Getting Server Firmware and Software Updates
Caution - Chassis shutdown hazard. Do not operate the chassis with empty slots for more than 60 seconds. Always insert a filler panel into an empty slot. If you are not installing a server module into a slot, do not remove a slot filler panel. The slot filler panel is required to meet FCC standards for electromagnetic interference (EMI). |
See Rear Panel Features for the location of the rear cover.
The following illustration shows rear panel features on the Sun Blade X4-2B.
|
Caution - Drop hazard - Server modules can weigh up to 20 lbs (10kg). Use two hands to install or remove the server module from the chassis. |
Position the server module vertically so that the ejectors are on the right.
The server module is now locked in the chassis. After you install a server module into a powered-on chassis, the server module SP automatically boots using standby power from the chassis power supplies.
Verify that the server module front panel indicators illuminate after plugging in the server module:
The blade has been powered on and the SP boot process has begun.
The server module is in standby power mode after the SP completes its boot cycle.

Refer to the Sun Blade X4-2B Service Manual .
