Refer to the following sections to power on the system either locally or remotely:
Do not use this power-on procedure if you have just added any new internal option or external storage device, or if you have removed a storage device without replacing it. To power on the system under those circumstances, you must initiate a reconfiguration boot. For those instructions, see Initiating a Reconfiguration Boot .
|
Caution - Never move the system when the system power is on. Movement can cause catastrophic hard drive failure. Always power off the system before moving it. |
|
Caution - Before you power on the system, ensure that the system doors and all panels are properly installed. |
1. Turn on power to any external peripherals and storage devices.
Read the documentation supplied with the device for specific instructions.
2. Establish a connection to the system console.
If you are powering on the system for the first time, connect a device to the serial management port using one of the methods described in the Netra 440 Server Installation Guide. Otherwise, use one of the methods for connecting to the system console, also described in the Netra 440 Server Installation Guide.

The power supply Power OK LEDs light when power is applied to the system. Verbose (POST) output is immediately displayed to the system console if diagnostics are enabled at power-on, and the system console is directed to the serial and network management ports.
The system can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 20 minutes before text messages appear on the system monitor (if one is attached) or the system prompt appears on an attached terminal. This time depends on the system configuration (number of CPUs, memory modules, PCI cards, and console configuration) and the level of POST and OpenBoot Diagnostics tests being performed. The System Activity LED lights when the server is running under control of the Solaris OS.
7. Turn the rotary switch to the Locked position (FIGURE 2-2).
This prevents anyone from accidentally powering off the system.
Do not use this power-on procedure if you have just added any new internal option or external storage device, or if you have removed a storage device without replacing it. To power on the system under those circumstances, you must initiate a reconfiguration boot. For those instructions, see Initiating a Reconfiguration Boot .
To issue software commands, you need to set up an alphanumeric terminal connection, a local graphics monitor connection, ALOM connection, or a TIP connection to the Netra 440 server. See the Netra 440 Server Installation Guide for more information about connecting the Netra 440 server to a terminal or similar device.
