Power-off by Using the XSCF Command

Notes on the Use of 200V Power Supply

For servers that have the B-type plug, confirm that a 15A overcurrent protection device is available outside the server. If one is not available, prepare an external 15A overcurrent protection that can be achieved by means of no-fuse breakers (NFBs) or fuses. The B-type plug refers to plugs other than grounding-type ones with two parallel blades, such as the NEMA L6-30, L6-20, L6-15, and L5-15.

Connecting an SAS Device With Multiple SAS Targets to Onboard External SAS Interface Not Supported

It is not supported to connect an SAS device containing multiple SAS targets to the onboard external SAS interface. Instead, use a Sun StorageTek Host Bus Adaptor (SG-XPCIE8SAS-E-Z). [6765239]

Hardware Documentation Updates

This section contains late-breaking hardware information and corrections that became known after the documentation set was published.

TABLE 2-1 lists known documentation updates.

TABLE 2-1 Hardware Documentation Updates
Title	Page Number	Update
SPARC Enterprise M3000 Server Site Planning Guide	2-5	TABLE 2-4 "Power Cords and Connector Types" It describes the power cord type for Hong Kong as "IEC 60320 C14" which should be modified as "BS1363." The following note will be added. Note - For servers that have the B-type plug, confirm that a 15A overcurrent protection device is available outside the server. If one is not available, prepare an external 15A overcurrent protection that can be achieved by means of no-fuse breakers (NFBs) or fuses.

Power Cords and Connector Types

The following information supersedes the information in the SPARC Enterprise M3000 Server Site Planning Guide and the SPARC Enterprise M3000 Server Installation Guide.

The corrected table for power cords and connector types is as follows, corresponding with TABLE 2-4 in both docuuments.

TABLE 2-4 Power Cords and Connector Types
Location	Power cord type	connector type
Japan	NEMA5-15 125V15A	IEC 60320 C13
North America	NEMAL6-15 250V15A
China	GB 2099.1 250V15A
Hong Kong	BS1363 250V15A
South Korea	IEC60320-C14 250V15A

Updates of the SPARC Enterprise M3000 Server Service Manual

The following information supersedes the information in the SPARC Enterprise M3000 Server Service Manual.

Power-off by Using the XSCF Command

The description here corrects section 4.5.1.1, "Power-off by Using the XSCF Command."

1. Notify users that the server is going down.

2. Back up the system files and data as necessary.

3. Log in to the XSCF Shell and type the poweroff command.

XSCF> poweroff -a

The following actions occur when the poweroff command is used:

The Solaris OS shuts down cleanly.

The server powers off to Standby mode (the XSCF unit and one fan will still have power).

For details of the command, see the XSCF Reference Manual for your server.

Caution - There is an electrical hazard if the power cords are not disconnected. All power cords must be disconnected to completely remove power from the server.
