Page 43: Powering The System On And Off
Caution – For Solaris 2.X users: before powering on the system for the first time, read Section 3.3, “Precautions for JumpStart Automatic Installation.” To power on the SPARCcenter 2000 system: 1. Begin with a safety inspection of the system: a. Turn the system key switch to (the standby position). - Page 44 Standby Diagnostics Secure Figure 4-1 Key Switch Positions c. Verify that the cabinet AC power cord is plugged into a wall socket. Caution – The outlet must be a 200-240 Vac 30-ampere circuit intended solely for use by the server cabinet. The electrical receptacles must be grounded, and the grounding conductors serving these receptacles must be connected to the earth ground at the service equipment.

Page 47: Reading Boot Messages
Note – If the middle front panel LED remains lit after the system has booted, POST has found (and deconfigured) failing hardware in the main cabinet. Note – POST does not test drives or internal parts of SBus cards. To test these devices, run OpenBoot PROM (OBP) diagnostics manually after the system has booted. -
Page 48: Interpreting Status Led Patterns
A terminal is necessary, both to see the OBP message, and to enter a slot selection—the system is not hung, but will pause indefinitely until you enter a selection. Refer to the SPARCcenter 2000 Service Manual for information about system master board selection. -
