This section provides information about the system hardware.
Server Locate LED
The Server Locate LEDs are a pair of small lights that you turn on to help you identify a specific server among many in a data center. One light is positioned on the front of the server in the upper-left corner, and the other light is on the back of the server in the lower-center section.
Hardware Port Locations
The ILOM communicates through the server's serial management port and through a dedicated Ethernet management port.
- FIGURE 1 shows the location of the serial port and the Ethernet management port.
- FIGURE 2 shows the serial port pin locations.
- FIGURE 3 shows the Ethernet management port pin locations.

How to Reset the Service Processor and BIOS Passwords
A procedure in the Sun Fire X4600 Server Service Manual, 819-4342 causes the Service Processor to reset the administration password and to clear the BIOS password.
- The administration (root) password becomes changeme.
- The BIOS password is cleared, so that when you attempt to access the BIOS setup utility, it does not prompt for a password.
See the Sun Fire X4600 Server Service Manual, 819-4342 for further details about resetting these passwords.
Temperature, Voltage, and Fan Sensors
The Sun Fire X4600/X4600 M2 servers include a number of sensors that generate entries in the system event log (SEL) when the sensor crosses a threshold. Many of these readings are used to adjust the fan speeds and perform other actions, such as illuminating LEDs and powering off the chassis.
These sensors can also be configured to generate IPMI PET traps as described in the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Administration Guide 819-1160.

|
Caution - Do not use any interface other than the ILOM CLI or WebGUI to alter the state or configuration of any sensor or LED. Doing so could void your warranty.

This section describes the sensors and provides details about their operation.

CPU Sensors
The system can have up to eight CPUs. The corresponding sensors are numbered 0 through 7, represented in the sensor names (below) with an X.
Because the CPUs in the system are attached to removable CPU modules, the internal numbering assigned to the CPUs by the system BIOS and SP does not always correspond to the same physical slot lettering, depending on the number of CPU modules that are installed.
|
Note - See the Sun Fire X4600 and Sun Fire X4600 M2 Servers Service Manual, 819-4342 for physical slot lettering and CPU module numbering designations for supported configurations.

This is an LED indicator sensor that shows the state of the corresponding DIMM fault LED, which is illuminated in response to ECC errors. This DIMM is part of PAIR 0 that also includes p0.d1.fail as part of the same 128-bit ECC memory pair. Both LEDs in the same pair will be illuminated at the same time when one indicates a fault.

CPU Module [0 through 7] Fan Control Temperature Sensors
Temperature sensors in this category are used as inputs to the fan control algorithm and will also be used to turn the system power off if they are non-recoverable. Their state also affects the state of the front panel LEDs. There are up to eight CPU modules. There are two temperature sensors on each CPU module, one for air intake and one for CPU core.
Because the CPUs in the system are attached to removable CPU modules, the internal numbering assigned to the CPUs by the system BIOS and SP does not always correspond to the same physical slot lettering, depending on the number of CPU modules that are installed.
