Environmental Specifications 1.8.1 Tolerance of Environmental Conditions You can operate and store the system safely in the following conditions: Ambient temperature Operating: 5˚C to 40˚C (temporary operation outside these limits is permitted for a maximum of 96 hours within the range –5˚C to 55˚C) Storage: –40˚C to 70˚C Relative humidity Operating: 5% to 85% (non-condensing)
Cabinets often require cables to be run under the floor. What’s Next? When you have read this chapter, go to Chapter 2 to find out how to estimate the power and cooling requirements for your server. 1-10 Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 Server User’s Guide • August 2001...
Power and Cooling This chapter contains information about the power consumption of the Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 servers. It also tells you how to estimate the amount of heat that your cooling system must dissipate. The chapter contains the following sections: Section 2.1, “Operating Power Limits and Ranges”...
However, these figures represent “worst-case” scenarios. They are unlikely to be observed in a real installation. Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 Server User’s Guide • August 2001...

When the Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 servers are connected to a power source, they are always either fully powered or in standby power mode. To remove power entirely from the server you must disonnect its power cables or open all external circuit breakers.
For information about changing the first character of the LOMlite2 escape sequence, see Section 9.3.3, “Changing the First Character of the Sequence for Escaping to the lom> Prompt (lom -X)” on page 9-12. Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 Server User’s Guide • August 2001...
8.2.3 Exiting From the lom> Prompt To return to the Solaris console prompt from the lom> prompt, type: lom> console Note – If you have the Serial A/LOM port dedicated to the LOMlite2 device (instead of shared between the LOMlite2 and the console), this command will have no effect.
You must have r-level LOMlite2 permission to use the bootmode command. For information about user privileges, see Section 8.4, “Setting Up LOMlite2 Privileges for Named Users” on page 8-13. Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 Server User’s Guide • August 2001...
8.2.6.1 Boot Modes Available If you use the bootmode command without arguments, the LOMlite2 device reports just the current boot mode. The boot modes available are listed in TABLE 8-1 Boot Modes TABLE 8-1 Mode Description This option does not represent a boot mode. However, if you have previously dedicated the Serial A/LOM port to the LOMlite2 device and now want to share the port between the console and the LOMlite2 device, you can use the -u option to achieve this.

Separating the LOMlite2 From the Console on the Serial A/LOM Port By default, the LOMlite2 device shares the Serial A/LOM port with the console, and when it has an event report to send it takes control of the Serial A/LOM port itself, interrupting any console activity you are performing.
This means that by default it sends them to the console and stores them in the following file: /var/adm/messages 8-20 Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 Server User’s Guide • August 2001...
In this file the reports are displayed with a label identifying them as lom reports and indicating their severity. The different levels of severity are, in descending order: 1. Fatal These events might concern, for example, exceeded temperature thresholds or supply rail failures.

C H A P T E R Managing the Netra T1 Server From the Solaris Prompt This chapter tells you how to use the LOMlite2-specific commands available in the Solaris 8 operating environment for monitoring and managing a Netra T1 server. For an introduction to the LOMlite2 device and a description of an alternative user interface to it, see Chapter 8.

Note – If there are any failures of the PSU that affect more than just the input or output lines, Solaris will not run. However, if standby power is present, you can still use the LOMlite2 shell commands described in Chapter 8. 9.1.3 Checking the Fans (lom -f) To check the fans, type:...
To check the internal temperature of the sytem and also the system’s warning and shutdown threshold temperatures, type: # lom -t System Temperature Sensors: 1 enclosure 25 degC : warning 67 degC : shutdown 72 degC System Over-temperature Sensors: 1 cpu status=ok Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 Server User’s Guide • August 2001...

Other LOM Tasks You Can Perform From Solaris This section tells you how to turn the alarms and Fault LEDs on and off by using the lom command. It also tells you how to change the first character of the lom escape sequence, how to stop the LOMlite2 device from sending reports to the Serial A/LOM port, how to remove driver protection from the device driver, how to make the LOMlite2 interface backward compatible, and how to upgrade the firmware on...
LOMlite2 event reports can interfere with information you are attempting to send or receive on the Serial A/LOM port. To stop the LOMlite2 device from sending reports to the Serial A/LOM port, type: # lom -E off 9-12 Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 Server User’s Guide • August 2001...
By default, the Serial A/LOM port is shared by the console and the LOMlite2 device. The LOMlite2 interrupts the console whenever it needs to send an event report. To prevent the LOMlite2 from interrupting the console on Serial A/LOM, turn serial event reporting off.
If you have scripts written to the LOMlite interface on the Netra t1 Model 100/105 server or the Netra t 1400/1405 server and you want to use these scripts on the Netra T1 AC200 or DC200 server, you can add file system links that make this possible. To do so, simply type: # lom -B When you have done this, you will be able to use the old scripts on the new system.
C H A P T E R Troubleshooting This chapter lists some problems that you might encounter when setting up or using the Netra T1 server and tells you how to solve them. It also explains how to interpret the LEDs on the server’s front and back panels. The chapter contains the following sections: Section 10.1, “Solutions to Problems You Might Encounter”...

Problem: Card Not Recognised During Installation or Bootup The Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 servers are fitted with a System Configuration Card. If the card moves during transit then the server will not be able to read the card, and as a result will not boot.
The voltage on one of the server’s output supply rails is too high. (By default, this causes the server to shut down. For information about configuring the server not to shut down in this condition, see Appendix A.) 10-4 Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 Server User’s Guide • August 2001...

C H A P T E R Replacing a Server or Replacing Individual Components If you ever need to replace an entire Netra T1 server, this chapter describes how to transfer the old server’s configuration information (including its MAC address, serial number and NVRAM settings) to a new server by using the old server’s configuration card.
11.1 Replacing a Server The Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 servers contain a memory card (accessible by removing the unit’s front bezel) called the System Configuration Card. This card contains the values for the system’s IDPROM (Host ID, MAC address, date and Cyclic Redundancy Check value) and NVRAM variables.
Caution – Do not handle the System Configuration Card unless you need to transfer it to another system. If you need to handle it for this reason, avoid contact with the gold terminals on the underside of the card.
