▼ Mount the System in a Rack
For rackmounting instructions, refer to the instructions included with the rail kit, the service label on the server,
and the online Sun Fire X2270 Server Service Manual.
▼ Connect the Cables
1. Connect a serial cable between the server’s SER MGT port and a terminal device.
For systems that contain a service processor (SP) module, the connection to the server’s SER MGT port
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.
2. (Optional) Connect an Ethernet cable between the server’s NET MGT port and the network to which
future connections to the SP and host will be made.
After the initial configuration of the system using the SER MGT port, communication with the SP and host is
usually performed through this Ethernet interface.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the server’s NET ports (NET-0 or NET-1) and the network to
which the server will communicate.
4. Plug the power cord into the power supply.
When power is applied, the SP initializes and the Power/OK LED flashes. After a few minutes, the SP login
prompt appears on the terminal device. Note that the host is not initialized or powered on yet.
For more information on connectivity options, refer to the Sun Fire X2270 Server Installation Guide.
▼ Power On the System
Use this procedure to apply standby power to the service processor (SP) before initial configuration.
