Sun Microsystems Sun Fire X4150 Server Manuel utilisateur
1
This guide describes the minimum steps you must perform to power on and boot your server for the first time.
Detailed installation information can be found in the Installation Guide for each server, which is available at the
Sun product documentation web site. Refer to the section “Documentation for This Product” at the end of this
document for a list of documentation for your system and location of the documentation.
Contents
The Sun FireTM X4150, X4250, and X4450 servers are shipped with the components that you ordered for your
configuration. Optional components or rack installation hardware might be packaged and shipped separately.
Documentation and Media Kit
The Documentation and Media Kit is an orderable option for your server. It contains installation documentation,
the Tools and Drivers CD/DVD, the Sun Installation Assistant CD/DVD, and the SunVTS CD/DVD. You can
order additional media kits at any time, using the following marketing part numbers: Sun Fire X4150: X6438A;
Sun Fire X4250: X6369A; and Sun Fire X4450: X6439A.
Safety and Compliance Information
Before performing an installation, refer to the following documents for safety information:
■Important Safety Information for Sun Hardware Systems – Printed document included in the ship kit.
■Safety and Compliance Guide - Available on the product documentation site.
▼Install Optional Components
Before installing the server into the rack, you must first install any optional components that you ordered with
the server, such as DIMMs, PCIe cards, and so on. Refer the Service Manual for your server for instructions on
about installing optional components.
▼Mount the Server in a Rack
For rackmounting instructions, refer to the instructions included with the rail kit, the service label on the server,
and the server Installation Guide.

▼Connect the Cables
1. Connect a serial cable between the server’s SER MGT port (FIGURE 1) and a serial terminal device.
This connection provides your initial communication with the service processor (SP). The device must be set
up to communicate using 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit. A null modem configuration is needed,
meaning the transmit and receive signals are reversed (crossed over) for DTE to DTE communications. You
can use the supplied RJ-45 crossover adapter with a standard RJ-45 cable to achieve the null modem
configuration. (FIGURE 1 shows the Sun Fire X4150 server. The locations of the connectors and ports are the
same on the Sun Fire X4250 and X4450 servers.)
FIGURE 1 Back Panel of Server (Server Connections)
2. (Optional) Connect an Ethernet cable between the server’s NET MGT port and the network to which
future connections to the SP will be made.
After the initial configuration of the system using the SER MGT port, communication with the SP is usually
performed through this Ethernet interface.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the server’s NET ports (NET 0, 1, 2, or 3) and the network to
which the server will communicate.
4. Connect the power cords to the AC power connectors and, to enhance redundancy, connect the cords to
separate power sources.
When power is applied, the SP initializes and the Power/OK LED (FIGURE 2) flashes. After a few minutes,
the SP Login prompt appears on the terminal device. Note that the server is not initialized or powered on
yet. You can now set up the ILOM.
ILOM Connection Options
This section describes the tasks for initial setup of SP and Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) software. Refer
to the installation guide for your server and the ILOM 3.0 documentation for instructions on using ILOM to
configure and manage the server.
There are three methods for connecting to the ILOM SP to perform initial setup and configuration:
■Connect to ILOM using a serial connection
■Connect to ILOM using an Ethernet connection (DHCP)
■Connect to ILOM using an Ethernet connection (static IP address)

The method for connecting to ILOM using a serial connection is given in this document; for the remaining
methods, refer to the Installation Guide for your server.
Note – The connection options described in this document assume that ILOM 3.0 is installed on your server.
Earlier versions of ILOM are available for all Sun Fire X4x50 servers and Embedded LOM (ELOM) is also
available for the Sun Fire X4150 and X4450 servers. The documentation for all supported LOM versions are
available in your server’s documentation set.
▼Connect to ILOM Using a Serial Connection
1. Verify that your terminal, laptop, or terminal server is operational.
2. If not already configured, configure the terminal device or terminal emulation software running on a
laptop or PC. For information, see “Connect the Cables.”
3. If not already connected, connect a serial cable from the RJ-45 SER MGT port (FIGURE 1) on the server’s
back panel to a terminal device. For information, see “Connect the Cables.”
4. Press Enter on the terminal device to establish a connection between the terminal device and the
ILOM SP.
5. At the ILOM Login prompt, log in to ILOM.
The default user name is root; the default password is changeme.
▼Register the System
1. Locate the serial number for your system on the EZ label or on the customer information sheet that came
with the system.
2. Go to the following web site to register your system:
http://www.sun.com/service/warranty/index.xml#reg
▼Power On the System
Use this procedure to apply main power to the server. Do not apply main power to the server until you are
ready to install a platform operating system.
Caution – Do not operate the server without all fans, component heatsinks, air baffles, and the cover
installed. Severe damage to server components can occur if operated without adequate cooling
mechanisms.
1. Verify that the power cord has been connected (FIGURE 1) and that standby power is on.
At this point, standby power is supplied only to the service processor and power supply fans.
In standby power mode, the Power/OK LED on the server’s front panel flashes. (FIGURE 2 shows the Sun
Fire X4150 server. The Sun Fire X4250 and X4450 server front panel controls are the same as Sun Fire X4150
controls.)

2. To power on the server, use a non-metallic stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the
front panel.
The server powers on and enters the power-on self-test (POST). The Power/OK LED lights and remains on.
Note – POST can take up to 1 minute to complete.
3. Continue with initial software setup tasks, as described in the server Installation Guide.
▼Set Up the Platform Operating System, Driver Software, and Firmware
After configuring the ILOM SP with network settings, you can configure a preinstalled or supported OS.
Sun Installation Assistant
Sun highly recommends using the Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) to automate firmware upgrades and to
install a supported Linux or Windows operating system.
To determine which operating systems and firmware upgrades are supported by SIA for your system and to
download SIA, go to http://www.sun.com/systemmanagement/sia.jsp. SIA is also available in the
Documentation and Media Kit.
Also refer to the Sun Installation Assistant for Windows and Linux User’s Guide (820-3357) at
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/install.x64svr#hic.
Operating System, Firmware and Driver Information
For information about operating systems supported for your system, go to:
http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4x50/os.jsp
For firmware and driver downloads go to:
http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4x50/downloads.jsp
where x4x50 is x4150, x4250, or x4450.
