Quick Setup Instructions
For quick installation and configuration, follow these steps. For more detailed information, refer to the complete online
product documentation set at:
Understand the following information before you set up the server for the first time:
Choose the best instructions for your situation – These quick setup instructions work for any networking
■
environment, and require the use of a terminal device for connectivity to a serial port. If you have a networking
environment running DHCP, you can configure your system using the Ethernet management port. To take advantage
of DHCP setup method, refer to the online installation guide instead of these instructions.
Set aside sufficient time – Installation times vary, but if you are performing these setup instructions for the first
■
time, plan to spend about 45 to 75 minutes to complete all of these instructions. Additional time might be required
for installing optional hardware and rackmounting kits.
Gather your configuration information – During the configuration, you are prompted for time zone and networking
■
parameters that are specific to your environment. For a list of information you need, see
Obtain a terminal device – You configure this rackmountable server through the service processor (SP) using the
■
built-in serial and network management ports, and not through a graphical interface and Sun keyboard. For more
information about the terminal device, see
Do not apply power at this time – This system includes a service processor (SP) that is used to configure and boot
■
the main host server. To properly configure the host server and view SP messages, do not apply AC power to the
server until the SP and host networking connections are made, as described in this guide.
