Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation 5
Tip – Theserial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you
connect the power cables. As soon as AC power is connected to the system, the
service processor immediately powers on and runs diagnostics. Diagnostic test
failures will be printed on the serial terminal. For more information, refer to the
Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 Supplement for SPARCEnterprise T5140 and T5240
Servers.
6. Connect the data cables to the server, but do not connect the AC power cable yet.
See “Connecting the Server Cables for Both Servers” on page 31.
7. Connect the AC power cable to the server and examine the display for any error
messages. See “Powering On the System for the First Time” on page37.
Caution – There is a potential for electric shock if the server and related equipment
are not properly grounded.
Note – The service processor runs on the 3.3V standby voltage. As soon as AC
power is connected to the system, the service processor immediately powers on,
runs diagnostics, and initializes the ILOM firmware.
8. After the service processor boots, access the ILOM command-line interface (CLI)
throughthe serial management port. See “To Log Into the Service Processor Using
the Serial Management Port” on page45.
9. Configure the service processor network addresses. See “To Configure the Service
Processor Network Management Port” on page 47.
Note – The service processornetwork management port is not operational until you
configure network settings for the service processor(through the service processor
serial management port).
10. Commit the changes to the service processor network parameters. See Step 5 in
“ToPower On the System for the First Time” on page 38.
11. Power on the server from a keyboard using the ILOM software. See “To Power On
the System” on page 51.
12. Configure the Solaris OS. See “Booting the Solaris Operating System” on page 56.
The Solaris OS is preinstalled on the servers. When you power on, you are
automatically guided through the Solaris OS configuration procedure.
13. Install any required patches to the server.
