Installation Prerequisites

Ensure the following tasks are complete before installing your server module into the Sun Blade 6000 modular system chassis.

  1. Install any optional components for the server module. See Adding Optional Components.

  2. Ensure that the Sun Blade 6000 modular system chassis in which you will install the server module is running with supported hardware and firmware and has no faults:

    • Confirm that the chassis midplane supports PCIe 2.0 (standard with model A90–B). Refer to the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System Product Notes for the latest information on how to determine your midplane version.

    • The Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM) is at firmware version 3.0.10.15 (available with Sun Blade 6000 modular system software release 3.2) or later.

    • All required power and data cables to the chassis are attached.

    • The Network Expansion Module(s) (NEMs) that are supported for use with your server module have been installed in the chassis and are operating without faults. Refer to the Supported Hardware in Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server Module Product Notes for more information.


      Note - For the Sun Blade X6275 M2 with 1GbE (X6275M2–BB), each node has one network port: the port for node 0 is assigned to a supported NEM in chassis slot NEM0, the port for node 1 is assigned to an supported NEM in chassis slot NEM1.

      For the Sun Blade X6275 M2 with 10GbE (X6275M2–CB), each node has one network port: the port for node 0 is assigned to a supported NEM in chassis slot NEM0, the port for node 1 is assigned to an supported NEM in chassis slot NEM1.


    For information about installing chassis components, attaching cables, and powering on the chassis, refer to the Sun Blade 6000 modular system chassis documentation at: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19938-01/index.html

  3. Choose a method for connecting to each node's Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) service processor (SP). These could include the following:

    • A network connection. You need a PC or workstation connected to the same network as the SP.

    • A direct node SP connection using the serial management port of an optional multi-port cable connected to the node's UCP connector on the server's front panel (refer to the Using the Multi-Port Cable in Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server Module Service Manual for details). You need a PC with terminal emulation software or ASCII terminal workstation. A terminal server can also be used.

  4. Choose a method for connecting to the host console (BIOS and OS). These could include the following:
