Powering On the System for the First
Time
Tip – The serial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you
connect the power cables, or you will not see the system messages. The server goes
into standby mode and the ALOM-CMT system controller initializes as soon as the
AC power cables are connected to the power source.
Note – If you are not logged in, ALOM-CMT times out after 60 seconds and reverts
to the system console. For more information, refer to the Sun Fire T2000 Server
Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) Guide.
The system controller runs on the 3.3v standby voltage. As soon as AC power is
connected to the system, the system controller powers on, runs diagnostics, and
initializes the ALOM-CMT firmware.
