This guide describes the minimum steps required to install and power on Oracle’s Netra SPARC T3-1B server
module for the first time.
For more detailed installation information, refer to the online Netra SPARC T3-1B Server Module Installation Guide
and the installation guide for your Sun Netra 6000 modular system. Also read the latest Netra SPARC T3-1B
Server Module Product Notes to find out if any late-breaking issues impact installation requirements:

Shipping Kit Contents
▼Install Optional Components
♦Before installing the server module into the modular system chassis, install any optional components that
you ordered for the server module.
Optional components might already be installed in the server module you received. See the customer
information sheet for details. For instructions on installing optional components, refer to the documentation
for each component and the Netra SPARC T3-1B Server Module Service Manual.

Getting Started Guide

▼Install the Server Module Into the Chassis
The server module is hot-pluggable in the chassis. The instructions in this guide assume that the Sun Blade
6000 modular system is installed, and is up and running.
1. Remove the filler panel from the desired server module slot in the chassis.
Be ready to insert the server module or a filler panel in the empty slot within 60 seconds.
2. Insert the server module in the chassis (panel 1) until it is about 1.5 cm (.5 in.) from the front of the
chassis.
The side of the server module with the service label faces to your right.
3. Extend the ejector levers (panel 2), then push the ejector levers in simultaneously until they lock in place
(panel 3).
4. Verify the server module insertion by checking the green OK LED on the server module (panel 4).
When the server module is plugged in, standby power is supplied to the service processor (SP). The front
panel LEDs blink three times, then the green OK LED on the front panel blinks for a few minutes. The server
module SP generates diagnostic messages as soon as the server module is connected to a powered modular
system.
Caution – For proper cooling, ensure that all slots are filled with a server module or a filler panel. Fill
all slots within 60 seconds after the modular system is connected to power.

▼Determine Your Connection Method
You can start, boot, and manage the server module using the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM)
software that runs on the server module SP. You can also control the server module from Oracle ILOM
running on the chassis management module (CMM) of the modular system.
There are several ways that you can connect to the server module SP.
♦Connect to the server module using one of the methods shown in the following figure and table.
This guide uses method 1, but you can use the other methods as described in the Netra SPARC T3-1B Server
Module Installation Guide.
Method Connection Description
1 Ethernet
From: CMM NET MGT port
To: Your network
(This guide includes details on this method)
Ensure that the CMM NET MGT port is connected to your network.
From your network, log into Oracle ILOM on the CMM using the IP address
of the CMM. Use the Oracle ILOM proxy to navigate to the server module SP
Oracle ILOM interface. You can use the Oracle ILOM command-line interface
(CLI) or use the CMM Oracle ILOM web interface (as described in “Access
Oracle ILOM on the Server Module SP (Web Interface)” ).
2 Serial
From: CMM SER MGT port
To: Terminal device
Connect a terminal device to the CMM SER MGT RJ-45 port and use Oracle
ILOM to navigate to the server module SP Oracle ILOM interface. This
method only supports the Oracle ILOM CLI.
3 Serial
From: Server module SP UCP port
(dongle required)
To: Terminal device
Connect a UCP-3 dongle cable to the server module. Connect a terminal
device to the RJ-45 connector on the dongle cable. Communicate with Oracle
ILOM on the server module SP using the Oracle ILOM CLI.

4
▼Access Oracle ILOM on the Server Module SP (Web Interface)
This procedure is for method 1, which uses a web interface through the CMM to access the server module Oracle
ILOM CLI. You must know the CMM IP address to perform this procedure. This procedure also assumes you
have a DHCP environment. For other environments, see instructions in the SPARC T3-1B Server Module
Installation Guide.
1. Ensure that the CMM NET MGT port is connected and configured to communicate on your network.
Refer to the Sun Blade 6000 modular system documentation for details.
2. In a browser on the same network as the modular system, enter the IP address of the CMM.
For example, if your CMM has the IP address 129.99.99.99, direct your browser to that address. A login
window for Oracle ILOM will appear.
3. Log in to Oracle ILOM on the CMM by typing your user name and password.
The factory default Oracle ILOM root password is changeme.
You are now logged in to the CMM Oracle ILOM web interface.
4. Navigate to the server module SP.
a. Select the chassis view for the modular system.
b. Click on the image of the server module that you have installed in the modular system.
The slots in the modular system are numbered from 0 to 9.
5. Start the Remote Console.
a. Select Remote Control on the top menu.
b. Select the Redirection tab.
c. Click on Use serial redirection.
d. Click on Launch Remote Console.
6. Power on the server module.
a. Select the Remote Power Control tab.
b. Click on the menu in that tab and select Power On.
c. Select Save.
d. Select OK when you see this prompt: Are you sure you want to perform a Power On of the server.
The server module host is powered on for the first time. The server module hardware installation is complete
and the server module is ready to be configured to suit your needs. For details on the Oracle Solaris OS
configuration process, see the Netra SPARC T3-1B Installation Guide and the installation guides for your
version of Oracle Solaris OS.
▼Power On the Server Module Host
If you used a command line method to access the server module SP, rather than use the procedure in “Access
Oracle ILOM on the Server Module SP (Web Interface)” , you need to use this procedure to power on the server
module host.

5
1. Power on the server module host.
The server module initializes.
2. Switch communication to the server module host.
The server module might take several minutes to complete POST. If a boot device installed with the Oracle
Solaris OS is accessible locally, the server module boots. Otherwise, the system uses the boot net command
to seek a boot device on the network.
You are now connected to the server module host.
The server module hardware installation is complete and the server module is ready to be configured to suit
your needs. For details on the Oracle Solaris OS configuration process, see the Netra SPARC T3-1B Server
Module Installation Guide and the installation guides for your version of Oracle Solaris OS.
▼Check for the Latest OS, Patches, and Firmware
Later versions of OS, patches, and firmware might be available for your server module. Some features can
only be enabled when certain patches or firmware are installed. Install the latest available versions for the
best performance, security, and stability.
