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. Check the following:
The chassis midplane supports PCIe 2.0 (standard with model A90-B or A90-D). For the latest information about how to determine your midplane version, refer to the Sun Blade X3-2B (formerly Sun Blade X6270 M3) Product Notes.
The chassis monitoring module (CMM) has the minimum firmware version that corresponds with the chassis model as follows:
A90–B: CMM ILOM 3.0.12.11b (software release 3.3.3)
A90–D: CMM ILOM 3.1 (software release 4.2)
All required power and data cables to the chassis are attached.
The network express modules (NEMs) that are supported for use with your server module have been installed in the chassis and are operating without faults. For more information about supported NEMs, refer to Sun Blade X3-2B (formerly Sun Blade X6270 M3) Product Notes.
For information about installing chassis components, attaching cables to the chassis, and powering on the chassis, refer to the Sun Blade 6000 modular system chassis documentation at: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=sb6000
