Performing a Cold Boot Causes Inherent
Delays
A cold boot (powering up the system) on a server with 12 disks takes about 5
minutes to boot up. This is because there are inherent delays in powering up each of
the disk drives sequentially. This situation should not be misinterpreted as problems
with booting.
Installing a Netra 150 Server in a
Generic (Non-Sun) Cabinet
It may be possible for you to install a Netra 150 server in a cabinet that you bought
from a company other than Sun Microsystems as long as the cabinet is between 30"
and 36" in depth. You can use the instructions given in the Model 150 Server Series
Rack-Ready Installation Manual (802-6742-10) to install a Netra 150 server in a non-Sun
cabinet as long as you keep the following things in mind:
1. The Netra 150 server takes up six rack units in a cabinet.
2. The instructions in the sections Powering Off the Expansion Cabinet and Internal
Access (pages 2-1 through 2-5) apply to Sun cabinets only; refer to the manual
that you received with your generic cabinet for instructions on powering off your
cabinet and removing the outer panels.
3. The instructions in steps 17 and 18 on page 2-11 apply to Sun cabinets only. When
you get to this point in the instructions, substitute steps 17 and 18 with these
steps:
1. Measure the distance between the side rails on your rack.
Figure 1–3 shows the distance measured between the two side rails on a Sun rack,
which is 34 inches. Keep in mind that you want to measure from the outer part of
the side rails.
