Guide (820-5198) for specific safety information.
Read the following safety statements that are specific to the Sun Netra CP3250 blade
server carefully before you install or remove any part of the system.
Caution – Depending on the particular chassis design, operations with open
equipment enclosures can expose the installer to hazardous voltages with a
consequent danger of electric shock. Ensure that line power to the equipment is
disconnected during operations that make high voltage conductors accessible.
The installer must be familiar with commonly accepted procedures for integrating
electronic systems and the general practice of Sun systems integration and
administration. Although parts of these systems are designed for hot-swap
operation, other components must not be subjected to such stresses. Work with
power connected to a shelf only when necessary, and follow these installation
procedures to avoid equipment damage.
This equipment is sensitive to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) from
clothing and other materials. Use the following antistatic measures during an
installation:
■
If possible, disconnect line power from the shelf when servicing a system or
installing a hardware upgrade. If the shelf cannot be placed on a grounded
antistatic mat, connect a grounding strap between the facility electrical input
ground (usually connected to the shelf) and facility electrical service ground.
■
Use an antistatic wrist strap when performing the following tasks:
■
Removing a blade server from its antistatic bag
■

3.5.3
LPC Bus Interface
The LPC bus is a multiplexed (command, address, and data) serialized 4-bit bus
with optional side band signals. It replaces the ISA/X-bus and reduces pin count
(approximately 40) over the ISA/X-bus.
LPC is designed to reduce the cost of traditional X-bus devices and meet the data
transfer rate of X-bus, exceeding those data rates where appropriated. It performs
the same cycle types as the X-bus: Memory, I/O, DMA and Bus Master. And, it
increases the memory space from 16 Mbytes on the X-bus to 4 GB to allow BIOS
sizes much greater than 1 Mbyte and other memory devices outside of the
traditional 16 MByte range.
The LPC is software transparent and does not require special drivers or
configuration for its interface. The motherboard BIOS configures all devices at boot
up. It has the ability to support a variable number of wait states, to have I/O and
memory cycles retried in SMM handler and to support wake-up and other power
state transitions. The design meets LPC 1.0 design guidelines.
The LPC bus provides system connectivity to the following devices:
■
■
■
■
Redundant BIOS
TPM
IPMC
RS-232 Serial Ports
3.5.4
Redundant BIOS
The Sun Netra CP3250 blade server provides redundant 1-Mbyte BIOS chips that
support redundant BIOS images for increased reliability.
The redundant Flash PROMs and SRAM devices are used by the BIOS. Each PROM
is an 8 MB flash device. The primary flash device (FWH0) contains the primary BIOS
image, factory default settings, and user configured settings. The primary BIOS chip
is automatically selected for update during a firmware upgrade.
The secondary flash device (FWH1) contains a backup copy, normally of the last
known good BIOS image, factory default settings, and last good user-configured
settings. The secondary BIOS chip retains the original BIOS image, and can be used
through manual configuration if the primary BIOS is corrupt.
In the event of a checksum or other failure during boot of the primary BIOS image,
the H8 switches the system over to the secondary device to allow system boot
recovery.

3.5.7
RS-232 Serial Ports
A Serial port is available on the front panel using an RJ-45 connector. This same port
is also wired through the Zone 3 connectors to provide a copy of this port on the
ARTM. This connector shares the SuperIO chip Port A with the H8-IPMI controller,
to allow console messages to be directed to the H8 when the external ports are not in
use. The blade server detects a valid RS232 connection to either the front or rear port
and will automatically disconnect the SuperIO port from the H8 and connect to the
external ports.
Note – The front and rear ports cannot be used at the same time because they share
the same wires.

modified accordingly.
If you are using the Solaris OS, the network interface driver configuration file,
nxge.conf, for the extended fabric ports of the Sun 10 GbE ASIC might need to be
modified to employ the proper switch and ARTM configurations. The nxge.conf
file is located in the /platform/i86pc/kernel/drvdirectory. The following
examples show the proper entries for each switch configuration.
Example 1: When extended fabric ports are connected to Netra CP3240 switches in
Slot 7 and Slot 8, the nxge.conffile should have the following entries:
name = "pciex108e,abcd" parent = "/pci@0,0/pci8086,65f8@4" unit-address ="0" phy-type = "xgsd";
name = "pciex108e,abcd" parent = "/pci@0,0/pci8086,65f8@4" unit-address ="0,1" phy-type =
"xgsd";
Example 2: When extended fabric ports are connected to Netra CP3140 switches in
Slot 7 and Slot 8, the nxge.conffile should have the following entries:
name = "pciex108e,abcd" parent = "/pci@0,0/pci8086,65f8@4" unit-address ="0" phy-type = "gsd";

5.7
Secondary BIOS Image
The Sun Netra CP3250 blade server provides dual 1-Mbyte BIOS chips that support
redundant BIOS images for increased reliability. The default chip (page 0) acts as the
primary BIOS chip and is automatically selected for update during a firmware
upgrade. The secondary BIOS chip (page 1) retains the original BIOS image, and can
be used through manual configuration in the unlikely case where the primary BIOS
becomes corrupt.
If the primary BIOS becomes unbootable, use the secondary BIOS to manually boot
the blade server:
1. Log into the Shelf Manager.
2. To select the secondary BIOS image, type:
# clia sendcmd 96 2e 81 00 00 2a 01
For example:
# clia sendcmd 96 2e 81 00 00 2a 01 <----- Setting the boot page to 1
Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
Completion code: 0x0 (0) <----- successful completion code
Response data: 00 00 2A
<----- no data returned
3. To boot the blade server from the Shelf Manager, type:
# clia activate board n
Note – Once the blade server is booted, reset the blade server to use the primary
BIOS image (page 0).

Power-On Self-Test
The system provides a rudimentary power-on self-test (POST) that runs each time
the blade server boots to check the basic devices required for the system to operate.
The progress of the self-test is indicated by a series of POST codes. These codes
appear at the bottom right corner of the system’s VGA screen (once the self-test has
progressed far enough to initialize the video monitor).
You can configure the level of POST testing and some POST display features through
the BIOS menus. For more information, see Section 5.10, “Changing POST Options”

C.1
Shelf Manager Command-Line Interface
The Shelf Manager command-line interface (CLI) can be used to communicate with
the intelligent management controllers of the shelf, with blade servers, and with the
Shelf Manager itself, through text commands. The CLI is an IPMI-based set of
commands that can be accessed directly or through a higher-level management
application or a script. Administrators can access the CLI through a Telnet
connection or the shelf management card serial port. Using the CLI, operators can
access information about the current state of the shelf including current FRU
population, current sensor values, threshold settings, recent events, and overall shelf
health.
▼ To Start the Command-Line Interface
1. To use the CLI, first log on to the Linux operation system on the shelf
management card.
2. Once logged in, run the executable cliafrom the command line with specific
parameters.
The first parameter is the command verb. The cliaexecutable is located on the
virtual rootfile system maintained by Linux running on the shelf management
card. The cliaexecutable connects to the main Shelf Manager software process,
passes the command information to it, and retrieves the results. The Shelf
Manager must be running prior to starting the CLI. For example:
# clia ipmc 20
Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
20: Entity: (d0, 0) Maximum FRU device ID: 20
PICMG Version 2.0
Hot Swap State: M4, Previous: M3, Last State Change Cause: Normal State Change
(0)

If started without parameters, cliaenters an interactive mode. In that mode, the
program repeatedly issues a prompt to the terminal, accepts user input as the
next command with parameters, executes that command, and shows the results
on the terminal, until the user types the command exitor quit. For example:
# clia
Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
CLI> ipmc 20
20: Entity: (d0, 0) Maximum FRU device ID: 20
PICMG Version 2.0
Hot Swap State: M4, Previous: M3, Last State Change Cause: Normal State Change
(0)
CLI> exit
