Safety and Compliance Information
Before performing an installation of the Sun Fire X4540 server, refer to the Safety and Compliance Guide and the Important Safety Information for Sun Hardware Systems, (included in the ship kit).
Connecting the Cables
After unpacking and rack mounting the system, attach cables to the available input-output (I/O) ports on the Sun Fire X4540 server. Attach cables to the back panel connectors of your server as required. See FIGURE 1.

The PSU cover plate will be updated. |
Powering On and Powering Off the Server
The server has two levels of power: standby power and main power. For initial configuration of the service processor (SP), you need to apply standby power. The procedures for powering on to main power mode and for shutting down from main power mode are also included in this section.
To Apply Standby Power for Initial Service Processor (SP) Configuration
Use this procedure to apply standby power to SP before initial configuration.
1. Connect a grounded AC power cord into the two AC power connectors on the back panel of the server and into grounded AC (200 VAC to 240 VAC) power outlets.
| Note - This system is shipped for operation at 220 VAC. 110 VAC operation with a third PSU will be available as an orderable option. |
Continue with initial software setup tasks, as explained in Connecting to the ILOM Service Processor
|
Powering On Main Power Mode
1. Verify that power cords have been connected and that standby power is on. In standby power mode, the Power/OK LED on the front panel blinks.
| Note - See the service label on the hard disk drive access cover for an explanation of the LEDs on the hard disk drives, fans, power supply, and system controller. |
2. Use a stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the server front panel.
| Note - When main power is applied to the server, the Power/OK LED next to the Power button lights and remains lit. The power-on self-test (POST) can take up to a minute to complete. |
|
To power off the server from main power mode, use one of the following two methods:
- Graceful shutdown: Use a stylus to press and release the Power button on the front panel. This causes Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled operating systems to perform an orderly shutdown of the operating system. Servers not running ACPI-enabled operating systems will go to standby power mode immediately.
- Emergency shutdown: Press and hold the Power button for four seconds to force the main power off and to enter standby power mode.When main power is off, the Power/OK LED on the front panel will begin blinking, indicating that the server is in standby power mode.
|
Caution - To power off the server completely, you must disconnect the AC power cords from the power supplies at the rear of the server. |
Connecting to the ILOM Service Processor
Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is system management firmware that is preinstalled on your server. ILOM enables you to manage and monitor components installed in your server system.
Use one of the following methods to connect 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 a Static IP Address
Detailed installation information can be found in the orderable option, Sun Fire X4500/X4540 Installation Guide.
