Powering On and Configuring BIOS Settings |
This chapter contains the following procedures and information:
Note - The information in this chapter applies to all Sun Fire X4100/X4100 M2 and X4200/X4200 M2 servers, unless otherwise noted. |
Note - Before powering on your server for the first time, follow the installation and cabling instructions provided in the Sun Fire X4100/X4200 Servers Installation Guide, which is shipped with the system and is also available online at: http://www.sun.com/documentation |
1. Verify that power cords have been connected to the server's power supplies and that standby power is on.
In standby power mode, the Power/OK LED on the front panel flashes, indicating that the service processor is working and the system is ready to be fully powered on to main power mode. See FIGURE 2-1 orFIGURE 2-2 for the LED location.
2. Use a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the server front panel which is shown in FIGURE 2-1 or FIGURE 2-2.
When main power is applied to the full server, the Power/OK LED next to the Power button lights and remains lit.

1. Choose a method for shutting down the server from main power mode to standby power mode.
When main power is off, the Power/OK LED on the front panel will begin flashing, indicating that the server is in standby power mode.
This section describes how to view and modify the BIOS settings.
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) has a Setup utility stored in the BIOS flash memory. The Setup utility reports system information and can be used to configure the BIOS settings. The configured data is provided with context-sensitive Help and is stored in the system's battery-backed CMOS RAM. If the configuration stored in the CMOS RAM is invalid, the BIOS settings will default to the original state specified at the factory.
The first BIOS Setup menu screen is displayed. The BIOS Setup utility contains seven menu screens, which are displayed in the following order: Main, Advanced, PCI/PnP, Boot, Security, Chipset, and Exit.
Use the left and right arrow keys to move sequentially back and forth through the seven screens. Fields that can be reconfigured are displayed in color. All other fields are nonconfigurable. Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through a menu. Use the Tab key to move back and forth across columns.
You can change the BIOS configuration in several different interfaces.
1. To change the system parameters, enter the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is performing the power-on self-test (POST).
POST testing is indicated when the Power/OK LEDs on the front and back panels go into slow-blink mode.
2. Highlight the field to be modified using the arrow and Tab keys.
3. Press Enter to select the field.
A dialog box is displayed. The box presents you with the options that are available for the setup field that you have chosen.
4. Modify the setup field and close the screen.
5. If you need to modify other setup parameters, use the arrow and Tab keys to navigate to the desired screen and menu item, then repeat steps To change the system parameters, enter the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is performing the power-on self-test (POST). through Press Enter to select the field.. Otherwise, go to Step 6.
6. Press and release the right arrow key until the Exit menu screen is displayed.
7. Follow the instructions on the Exit menu screen to save your changes and exit the Setup utility.
Refer to the section that corresponds to your version of the server:
See Replacing PCI Cards for the locations of the PCI slots.
The slots for the PCI cards are detected by the BIOS during startup in the following order:
The slots for the PCI cards are detected by the BIOS during startup in the following order:
These servers each have four 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports. The chassis labeling of the physical ports is shown in FIGURE 2-3.

The names and locations of this jumper differ between the Sun Fire X4100/X4200 and the X4100 M2/X4200 M2 servers:
This procedure describes how to reset the Administration password (the root password) for the ILOM Service Processor back to the default after it has been set once during initial setup.
Note - This procedure simultaneously removes any BIOS password that was set. |
1. Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.
2. Disconnect the power cords from the server.
![]() |
Caution - Before handling components, attach an ESD wrist strap to the grounding post that is built into the rear of the chassis (see Sun Fire X4100/X4100 M2 Server Back Panelor Sun Fire X4200/X4200 M2 Server Back Panelfor the location). The system’s printed circuit boards and hard disk drives contain components that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. |
3. If the server is in a rack, slide it far enough from the rack so that you can remove the main cover. If you cannot safely view and access the motherboard, remove the server from the rack.
4. Remove the main cover from the server.
See Removing the Main Cover of the Sun Fire X4100/X4100 M2 Server or Removing the Main Cover of the Sun Fire X4200/X4200 M2 Servers.
5. Install the shorting jumper across the P4 or J12 header pins.
See FIGURE 2-8 or FIGURE 2-9 for the jumper location. This jumper’s function is to clear the ILOM SP password.
6. Reinstall the main cover to the server.
7. Reconnect power cords to the server.
The server powers up to standby power mode, indicated when the Power/OK LED on the front panel is flashing.
8. Return the server to main power mode by using a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.
9. Log in to the ILOM web GUI using root as the username and changeme as the password. Refer to the Integrated Lights Out Manager Administration Guide, 819-1160.
10. Change the default password to a password of your choice.
11. Repeat steps Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel. through Return the server to main power mode by using a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel. to remove the P4 or J12 jumper. (Remove the jumper in Step 5 rather than inserting it.)
Note - If you do not remove this jumper, the ILOM SP and BIOS passwords will be reset every time you power-cycle the server. |

If the ILOM BIOS SP password needs to be reset, do the following to reset the SP and CMOS passwords:
1. Determine if the ILOM SP first-level booter (U-Boot) is intact. Follow documented procedures to connect to the SP serial port, apply power to the system, and observe the initial ILOM boot messages.
See Sun Fire X4500/X4540 Server Installation Guide for details.
2. Enter the ILOM SP U-Boot command interpreter with xyzzy.
When the message, Booting linux in 2 seconds... is displayed, during ILOM initial boot, type xyzzy to enter the U-Boot command interpreter.
Note - The characters typed does not echo. Cutting and pasting the characters improves the chance of success. You might try cycling power to the system and entering xyzzy several times. |
Set the uboot environment variable, bootretry, to -1 to temporarily disable automatic reboot:
set bootretry -1
4. Configure to not save the current configuration:
set preserve_conf no
5. Save your current environment:
saveenv
boot
The names and locations of this jumper differ between the Sun Fire X4100/X4200 and the X4100 M2/X4200 M2 servers:
You can use this jumper to force the server to flash a new BIOS in the case of a system freeze. For example, if the system freezes after an ILOM SP firmware/BIOS update, use this procedure to force the server to look for the new BIOS.
1. Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel. See Powering Off the Server.
2. Disconnect the power cords from the server.

3. If the server is in a rack, slide it far enough from the rack so that you can remove the main cover. If you cannot safely view and access the motherboard, remove the server from the rack.
4. Remove the main cover from the server. See one of the following:
5. Install the shorting jumper across the P5 or J13 header pins.
See FIGURE 2-8 or FIGURE 2-9 for the jumper location. This jumper’s function is to instruct the system to force recovery of the latest BIOS at system reboot.
6. Reinstall the main cover to the server.
7. Reconnect power cords to the server.
The server powers up to standby power mode, which is indicated when the Power/OK LED on the front panel is flashing.
8. Return the server to main power mode by using a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.
You must fully power on the server to complete the reset. This is because the state of this jumper cannot be determined without the host CPU running.
9. Repeat steps Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel. See Section 2.2, “Powering Off the Server” on page 2-3. through Return the server to main power mode by using a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel. to remove the P5 or J13 jumper. (Remove the jumper in Step 5 rather than inserting it.)
Note - If you do not remove this jumper, the server will force a recovery of the new BIOS every time that you power cycle the server. |
The names and locations of this jumper differ between the Sun Fire X4100/X4200 and the X4100 M2/X4200 M2 servers:
You can use this jumper to clear the server’s CMOS settings in the case of a system freeze. For example, if the server freezes because of incorrect settings and will not boot, use this jumper to invalidate the settings and reboot with defaults.
1. Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.
2. Disconnect the power cords from the server.

Caution - Do not use the Reset and NMI switches unless you are instructed to do so by authorized Service personnel. |
The names of these switches differ between the Sun Fire X4100/X4200 and the X4100 M2/X4200 M2 servers:
The Reset switch sends a reset order to the CPUs, resetting the main system, but not the service processor. The button for this switch can be pushed by sticking a paper clip or similar object through the hole provided on the rear of the chassis (see FIGURE 2-10).
The Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) switch sends an NMI order to the CPUs, which is used by Field Service for debugging activities at the request of Service personnel. The button for this switch can be pushed by sticking a paper clip or similar object through the hole provided on the rear of the chassis (see FIGURE 2-10).
