Preface

The Sun Fire X4150 Server Embedded Lights Out Manager Administration Guide provides instructions for managing Sun servers using the Sun Fire X4150 server (ELOM) with the service processor.

How This Document Is Organized

Chapter 1 describes the Embedded Lights Out Manager from an architectural standpoint and indicates tasks that can be accomplished with the management software.

Chapter 2 details the physical connections and how to communicate with your Sun Fire X4150 server.

Chapter 3 describes how to use the web-based interface to monitor your server with the embedded system management software.

Chapter 4 provides information about configuring, managing and maintaining the server system with a web browser.

Chapter 5 describes how to use the remote console through the web-based interface.

Chapter 6 describes the Intelligent Platform Interface (IPMI) and how it can be used to manage field replaceable units (FRUs) and system health independently of the operating system.

Chapter 7 provides an alternative method of managing your server—through the command-line interface (CLI).

Chapter 8 helps you understand the basics of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and how it is important to your server management.
