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:
