1.4 Powering On and Powering Off the
Server
You only need to apply standby power to the server at this point so that you can
perform initial configuration of the service processor. Procedures for powering on to main
power mode and for shutting down from main power mode are also included in this
section, for your reference.
1.4.1 Applying Standby Power for Initial Service
Processor Configuration
Use this procedure to apply standby power to the service processor (SP) before initial
configuration.
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. Connect grounded AC power cords to the AC power connector on the back
panel of the server and to a grounded AC power outlet.
Note – 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.
2. Continue with initial software setup tasks, as described in Sun Fire X2250 Server
Installation Guide (820-4591).
