Configuring a Chassis Slot for a Board

You can specify the type of board that is allowed in a given chassis slot using the
distributed management card CLI. The slot usage information is used by the
distributed management card software to audit board insertions and prevent
misconfigurations. You can also specify the boot device for the slot, that is, the path
to the device the board in the slot will boot from. When the board is powered on, the
FRU boot device information overwrites the entry in the OpenBoot PROM boot-
device NVRAM configuration variable on that board. The chassis slot information
can be changed at any time if desired using the distributed management card CLI.
By default, slots are configured to accept Sun-supported cPSB-only board FRUs
unless you specifically set an allowable plug-in for a specific slot. The exceptions are:
for a Netra CT 820 server, the distributed management cards must be in slot 1A and
1B and the switching fabric boards must be in slots 2 and 21.
To set allowable plug-ins for a particular slot, you need the vendor name and the
part number of the board. This FRU ID information can be displayed using the CLI
showfru command; see
