Sun Fire™X4170, X4270 and

X4275 Servers

Getting Started Guide

Safety and Compliance Information

Before performing an installation, refer to the following documents for safety information regarding the Sun Fire

X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers:

■Important Safety Information for Sun Hardware Systems – Printed document included in the ship kit.

■Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers Safety and Compliance Guide – Online at Sun documentation site.

▼Install Optional Components

Before installing the server into the rack, you must first install any optional components that you ordered with

the server, such as DIMMs, PCIe cards, and so on. Refer to the Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers

Installation Guide for the instructions on installing optional components.

▼Mount the System in a Rack

For rackmounting instructions, refer to the documents included with the rail kit, the service label on the server,

and to the Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers Installation Guide.

▼Connect the Cables and Apply Standby Power to the Server

1. Connect a serial cable between the server’s SER MGT port (FIGURE 1) and a serial terminal device.

This connection provides your initial communication with the SP. The device must be set up to communicate

using 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit. A null modem configuration is needed, meaning the transmit and

receive signals are reversed (crossed over) for DTE to DTE communications. You can use the supplied RJ-45

crossover adapter with a standard RJ-45 cable to achieve the null modem configuration. (FIGURE 1 shows the

Sun Fire X4170 Server. The locations of the back panel connectors and ports are the same on the Sun Fire

X4270 and X4275 Servers.)

FIGURE 1 Back Panel of Server (Server Connections)

2. (Optional) Connect an Ethernet cable between the server’s NET MGT port and the network to which

future connections to the SP will be made.

After the initial configuration of the system using the SER MGT port, communication with the SP is usually

performed through this Ethernet interface.

3. Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the server’s NET ports (NET 0, 1, 2, or 3) and the network to

which the server will communicate.

2Serial management (SER MGT)/RJ-45 serial port 5USB 2.0 ports (0, 1)

3Service processor network management (NET MGT) port 6HD15 video connector (analog VGA)

4. Connect the power cords to AC power connectors and, to enhance redundancy, to separate power sources.

When power is applied, the SP initializes and the Power/OK LED flashes (FIGURE 2 and FIGURE 3). After a

few minutes, the SP Login prompt appears on the terminal device. Note that the server is not initialized or

powered on yet. For more information on connectivity options, refer to the Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275

Servers Installation Guide.

At this point, standby power is supplied only to the service processor and power supply fans. Do not apply

main power to the rest of the server until you are ready to install a platform operating system. In standby

power mode, the Power/OK LED on the server’s front panel flashes. (FIGURE 2 shows the Sun Fire X4170

Server. Sun Fire X4270 Server front panel controls are at the same location as Sun Fire X4170 controls.

FIGURE 3 shows the Sun Fire X4275 Server.)

▼Connect to ILOM and Conﬁgure an IP Address

There are three methods for connecting to the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) SP to perform initial setup

and configure an IP address:

■Connect to ILOM using a serial connection

■Connect to ILOM using an Ethernet connection (DHCP)

■Connect to ILOM using an Ethernet connection (static IP address)

For information about managing Sun systems using ILOM, go to: http://www.sun.com/

systemmanagement/index.jsp

Refer to the Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers Installation Guide and the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager

2.0 User’s Guide or the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Documentation Collection for instructions on

using ILOM to configure and manage the server.

▼Apply Main Power to the Server

Use this procedure to apply main power to the server.

Caution – Do not operate the server without all fans, component heatsinks, air baffles, and the cover

installed. Severe damage to server components can occur if operated without adequate cooling

mechanisms.

1. Verify that the power cord has been connected (FIGURE 1) and that standby power is on.

2. Use a non-metallic stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel.

When main power is applied to the full server, the Power/OK LED lights and remains on.

Note – The first time the server powers on, the power-on self-test (POST) can take up to 1 minute to complete.

3. Continue with initial software setup tasks, as described in the Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers

Installation Guide.

▼Update Firmware

Sun highly recommends that you use the Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) to easily install updated firmware, a

supported Linux or Windows operating system, and the latest hardware drivers. SIA is available in the

Documentation and Media Kit and online at http://www.sun.com/systemmanagement/sia.jsp. Also refer

to the Sun Installation Assistant for Windows and Linux User’s Guide (820-3357) at http://docs.sun.com/app/

docs/prod/install.x64svr#hic.

To update ILOM firmware and system BIOS without using SIA, refer to the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0

User’s Guide at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/int.lights.mgr20#hic or the Sun Integrated

Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Documentation Collection at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/

int.lights.mgr30#hic.

All firmware and drivers are located on the Tools and Drivers CD/DVD, which is part of the Documentation

and Media Kit. You also can download the software on the Tools and Drivers CD/DVD from the Sun software

download sites (see links in the following table).

▼Set Up the Platform Operating System and Driver Software

After configuring the ILOM SP with network settings, you can configure a preinstalled or supported operating

system (OS).

The following table provides additional references for installing an operating system, system device drivers,

firmware, and patches.

▼Register the System

1. Locate the serial number for your system on the EZ label or on the customer information sheet that came

with the system.

2. Go to the following web site to register your system:

http://www.sun.com/service/warranty/index.xml#reg
