5 Replacing the Panels and Powering On the System

Follow the instructions in this chapter to replace the panels you removed from your cabinet and power on the system.

5.1 Replacing the Panels

To replace the panels you removed, reverse the removal procedures given in the following sections:

Removing the Vented Front Panels - Section 1.5.1

Removing the Vented Rear Panel - Section 1.5.2

Removing the Kick Panel - Section 1.5.3

Removing the Side Panels - Section 1.5.4

Retract the stabilizer bar once you have replaced all the panels you removed.

5.2 Powering On the System

Follow these procedures to power on the cabinet safely:

1. Verify that the power cord from the cabinet is plugged into a grounded wall socket.

2. Set the LOCAL/REMOTE switch on the cabinet to the "REMOTE ON" position (see Figure 5-1).

Figure 5-1 Control Panel

3. Switch the main power circuit breaker on the cabinet to the ON position (see Figure 5-2).

Figure 5-2 System Power Keyswitch

After you turn on the cabinet, you should see and hear several things happen:

the cabinet fans will begin turning

the system will beep, telling you the system is ready

the terminal screen will illuminate upon completion of the internal self test.

Note - The system will power on 20 seconds after the key switch is turned on. This will allow the disk drives to spin up one at a time, which will minimize power surges.

After the CPU board completes the system self test, a message similar to the following will appear on your screen: [2])

-----------------------------------------------------

<<<< SPARCsystem 400 POST V4.1 >>
	... (various test messages) ...
SPARCsystem 400 Series (2 X xxxxx), No Keyboard
ROM Rev. -.-, --- MB Memory installed, Serial #---.
Ethernet address -:-:--:-:--:--, Host ID: ------.

-----------------------------------------------------

4. Replace or close the top vented front panel on the cabinet.

If you have a 56" Data Center Expansion Cabinet, replace the top front panel on the cabinet by aligning the ball studs with the receptacles on each side of the panel and pressing forward on the panel until it clicks into place.

If you have a 56" Data Center Cabinet, close the top front panel on the cabinet by swinging the panel closed.

Caution -

To avoid damage to internal circuits, do not disconnect or plug in any cable while the system is powered on. Also, once the system is installed, do not move or attempt to move the cabinet with the system power ON. Failure to heed this warning may result in catastrophic disk drive failure. Always power the system OFF fully before moving it.
