●For an abrupt power off, press the left side of the On/Standby switch and hold it for at least four seconds.

Caution – This abruptly brings the system to Standby mode, regardless of the system state and might corrupt data on the hard drives.

Setting Up the Server

After powering on, you must set up your server using the SC setdate and setupnetwork commands described in this section.

This section contains the following topics:

■“To Set the Date and Time” on page 44

■“To Configure Network Parameters” on page 45

■“To Install and Boot the Solaris Operating System” on page 46

▼To Set the Date and Time

If your time zone area is using daylight or summer time, this is set automatically.

●Set the date, time, and time zone for the server by using the setdate command at the LOM prompt.

The following example shows setting the time zone to Pacific Standard Time (PST) using the offset from Greenwich mean time (GMT), date, and time to Tuesday, April 20, 2004 at 18 hours 15 minutes and 10 seconds.

lom>setdate -t GMT-8 042018152004.10

If Solaris software is running, use the Solaris date command instead.

For more information on the setdate command, see the Sun Fire Entry-Level Midrange System Controller Command Reference Manual, 819-1268.
