▼Connect the Cables
1. Connect a serial cable between the server’s SER MGT port (see FIGURE 1) and a terminal device.
You can use the supplied RJ-45 crossover adapter with a standard serial cable to achieve a 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 service processor (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. Connect the power cord to the power supply, but do not power on the server.
When the server is connected to an AC power source, the SP initializes and the Power/OK LED (see
FIGURE 2) blinks. After a few minutes, the SP login prompt appears on the terminal device.
▼Log In to ILOM and Configure the SP IP Address
This section shows you how to use a serial cable and a terminal device to log in to the SP Integrated Lights out
Manager (ILOM), so you can configure the SP IP address. You can also connect to the SP to perform initial setup
and configuration using these alternate methods:
■Connect to ILOM Using an Ethernet Connection (DHCP)
■Connect to ILOM Using an Ethernet Connection (static IP address)
Note – Alternate connection methods and instructions on initial SP configuration are available in the Sun Fire
X2270 M2 Server Installation Guide.
1. Log in to ILOM as root and use the password changme.
2. Start the serial console:
3. Refer to the ILOM documentation to configure your server’s network settings.
4. To log out and exit ILOM, type:
-> exit
▼Power On the System
Caution – Component thermal damage. Server components require proper cooling. Do not operate the
server with the cover removed or without all fans, component heatsinks, air baffles installed.
-> cd /SP/console
-> start

♦To power on the server to full-power mode, press and release the Power button on the server front panel.
When main power is applied to the full server, the Power/OK LED next to the Power button lights and
remains lit (does not blink).
Note – The first time the server powers on, the power-on self-test (POST) can take up to 1 minute to complete.
▼Update Firmware
1. Oracle highly recommends that you use the Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) to update system BIOS and
ILOM firmware. SIA is easy to use and available in the Documentation and Media Kit, or online at:
http://www.sun.com/systemmanagement/sia.jsp
For more information, refer to the documentation for the version of SIA supported for your server at:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/install.x64svr#hic
2. To update the system BIOS and ILOM firmware without using SIA, refer to the documentation for the
version of ILOM supported for your server. See the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.0 Documentation
Collection at:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/int.lights.mgr30#hic
▼Set Up the Platform Operating System, Driver Software, and Firmware
Note – Oracle highly recommends that you use the Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) software when installing a
supported Windows or Linux OS. SIA assists in locating and installing all necessary OS components.
♦After configuring the ILOM SP with network settings, configure the optional preinstalled operating
system (OS) or install a supported Linux, Windows or Solaris OS and drivers. For more information and
instructions, see the following documents.
