Powering On and Configuring BIOS Settings |
This chapter contains the following procedures and information.
Before powering on your server for the first time, follow the installation and cabling instructions provided in the Sun Fire X4540 Installation Guide, available online at the URL described in Related Documentation.
To power on main power for all server components:
1. Verify that power cords have been connected and that standby power is on.
In standby power mode, the Power/OK LED (3) on the front panel flashes.
FIGURE 2-1 Front Panel Controls and Indicators
2. Use a nonconducting stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the server front panel. See FIGURE 2-1.
When main power is applied to the full server, the Power/OK LED next to the Power button lights and remains lit.
To power off the server from main power mode, use one of the following two methods:
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 back panel of the server. |
The service processor shuts down the system if it detects an overtemperature condition.
The hardware shuts down the system immediately if any voltage is out of spec, or if the last working power supply fails.
See Section E.2, Power-Off Sequence for a diagram of the power-off sequence and its timing parameters.
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 default to the original state specified at the factory.
When the BIOS is started, the first BIOS Setup menu screen is displayed. The BIOS Setup utility contains seven menu screens, which are displayed in this order: Main, Advanced, PCI/PnP, Boot, Security, Chipset, and Exit.
You can change the BIOS configuration in several different interfaces:
To change the system’s parameters:
1. Enter the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is performing the power-on self-test (POST).
2. Highlight the field to be modified using the arrow and Tab keys.
3. Press Enter to select the field.
A dialog box appears. The box presents you with the options 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 1 through 3. Otherwise, go to Step 5.
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.
These servers each have four 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports connected to individual Network Interface Cards (NICs). The chassis labeling of the physical ports is shown in FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 1 Ethernet Port Chassis Labeling Designations
The logical device naming for the NICs is reported differently by different interfaces and operating systems.
See FIGURE 2 for a diagram that explains how operating systems and interfaces name the four NICs shown in FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 2 Sun Fire X4500 NIC Naming Conventions
For information about BIOS POST testing, POST codes, POST code checkpoints, and console redirection, see Appendix B.
Perform the following steps during the BIOS/Power-On Self Test (POST):
After some screen messages, the BIOS setup utility appears.
2. Press F9, or use the arrow keys to scroll to the Exit -> Load Optimal Defaults.
A dialog asks “Load Optimal Defaults [OK].”
4. Press F10 or use the arrow keys to scroll to Exit -> Save Changes and Exit.
A dialog asks if you want to save your changes and exit.
5. Press Enter to save your changes and exit the BIOS utility.
The BIOS Option ROM is 128 KB. Of these 128 KB, approximately 86 KB are used by the VGA controller, the LSI controller, and the on-board NIC. Approximately 42KB remain for the Option ROM.
The AMD PowerNow! feature, which is accessed from the BIOS Setup utility Advanced menu, is disabled by default on this server. Some problems have been observed when using this feature on certain operating systems. If you want to enable this feature, first check the Sun Fire X4500 Server Product Notes for any outstanding known issues for your operating system.
TABLE 2-1 contains summary descriptions of the seven top-level BIOS setup screens.
FIGURE 2-2 summarizes the BIOS menu tree. See Section 2.12, BIOS Setup Menu Screens (X4500) for examples of each of these screens.
See Section t, To Install a PCI-X or PCIe Card (FRU) for the locations of the PCI slots.
FIGURE 2-2 BIOS Utility Menu Tree (X4500)
TABLE 2-2 shows the devices and PCI slots, and the order that the BIOS detects them. See To Install a PCI-X or PCIe Card (FRU) for the locations of the PCI slots.
The following graphic shows the drives mapping scheme of the system. The boot drives are 0 or 1. (Default boot drive is in slot 0 and the default mirrored drive is in slot 8.) It is required to use one of these drives from which to boot the system.

BIOS shows the drives in F2 Setup as follows (this information is obtained from the LSI BIOS option ROM):
SCSI: #0200 ID00 SCSI: #0300 ID01
This means the SCSI controller is on bus 02h, device 0, function 0, drive ID 0, or the SCSI controller is on bus 03h, device 0, function 0, drive ID 1.
The following graphic shows the drives mapping scheme of the system. The boot disks are 0, 1, 8, and 9. (Default boot drive is in slot 0 and the default mirrored drive is in slot 8.) It is required to use one of these disks from which to boot the system.

This procedure describes how to reset the Administration password (the root password) for the ILOM Service Processor to the default after it has been set during initial setup.
1. Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a ballpoint pen or other nonconducting stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.
See Section 2.2, Powering Off the Server.
2. Disconnect the AC power cords from the server.
3. Remove the cable management assembly if necessary:
4. Remove the system controller as described in To Remove the System Controller (CRU).
FIGURE 2-6 Loosening Captive Screws and Removing the Cover
5. Push the system controller cover toward the rear and lift the cover off.
6. See the CPU board and the I/O controller board.
The jumper is located on the I/O controller board, as shown in FIGURE 2-7 (X4500) or in FIGURE 2-8 (X4540).
FIGURE 2-7 Location of Jumpers on the I/O Controller (X4500)
FIGURE 2-8 Location of Jumpers on the I/O Controller (X4540)
| Note - The hard rst jumper changes the reset button from a soft reset to a hard reset. It is used for hardware debugging only. |
7. Install the jumper across the header pins:
The jumper’s function is to clear the ILOM SP password.
8. Replace the cable management arm as described in one of the following:
9. Replace the system controller as described in Replacing the System Controller (FRU).
10. Reconnect AC power cords to the server.
The server enters standby power mode, indicated when the Power/OK LED on the front panel is flashing.
11. Return the server to main power mode by using a ballpoint pen or other nonconducting stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.
12. Log in to the ILOM web GUI using root as the user name and changeme as the password.
For login instructions, refer to the Integrated Lights Out Manager Administration Guide.
13. Change the default password to a password of your choice.
14. Repeat Step 1 through Step 9 to remove the jumper. (Remove the jumper in Step n instead of inserting it.)
| Note - If you do not remove the passwd clr jumper, the ILOM SP and BIOS passwords will reset every time you power-cycle the server. |
| Note - The hard rst jumper changes the reset button from a soft reset to a hard reset. It is used for hardware debugging only. |
You can use this jumper to clear the server’s CMOS settings in the case of a system hang. For example, if the server hangs because of incorrect settings and does not boot, use this jumper to invalidate the settings and reboot with defaults.
| Note - Clearing CMOS settings resets the BIOS settings, including the BIOS password. |
1. Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a ballpoint pen or other nonconducting stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.
2. Disconnect the AC power cords from the server.
3. Remove the cable management assembly if necessary:
4. Remove the system controller as described in To Remove the System Controller (CRU).
5. Push the system controller cover toward the rear and lift the cover off.
See the CPU board and the I/O controller board, as shown in FIGURE 2-7 (X4500) or in FIGURE 2-8 (X4540).
6. Install the jumper across the header pins labelled Clear CMOS.
The jumper’s function is to tell the system to clear the current CMOS settings at system reboot.
7. Wait 10 seconds, then remove the jumper.
This jumper removes battery power from the chipset where the CMOS settings are stored, thereby removing the CMOS settings.
8. Replace the cable management assembly if necessary:
9. Replace the system controller as described in Replacing the System Controller (FRU).
10. Reconnect AC 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.
To reset the ILOM SP, do the following:
You can also reset the ILOM SP by shutting down the host, then removing and restoring AC power cords to the system.
For more information, see the Sun Fire X4500/X4540 Server Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Supplement.
BIOS is updated whenever you update the ILOM Service Processor firmware. For instructions on updating the firmware, refer to the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 User’s Guide.
In systems that have multiple PCI cards installed, and with the option ROM in all the cards enabled, the following error messages are displayed:
Not enough space to copy PCI option ROM. Option ROM memory space exhausted.
The BIOS Option ROM is 128 KB. Of these 128 KB, approximately 86 KB are used by the VGA controller, the Marvell controller (X4500), the LSI SAS1068E controller (X4540) and the on-board NIC. Approximately 42 KB remain for the other option ROMs. Because of the order that the devices in the system are scanned and detected during system boot, the option ROM space is exhausted before all cards can be scanned. This affects which slots can be used for bootability.
Another side effect of this problem is that you cannot PXE boot using the on-board NICs. When you press F12 to PXE boot with this configuration, the following error message appears when the system tries to reach the PXE server:
PXE-ECI: Base code ROM-ID structure was not found. Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
Currently, the devices and PCI slots are detected by the BIOS during startup in the following order:
1. On-board SATA controllers 0 through 3
3. On-board SATA controllers 4 and 5
To work around the problem for booting devices without exhausting all the option ROM memory:
1. Enter the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is booting up and performing POST.
2. On the BIOS Main Menu screen, select the PCIPnP tab to open the PCI/PnP Settings screen.
3. Change the lines for Scanning OPROM on PCI-X slots 0 and 1 to Disabled.
4. Press and release the right arrow key until the Exit menu screen is displayed.
5. Follow the instructions on the Exit menu screen to save your changes and exit the Setup utility.
To work around the problem with PXE booting, disable OPROM scanning for all PCI slots by using the procedure above. After this, you can PXE install successfully.
