Your system chassis is shipped with a dongle cable that enables you to connect communication devices directly to the front panel of the Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module:
Note - The 3-Cable Dongle II is typically provided with each Sun Blade 6000 Chassis System. Additional cables may 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.
FIGURE 1-2 illustrates how to attach the 3-Cable Dongle to the Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module universal connector port (UCP).

The DIMMs in FIGURE 1-4 are shown populated with filler panels. See Installing or Replacing Memory Modules (DIMMs). Note - Processor chip contains memory controller. Do not attempt to populate DIMMs sockets next to unpopulated (empty) CPU sockets. |
|
CPUs and heatsinks (up to two CPUs may be installed) See Installing or Replacing a CPU and Heatsink. The minimum CPU configuration shipped includes one CPU with a heatsink. An air baffle is shipped to cover the empty CPU socket (not shown in FIGURE 1-4). Additional CPUs may be ordered. Note - In the example shown in FIGURE 1-4, the CPUs are installed under the two heatsinks. |
|
Storage devices (hard disk drives or solid state drives) Up to four optional storage devices may be installed. See Installing or Servicing a Hard Disk Drive or Solid State Drive. |
