminates a SLOW blink (0.5 second on, 0.5 second off). After the server module SP
boots, the OK/Power LED illuminates a STANDBY blink (0.1 second on, 2.9 seconds off). STANDBY blink
state indicates that STANDY power is supplied to the server module SP, the SP is active, and you can connect
to ILOM; however, the server module host is still powered off. Main power to the server module host must
be applied prior to installing an operating system.

Determine Your Method to Connect to ILOM
You can start, boot, and manage the server module using the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM)
software (formerly called Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager software) that runs on the server module’s service
processor (SP). You can also control the server module from ILOM running on the chassis monitoring module
(CMM).
The table on the following page lists the methods you can use to connect to ILOM. This guide provides
instructions for the local serial connection (method 3).
To log in to ILOM remotely over an Ethernet network (method 1 in the table), you must know the IP address of
the server module SP or CMM. By default, the IP address for the server module is assigned by a DHCP server
(for IPv4 configurations) or an IPv6 router (for IPv6 configurations).
In a typical configuration, you will accept the IP address assigned by the DHCP server or IPv6 router. If you are
not using DHCP or an IPv6 router, or if you need to assign the server module SP a static IP address for any other
reason, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Documentation Collection for instructions.
