Connecting Power Cables Caution – The Netra 1290 server is designed to work with power systems having a grounded neutral conductor. Do not connect the equipment into any other type of power system. Contact your facilities manager or a qualified electrician to determine what type of power is supplied to your building. Caution – The Netra 1290 server is shipped with grounding-type (three-wire) power cords. Always connect the cords into grounded power outlets.
Note – It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the cabinet has sufficient electrical power and redundancy to handle the required installation. ■ If the server is mounted in an unpowered cabinet: a. Connect power cords from Source A on the server to the customer-supplied power source A circuit breakers. b. Connect power cords from Source B on the server to the customer-supplied power source B circuit breakers. ■ If the server is mounted in a powered cabinet: a.
LOM Serial A port connects directly to an ASCII terminal or a network terminal server (NTS) using a command-line interface. This port is used for the initial administrative console. Use this port to modify the default system controller settings so that the 10/100BASE-T LOM Ethernet port can be used as an administrative console. The configuration of Serial port A cannot be changed. See Appendix A for details on the serial ports.

Unless otherwise specified in the Rackmount Placement Matrix, mount the heaviest subassemblies at the lowest available opening.
CHAPTER 2 Setting Up This chapter describes how to power on your server using the system controller command-line interface (LOM prompt), how to set up the SC using the setupnetwork command, and how to boot the Solaris Operating System.
8. Booting the Solaris Operating System. 9. Installing the Lights Out Management packages from the Sun Microsystems software download center. Setting Up the Hardware ▼ To Install and Cable the Hardware 1. Connect a terminal to the system controller board serial port (FIGURE 1-26). 2. Set up the terminal to use the same baud rate as the SC serial port.
2.0.1 Disabling Operation of the On/Standby Switch ● To disable the On/Standby switch, use the setupsc command. lom>setupsc System Controller Configuration ------------------------------SC POST diag Level [off]: Host Watchdog [enabled]: Rocker Switch [enabled]:disabled Secure Mode [off]: Powering On the Server When all the power cables are connected and the external circuit breakers are switched on, the server enters Standby mode.
The server powers on completely. The System Active indicator illuminates and the server executes the power-on self-test (POST). ▼ To Power On Using the LOM poweron Command ● At the lom> prompt, type: lom>poweron The SC first powers on all the power supplies, followed by the fan tray. Finally the SC powers on the system boards. If the value of the OpenBoot PROM variable auto-boot? is true then the server also boots the Solaris Operating System.
▼ To Bring the System to Standby Mode From the Solaris Command Line ● At the system prompt, type: # shutdown -i5 ▼ To Bring the System to Standby Mode From the LOM Port ● At the lom> prompt, type: lom>shutdown ● For an abrupt power off, type: lom>poweroff This will abruptly terminate Solaris. Do you want to continue? [no] Caution – This abruptly brings the system to Standby mode, regardless of the system state and might corrupt data on the hard drives.
● For an abrupt power off, press the left side of the On/Standby switch and hold it for at least four seconds. Caution – This abruptly brings the system to Standby mode, regardless of the system state and might corrupt data on the hard drives. Setting Up the Server After powering on, you must set up your server using the SC setdate and setupnetwork commands described in this section.
2. At the Enter new password prompt, type your password. 3. At the Enter new password again prompt, re-type your password. lom>password Enter new password: Enter new password again: lom> If your password has been lost or forgotten, contact Sun Service for assistance. ▼ To Configure Network Parameters The Netra 1290 server can be administered from the SC LOM prompt and from the Solaris software.
CODE EXAMPLE 2-1 Output From the setupnetwork Command lom> setupnetwork Network Configuration --------------------Is the system controller on a network? [yes]: Use DHCP or static network settings? [static]: Hostname [hostname]: IP Address [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: Netmask [xxx.xxx.xxx.x]: Gateway [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: DNS Domain [xxxx.xxx.xxx]: Primary DNS Server [xxx.xxx.xxx.xx]: Secondary DNS Server [xxx.xxx.xx.
2. To power on the server, type poweron. Depending on the setting of the OpenBoot PROM auto-boot? parameter, the server attempts to boot the Solaris Operating System (OS) or remains at the OpenBoot PROM ok prompt. The default setting is true, which attempts to initiate a boot into the Solaris OS. If the setting of auto-boot? is false or there is no bootable Solaris image installed, then you the OpenBoot PROM ok prompt is returned. lom>poweron . . . . . . ok 3.
These packages are available from the Solaris software download center at: http://www.sun.com/download/ Under Systems Administration, click on the Systems Management link. Note – The latest patches to these packages is available from SunSolve in patch 110208. It is strongly advised that the latest version of patch 110208 be obtained from SunSolve and be installed on the Netra 1290 server to make use of the latest LOM utility updates.
