Powering On and Configuring BIOS Settings


Note - The information in this chapter applies to the original Sun Fire X4600 server, and to the Sun Fire X4600 M2 server, unless otherwise noted in the text.


This chapter contains the following procedures and information:

2.1 Powering On the Server


Note - Before powering on your server for the first time, follow the installation and cabling instructions provided in the Sun Fire X4600 and Sun Fire X4600 M2 Installation Guide (819-4341), which is shipped with the system.


Powering On the Server for the First Time


Caution

Caution - Do not operate the server without all fans, component heat sinks, air baffles, and the cover installed. Severe damage to server components can occur if the server is operated without adequate cooling mechanisms.


  1. Verify that AC 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 Sun Fire X4600/X4600 M2 Servers Front Panel for the LED location.

  2. Use a pencil or other pointed object to press and release the recessed Power button on the server front panel. See Sun Fire X4600/X4600 M2 Servers Front Panel for the Power button location.

    When main power is applied to the full server, the Power/OK LED next to the Power button lights and remains lit.

2.2 Powering Off the Server

There are two methods 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 begins flashing, indicating that the server is in standby power mode.


Electrical

Caution - When you use the Power button to enter standby power mode, power is still directed to the GRASP board and power supply fans, indicated when the Power/OK LED is flashing. To completely power off the server, you must disconnect the AC power cords from the back panel of the server.


2.3 Configuring BIOS Settings

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.

2.3.1 The System Console

BIOS setup screens are accessed through the system console at boot time. You can interact directly with the console using a monitor connected to the VGA connector on the back, together with a keyboard and mouse connected to USB ports.

Alternately, you can access the system console using Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM). The ILOM is accessible through the serial management port, as well as over your LAN using the Ethernet management port. For more information, refer to Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Administration Guide for ILOM 1.1.1 (820-0280).

2.3.2 Navigating the BIOS Setup Screens

When the system begins booting, the user is prompted (through the system console) to press the F2 key, If you do so, the first BIOS Setup menu screen is displayed. The BIOS Setup utility contains seven menu screens, which are displayed in the following order:

  1. Main

  2. Advanced

  3. PCI/PnP, Boot

  4. Security

  5. Chipset

  6. 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 non-configurable. Use the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard to scroll through a screen's menu. Use the Tab key to move back and forth across columns.

Changing the Configuration of a BIOS Menu Item

  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 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 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.

2.3.3 BIOS Considerations

This section contains special considerations regarding the system BIOS, including:

2.3.3.1 Device Booting Detection Priority

The devices and PCI slots are detected by the BIOS during startup in this order:

  1. PCI-E slot 2

  2. PCI-E slot 3

  3. PCI-E slot 4

  4. On-board Intel NIC

  5. PCI-X slot 0

  6. PCI-X slot 1

  7. On-board LSI SCSI controller

  8. PCI-E slot 5

  9. PCI-E slot 6

  10. PCI-E slot 7

See Replacing PCI Cards for the locations of the PCI slots.

2.3.3.2 Ethernet Port (NIC) Device and Driver Naming

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 Ethernet Port Chassis Labeling Designations.

Ethernet Port Chassis Labeling Designations

The logical device naming for the NICs is reported differently by different interfaces and operating systems.

Sun Fire X4600 NIC Naming Conventions

See Sun Fire X4600 NIC Naming Conventions for a diagram that explains how operating systems and interfaces name the four NICs shown in Ethernet Port Chassis Labeling Designations.

2.4 Resetting SP and BIOS Passwords Using Jumper P20

This procedure describes how to reset the administration password (the root password) for the ILOM SP back to the default after it has been set once during initial setup.

Resetting the Administration Password Back To the Default


Note - This procedure simultaneously removes any BIOS password that was set.


  1. Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a pencil or other pointed object to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.

    See 2.2 Powering Off the Server .

  2. Disconnect the AC power cords from the server.

    Electrical

    Caution - Before handling components, attach an ESD wrist strap to bare metal on the chassis. 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 .

  5. Install the shorting jumper across the P20 header pins.

    See Location of Jumpers on the Motherboard for the P20 jumper location. The P20 jumper function is to clear the ILOM SP password.

  6. Replace the server’s main cover.
  7. 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.

  8. Return the server to main power mode by using a pencil or other pointed object to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.

    Note - You must allow the entire server, not just the SP, to reboot to main power mode to complete the password reset. This is because the state of the P20 jumper cannot be determined without the host CPU running. Wait until the end of POST, when you see the CMOS password cleared by jumper message, after which both the BIOS and SP passwords are reset.


    • The ILOM SP password is reset to the default, changeme.
    • The BIOS password is removed. If you had a BIOS password set, you are no longer prompted for one.
  9. 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, 819-1160.

  10. Change the default password to a password of your choice.
  11. Repeat steps 1 through 8 to remove the P20 jumper. (Remove the jumper in step 5 rather than inserting it.)

    Note - If you do not remove the P20 jumper, the ILOM SP and BIOS passwords will be reset every time you power-cycle the server.



    Location of Jumpers on the Motherboard
    Diagram showing the locations, designations, and actions of the jumpers on the motherboard.

2.5 Using the Force-Recovery Jumper P19

Use this jumper to force the server to flash a new BIOS when the system hangs. For example, if the system hangs after an ILOM SP firmware/BIOS update, use this procedure to force the server to look for the new BIOS.

Forcing a Hung Server to Flash a New BIOS

  1. Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a pencil or other pointed object to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel. See 2.2 Powering Off the Server .
  2. Disconnect the AC power cords from the server.

    Electrical

    Caution - Before handling components, attach an ESD wrist strap to bare metal on the chassis. 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 .

  5. Install the shorting jumper across the P19 header pins.

    See Location of Jumpers on the Motherboard for the P19 jumper location. The P19 jumper 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 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.

  8. Return the server to main power mode by using a pencil or other pointed object 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 the P19 jumper cannot be determined without the host CPU running.

  9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 to remove the P19 jumper. (Remove the jumper in step 5 rather than inserting it.)

    Note - If you do not remove the P19 jumper, the server will force a recovery of the new BIOS every time that you power cycle the server.


2.6 Using the Clear CMOS Jumper P25

You can use Jumper P25 to clear the server’s CMOS settings after a system hang. For example, if the server hangs because of incorrect settings and will not boot, use this jumper to invalidate the settings and reboot with defaults.

Clearing a Server’s CMOS Settings

  1. Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a pencil or other pointed object to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.

    See 2.2 Powering Off the Server .

  2. Disconnect the AC power cords from the server.

    Electrical

    Caution - Before handling components, attach an ESD wrist strap to bare metal on the chassis. 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 .

  5. Install the shorting jumper across the P25 header pins.

    See Location of Jumpers on the Motherboard for the P25 jumper location. The P25 jumper function is to tell the system to clear the current CMOS settings at system reboot.

  6. Wait 10 seconds, then remove the shorting jumper.

    This jumper removes battery power from the SouthBridge chipset where the CMOS settings are stored, thereby removing the CMOS settings.

  7. Reinstall the main cover to the server.
  8. 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.

2.7 Using the Reset and NMI Dump Switches


Caution

Caution - Do not use the Reset and NMI Dump switches unless you are instructed to do so by a Field Service engineer.


The Reset switch (SW2 on the motherboard) 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 Sun Fire X4600/X4600 M2 Servers Back Panel).

The Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) Dump switch (SW3 on the motherboard) sends an NMI order to the CPUs, which is used by Field Service for debugging activities at the request of operating system engineers. 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 Sun Fire X4600/X4600 M2 Servers Back Panel).

2.8 Updating the BIOS

The BIOS is updated whenever you update the ILOM SP firmware. For instructions on updating the firmware, refer to the Integrated Lights Out Manager Administration Guide, 819-1160.

2.9 Power-On Self-Test (POST)

For information about BIOS POST testing, POST codes, POST code checkpoints, and console redirection, see Appendix B, BIOS POST Codes.
