Tools and Equipment Needed

To install the system, you must have the following tools:

• No. 2 Phillips screwdriver

• ESD mat and grounding strap

In addition, you must provide a system console device, such as one of the following:

• ASCII terminal

• Workstation

• Terminal server

• Patch panel connected to a terminal server

Shipping Kit Inventory List

Inspect the shipping cartons for evidence of physical damage. If a shipping carton appears damaged, request that the carrier’s agent be present when the carton is opened. Keep all contents and packing material for the agent’s inspection.

Verify that you have received all of the parts of your server:

• Server chassis

• Rackmount kit

• Miscellaneous hardware, cables, and connectors

• Optional cable management arm with six preinstalled cable clips and installation instructions

ESD Precautions

Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. Use a grounded antistatic wriststrap, footstrap, or equivalent safety equipment to prevent electrostatic damage (ESD) when you install or service the servers.

---

Caution - To protect electronic components from electrostatic damage, which can permanently disable the system or require repair by service technicians, place components on an antistatic surface, such as an antistatic discharge mat, an antistatic bag, or a disposable antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic grounding strap connected to a metal surface on the chassis when you work on system components.

Power Information

Reversing the positive and negative inputs to the power supplies of a DC input system will not cause damage, but the power supplies with reversed inputs will not operate.

The inputs to a power supply are isolated from the system chassis and from the other power supply inputs. The AC or DC power inputs might have different voltage values within the acceptable range, and the inputs might have different offset voltage values relative to the system chassis.

---

Note - The DC power source must be grounded reliably.

Installation Overview

This installation guide provides procedures that are to be performed in the following order.

1. Verify that you have received all of the components that shipped with your server.

2. Gather configuration information for your system.

   See your system administrator for specific details, including these parameters:

   • Netmask

   • IP address for the service processor

   • Gateway IP address

3. Install any additional components.

   If you have additional components such as additional memory or PCI cards, install them prior to mounting the server in a rack.

4. Mount the server into the rack.

   Caution - The Sun Netra X4450 server weighs approximately 64 lbs (32 kg). Two people are required to lift and mount this 4U server into a rack enclosure.

   ---

   Caution - When completing a two-person procedure, always communicate your intentions clearly before, during, and after each step to minimize confusion.

   ---

   
   

5. Connect the server to a serial terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to display system messages.

   
   

   ---

   Caution - The serial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you connect the power cables. As soon as 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 Management 2.0 (ILOM 2.0) Supplement for the Sun Netra X4450 Server.

6. Connect the data cables to the server, but do not connect the power cable yet.

7. Connect the power cable to the server and examine the display for any error messages.

   
   

   ---

   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 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) through the serial management port

9. Configure the service processor network addresses.

   
   

   ---

   Note - The service processor network 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.

11. Power on the server from a keyboard using the ILOM software.

12. Configure the Solaris OS.

    The Solaris OS is preinstalled on the server. When you power on, you are automatically guided through the Solaris OS configuration procedure.

13. Install any required patches.

    Refer to the Sun Netra X4450 Server Product Notes for a list of required patches.

14. Load additional software from the Solaris media kit (optional).

    The Solaris media kit (sold separately) includes several CDs containing software to help you operate, configure, and administer your server. Refer to the documentation provided with the media kit for a complete listing of included software and detailed installation instructions.
