Installing and Applying Standby Power to the Server Module |
This chapter contains the following topics:
The Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module provides standard indicators and buttons, and a Universal Connector Port on its front panel. See FIGURE 2-1 for the locations of LEDs, buttons, and port.

Consult the following sections when installing a server module into a powered on chassis:
Prior to installing the server module into a powered-on chassis, ensure that the following requirements are met.
For information about installing chassis components, attaching cables, and powering on the chassis, see the Sun Blade 6000 Series chassis documentation at: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/blade.srvr#hic
For instructions, see the Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module Service Manual (821-0499).
Install Server Module Into a Powered-On Chassis |
1. Verify that the Sun Blade 6000 Series chassis is powered-on.
When the chassis is powered-on, the fans are operating and the OK/Power LED illuminates a steady-on green light. The OK/Power LED is located on both the front and rear panels of the chassis. If the chassis is not powered-on, refer to the system chassis documentation.
2. In the front of the chassis, locate and remove the desired server module filler panel.
Pull the lever out and eject the filler panel.
3. Position the server module vertically so that the ejectors are on the right and extend outward.
The following illustrations show the server module being inserted into the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System. See box 1 in FIGURE 2-2.
FIGURE 2-2 Inserting the Server Module Into the Chassis
4. Push the server module into the slot until the server module stops and is flush with the chassis.
See Boxes 2 and 3 in FIGURE 2-2.
5. To lock the server module into the chassis, do the following:
The server module is locked in the chassis (Box 4 in FIGURE 2-2) and standby power is applied to the server module SP.
After installing a server module into a powered-on chassis (the chassis OK/Power LED illuminates a steady-on green light), the server module SP automatically boots and standby power from the chassis power supplies is supplied directly to the server module SP. To verify that the server module is in standby mode, refer to Verify Standby Power State on Server.
In standby power mode, main power is not yet applied to the server module. However, you can connect to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM). For information about connecting to ILOM and applying main power to the server module, see Connecting to ILOM and Applying Main Power to the Server Module.
Verify Standby Power State on Server |
1. Verify that the system chassis is powered-on.
A steady-on green light should be visible from the chassis OK/Power LED.
If the chassis is not powered on, refer to the system chassis documentation for instructions on powering on the system chassis.
2. Ensure that the OK/Power LED on the server module illuminates a standby blink.
The OK/Power LED on the server module front panel illuminates a standby blink (0.1 second on, 2.9 seconds off). The standby blink indicates that the server module SP is active but the server module host is powered off.
Note - The server module OK/Power LED will be set to standby blink only when there is enough chassis power for the server module to power on. If there is not enough chassis power, the OK/Power LED will remain off until there is enough power for the server module to power on. To troubleshoot this issue, see Troubleshoot Server Power States. |
Your system chassis is shipped with the following dongle cable that enables you to connect communication devices directly to the Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module:
Note - The 3-Cable Dongle II is typically provided with each Sun Blade 6000 Series chassis. Additional cables can be ordered. |
You can use the VGA or USB connectors on the dongle cable to communicate with the server module BIOS and operating system. Or, you can use the serial connector to communicate with the server module SP.
Attach Devices to Server Using the 3-Cable Dongle |
1. Insert the dongle cable into the universal connector port (UCP) on the server module front panel.
See FIGURE 2-3.
2. Attach the connectors on the dongle cable to the appropriate devices.
See FIGURE 2-3.
