2-2 Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers—User Guide • March 2005
If you want to configure the server BIOS, you must use a PS/2 keyboard for initial
bootup. USB keyboard support is disabled in the BIOS by default. See “BIOS Setup
Utility” on page 2-5 for more information.
Caution – Do not operate this server without all fans, component heatsinks, air
baffles and the cover installed. Severe damage to server components will occur if the
server is operated without adequate cooling mechanisms.
Follow these steps to boot the server:
1. Ensure that an AC power cord is plugged into each power connector on the rear of
the server and into an AC power outlet(s).
2. Power on the server using one of the following two methods, depending on which
server type you have:
■ If you have a Sun Fire V20z server, use these steps:
a. Turn on the AC power switch on the server back panel (see
FIGURE 1-2).
This switch provides AC power to the SP and basic hardware.
b. Push and release the platform power button on the server front panel (see
FIGURE 1-1).
This button provides power to the BIOS, operating system and drivers.
■ If you have a Sun Fire V40z server, use this step:
a. Push and release the platform power button on the server front panel (see
FIGURE 1-4).
This button provides power to the BIOS, operating system and drivers. There is
no separate AC power switch on the Sun Fire V40z server; basic AC power is
applied when you plug in a power cord to a power supply.
Note – If this is the first time you are booting the server, the booting stops and
displays a message on the monitor, Operating system not found, and the LCD on
the front panel displays the message, OS Booting. This is normal until after you
install an operating system.
3. When prompted, you can press the F2 key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility or press
the F12 key to boot from the network. To boot from the default boot device, let the
prompt time out and the boot process will continue.
For further information about the BIOS Setup Utility, refer to “BIOS Setup Utility”
on page 2-5. For information about setting up a network PXE installation, see the
