TABLE 2-1 environmental requirements for the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems and the customer selected I/O expansion racks. If the system is significantly colder (40 °F [4 °C] or colder) than the environment in which you will install it, leave the system in its shipping crate at its final destination for 24 hours to prevent thermal shock and condensation.
Basic Cooling Requirements provide air conditioning information for the various TABLE 2-2 TABLE 2-3 components in the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems based upon the maximum system configuration. Use the worksheet in (see Appendix A for an expanded TABLE 2-3 form to use and retain for your records) to determine your system power and cooling requirements.

To prevent catastrophic failures, the design of the power system must ensure that adequate power is provided to your Sun Fire 15K/12K systems. Sun Microsystems suggests that all power circuits supplying power to the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems be derived from dedicated electrical distribution panels. Electrical work and installations must comply with applicable local, state, or national electrical codes.

The Sun Fire 15K/12K systems require 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX Ethernet connections for each System Control (SC) board. There are several networks to plan and set up for the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems. Two networks are internal to the platform, the others are external and require cabling.
System Setup Information The information in the sections below must be determined prior to the installation of the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems. Most system information is network related and must be provided by the customer. identifies the network interfaces TABLE 4-2 available and their function.
All external connections to the SC should be through the user community logical interface L–Cx, so clients are always directed to the main SC. Network Configurations For the System Controller, there are two types of network configurations: high availability (HA) and non HA. In either of the network configurations, the following is true: The domains can connect to any number of user communities.
Domain B DB-Cx SC0-I1 DC-I1 Domain C DC-Cx SC0-I2 SI2 Network SC1-I2 SC1-CA SC1-CA SC1-I1 DQ-I1 Domain Q DQ-Cx DR-I1 Domain R DR-Cx Spare SC Highly Available Network Configuration FIGURE 4-1 Sun Fire 15K/12K Systems Site Planning Guide • June 2003...
4.3.2 Non-HA Network Configuration A non-HA network configuration is shown in FIGURE 4-2 Advantages: Up to two user community connections to the System Controller. Disadvantages: A failure of any single network connection induces an SC failover. Community A F-CA Main SC DA-I1 Domain A DA-Cx...
4.4.1 Platform Name The Sun Fire 15K/12K systems require a platform name. The platform name, globally unique within the network, is a logical name given to an entire system and does not correspond to any host on the network. The platform name is used as the default prefix for host names of internal network interfaces, see Section 4.4.2,...
4.4.2.1 I1 Network Host names and IP addresses are required for the I1 network. For the System Controller, only one host name and IP address is assigned to the I1 network. Only the main SC actively connects to the I1 network. The host names and IP addresses can be automatically assigned by smsconfig(1M) during installation.
Each subnet must be unique within the network. The System Controller can connect to a maximum of two user communities.
