Powering On The Server; Keyswitch (Sun Fire V240 Only); To Power On From The Keyboard - Sun Microsystems Sun Fire V210 Installation Manual

Powering On The Server

To power on the server, you can use either the On/Standby switch located behind
the front bezel, or you can use the keyboard. Powering on from the keyboard is
better because you can see system output as the server powers on.

Keyswitch (Sun Fire V240 only)

Before you begin the procedures in this section, make sure that the keyswitch is in
the normal position. This position allows the On/Standby switch to control the
power state of the server. For more information on the operation of the keyswitch,
see the Sun Fire V210 and V240 Server Administration Guide.
The Sun Fire V210 server does not have a keyswitch.

To Power On From The Keyboard

1. Connect the server to the power supply.
The server automatically goes into Standby power mode when it is connected to a
power source.
2. Set up a connection to the SERIAL MGT port.
For details, see "Setting Up a Console Connection to the Server" on page 36.
When you switch to the ALOM prompt after initial poweron, you will be logged in
as the admin user and prompted to set a password. You must set this password in
order to execute certain commands.
3. If you are prompted to do so, set a password for the admin user.
The password must:
contain at least two alphabetic characters
contain at least one numeric or one special character
be at least six characters long
Once the password is set, the admin user has full permissions and can execute all
ALOM CLI commands.
4. Turn on power to any peripherals and external storage devices you have connected
to the server.
Read the documentation supplied with the device for specific instructions.
