2.1 Powering On the Server
Note – Before powering on a server for the first time, follow the setup instructions in
the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers—Installation Guide.
Caution – Before you power on a Sun Fire V40z server for the first time, you must
remove the packaging inserts from the server’s PCI card slots and CPU card slot to
ensure proper air flow and cooling. You can discard these packaging inserts, which
serve as protection during shipping. Do NOT remove the plastic air-baffle inserts
from the PCI slots.
The updated release (chassis PN 380-1206) of the server does not ship with the
packaging insert in the PCI card slots.
