Tools Needed #2 Phillips screwdriver ■ ESD mat and grounding strap ■ Shipping Kit Inventory List Standard components of Sun Fire T2000 server are installed at the factory. However, if you ordered options such as a PCI card and monitor, these are shipped to you separately.
If you ordered any options that are not factory-installed, see the Sun Fire T2000 Server Service Manual for installation instructions. Note – The list of optional components can be updated without notice. Refer to the Store web site (http://store.sun.com) for the most current list of components supported in the Sun Fire T2000 server.

4. Mount the server into a rack or cabinet. See “Installing the Server in a Rack” on page Note – In the rest of this manual, the term rack means either an open rack or a closed cabinet. 5. Connect the server to a serial terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to display system messages.
12. Configure the Solaris™ OS. See “Booting the Solaris Operating System” on page The Solaris OS is preinstalled on the server. When you power on, you are automatically guided through the Solaris OS configuration procedure. 13. Install any required patch or patches to the server. Refer to the Sun Fire T2000 Server Product Notes for a list of the required patches.

The SC serial management port (labeled SERIAL MGT) uses an RJ-45 cable ■ and is always available. This is the default connection to the ALOM-CMT system controller. The SC network management port (labeled NET MGT) is the optional ■ connection to the ALOM-CMT system controller. This port is not available until you have configured network settings for the system controller (through the SC serial management port).
Slide Rail Assembly Notes The rackmount kit has two slide rail assemblies. A slide rail assembly can be installed on either the right or left side of the rack. Each slide rail assembly consists of a three-section slide rail and a removeable mounting bracket ( FIGURE 1-4 Mounting bracket...
Safety Precautions Caution – Deploy the anti-tilt bar on the cabinet or rack before beginning an installation. Caution – The server weighs approximately 40 lb (18 kg). Two people are required to lift and mount the system into a rack enclosure when using the procedures in this chapter.
C H A P T E R Installing the Sun Fire T2000 Server This chapter provides instructions for installing the Sun Fire T2000 server in an open rack or closed cabinet. This chapter contains the following sections: “Installing the Server in a Rack” on page 11 ■...
To Install the Slide Rail Assemblies ▼ 1. Pull both mounting brackets completely out of their respective slide rails: a. Simultaneously press and hold the upper and lower lock buttons of the slide rail lock ( FIGURE 2-1 Unlocking the Slide Rail Assembly FIGURE 2-1 b.
Location of the Mounting Bracket Release Button FIGURE 2-2 d. Press the metal lever (labeled Push) on the middle section ( ) of the FIGURE 2-3 sliding rail, then push the middle section back into the rack. Chapter 2 Installing the Sun Fire T2000 Server...
Metal lever Unlocking the Slide Rail Middle Section FIGURE 2-3 2. Attach a mounting bracket to the right side of the Sun Fire T2000 chassis. a. Position the mounting bracket against the server chassis ( ) so that the FIGURE 2-4 slide rail lock is at the front and the three keyed openings on the mounting bracket are aligned with the three locating pins on the side of the chassis.
Attaching a Mounting Bracket to the Chassis FIGURE 2-4 b. With the heads of the three locating pins protruding though the three keyed openings in the mounting bracket, pull the mounting bracket toward the front of the chassis until the bracket locks into place with an audible click. c.
5. Determine which screws you will use to mount the slide rails. If your rack has threaded mounting holes in the rack posts, determine whether the threads are metric or standard. Select the appropriate screws from the package included in the mounting kit. If your rack does not have threaded mounting holes, the mounting screws are secured with a caged nut.
c. Loosely attach the rear of the slide rail to the rear rack post with two screws. 7. Attach the second slide rail to the left rack posts in a similar manner. Again, do not tighten the screws. 8. Use the slide rail spacing tool to adjust the distance between the slide rails: a.
d. At the rear of the rack, repeat Step a through Step c. for the rear ends of the rails. 9. Deploy the anti-tilt bar, if the chassis or rack is so equipped. Caution – The weight of the server on extended slide rails can be enough to overturn a cabinet.
11. Slide the chassis into the rack. Caution – Verify that the server is securely mounted in the rack, and that the slide rails are locked to the mounting brackets, before continuing. ▼ To Install the Cable Management Kit The cable management assembly (CMA) clips into the ends of the left and right sliding rail assemblies.
Inserting the CMA Rail Extension Into the Rear of the Left Slide Rail FIGURE 2-8 The right sides of the two CMA arms have hinged extensions. On the manufacturer’s instruction sheet, the smaller extension is called the CMA Connector for Inner Member. It attaches to the right mounting bracket. The larger extension is called the CMA Connector for Outer Member, and attaches to the right sliding rail.
Mounting the Inner CMA Connector FIGURE 2-9 3. Insert the larger extension into the end of the right sliding rail ( FIGURE 2-10 Chapter 2 Installing the Sun Fire T2000 Server...
Attaching the Outer CMA Connector FIGURE 2-10 4. Insert the hinged plastic connector at the left side of the CMA fully into the CMA rail extension ( FIGURE 2-11 The plastic tab on the CMA rail extension locks the hinged plastic connector in place.
Mounting the Left Side of the Slide Rail FIGURE 2-11 To Verify the Operation of the Slide Rails and ▼ the CMA Tip – Two people are needed this procedure: one to move the server in and out of the rack and one to observe the cables and CMA. 1.
Unlocking the Slide Rail Assembly FIGURE 2-12 3. Inspect the attached cables for any binding or kinks. 4. Verify that the CMA extends fully and does not bind in the slide rails. 5. When the server is fully extended out, release the slide rail lever stops FIGURE 2-13 Push both levers simultaneously and slide the server back into the rack.

Slide Rail Release Button FIGURE 2-14 The server should stop after approximately 15 inches (40 cm) of travel. 7. Verify that the cables and the CMA retracted without binding. 8. Adjust the cable hangers and CMA as required. Dismounting the Server If it becomes necessary to remove the server from the rack, or to open the server case for maintenance or hardware upgrades, refer to the Sun Fire T2000 Server Service Manual for procedures.

Enabling the System Controller Network Management Port The system controller network management port is not operational until you configure network settings for the system controller. Configure the system controller in this order: 1. After the system controller boots, access the ALOM-CMT command line interface through the serial management port.
The sc prompt is displayed at the first time the system controller is booted. The default configuration provides an ALOM-CMT user account called admin. There is no default password, so you must create a password using the system controller (sc) password command.
