Rackmounting the Server

For rackmounting instructions, refer to the Rackmount Guide and Template that is shipped with the server, the

service label on the server, and the Oracle Server X6-2 Installation Guide. You can use the shipping bracket, ordered

as a separate X-option component, to secure the installed servers when moving a rack.

Preparing for Installation and Power On

Setting up the server for the first time takes about 1 hour. Plan for additional time if you are also installing optional

components and rackmounting hardware.

Caution -

Do not apply full main power until instructed to do so. The server includes a service processor

(SP) that is used to configure and monitor the server. To properly configure the server and to view SP

messages, do not apply AC power to the server until the SP and server networking connections are made, as

described in this guide.

Prepare to Install the Server

1.

Choose the best way to set up your server environment.

The instructions in this guide work for any networking environment and require a terminal device for

connecting to the server's serial management port (SER MGT). If you have a networking environment

running Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP), you can configure your network using the network

management port (NET MGT) by following the instructions in the Oracle Server X6-2 Installation Guide.

2.

Obtain a terminal device.

To communicate with the SP, you need a terminal device, which can be a terminal, a terminal server, or a

laptop running terminal emulation software. Set up the terminal device to communicate using 9600 baud, 8

bit, no parity, and 1 stop bit. For DTE-to-DTE communication, you need to obtain an RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter

with a standard RJ-45 cable to set up a null modem configuration so that transmit and receive signals cross

over.
