Planning and Preparing for System  
Installation  
This chapter describes what should be checked when planning SPARC M12 and PCI  
expansion unit installation. Before installation, you need to understand the system  
configuration and obtain all the prerequisite condition information for installation.

Safety Precautions  
This section describes precautions regarding installation of the SPARC M12 and PCI  
expansion unit. Be sure to follow the precautions below when performing installation  
work. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the device or a malfunction.  
Follow all the stated precautions, warnings, and instructions for the SPARC M12-1  
and PCI expansion unit.  
The SPARC M12-1 and the PCI expansion unit is not suitable for use in locations  
where children are likely to be present. Therefore, care should be taken to place  
the device in an environment away from children.  
Do not insert any foreign object into the openings in the SPARC M12-1 or PCI  
expansion unit. Any object that touches a high-voltage part or causes a component  
to short circuit may lead to fire or electric shock.  
7
Contact a service engineer for details of SPARC M12-1 inspection and PCI  
expansion unit inspection.  
Safety precautions when working with electricity  
Confirm that the voltage and frequency of your input power match the electrical  
rating described on the system name plate label affixed on the server.  
Make sure to wear a wrist strap when handling the internal storage (HDD/SSD),  
motherboard unit, memory, or other printed circuit boards.  
Make sure to use grounded power outlets.  
Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the chassis. We do not take  
responsibility for regulatory compliance of a modified chassis.  
Do not disconnect a power cord from the chassis while it is still powered on.  
Safety precautions regarding racks  
The rack must be secured to the floor, ceiling, or nearest frame.  
The quakeresistant options kit may be supplied with the racks. The use of the  
quakeresistant options kit prevents the rack from toppling over when the chassis  
is pulled out from the slide rails for installation or maintenance.  
In the following cases, a safety evaluation must be performed by a service  
engineer before installation or maintenance.  
- If the quakeresistant options kit is not supplied and the rack is not secured to the  
floor with bolts, a service engineer confirms the safety of the rack, such as by  
verifying that it does not topple over when the chassis is pulled out from the  
slide rails.  
- If the rack is mounted on a raised floor, a service engineer confirms that the floor  
can withstand the load when the chassis is pulled out from the slide rails. Secure  
the rack to the concrete floor beneath the raised floor by using the original  
mounting kit that serves this purpose.  
If multiple SPARC M12-1 units and PCI expansion units are mounted in the rack,  
perform maintenance on one unit at a time.  
Safety precautions regarding installation work  
With this chassis installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient  
temperature inside the rack operating environment may be greater than the  
ambient room temperature. Therefore, consideration must be given to installing  
the chassis in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated  
ambient temperature.  
- Consideration of air-conditioning adjustments, such as air circulation, is needed  
to prevent the ambient temperature inside the rack from exceeding the  
maximum ambient operating temperature of this chassis.  
- Maximum ambient operating temperature of this chassis: 35°C

Fujitsu SPARC M12-1 Installation Guide September 2020  
- To prevent overheating, do not cover or close these ventilation slits.  
The mounting of the chassis in the rack should not create any hazardous condition  
due to uneven mechanical loading. To keep the entire rack stable, secure the rack  
to the wall or floor by suitable means.  
- Be careful not to injure yourself or others when installing the chassis in the rack.  
- Do not install this chassis in the rack if it may make the entire rack unstable.  
- Weight of this chassis in the maximum configuration:  
Model SP-1S (SPARC M12-1): 18 kg  
Model SP-PCI-BOX (SPARC PCI-BOX): 22 kg  
If the chassis is supplied power from a power strip or the service outlet of another  
chassis, it may overload the power strip or the power cord of the other chassis.  
- Confirm that the power strip or the power cord of the service outlet exceeds the  
combined ratings of all the equipment to which it supplies power.  
Electrical ratings of this chassis:  
Model SP-1S: 100-120/200-240 VAC, 10.0/5.0 A, 50/60 Hz, Single phase  
(Maximum 2 inputs)  
Model SP-PCI-BOX: 100-120/200-240 VAC, 5.0-4.2/2.5-2.1 A, 50/60 Hz, Single  
phase (Maximum 2 inputs)  
Be sure to securely ground the rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention  
to power supply connections other than the direct connections to branch circuits  
(e.g., use of power strips).  
Caution -  
If all the power cords of this chassis are connected to one power strip, a  
high leakage current may flow through the grounding wire of the power strip. Be  
sure to connect the grounding wire before connecting the power supply. If the power  
strip is not directly connected to a branch circuit, a power strip that has an  
industrial-type attachment plug must be used.  
Install this equipment such that it is near a wall and a power outlet is easily  
accessible.

Fujitsu SPARC M12-1 Installation Guide September 2020  
Handling cables inside the rack  
For maintenance work on the SPARC M12-1 and its expansion with optional  
components, the chassis may be pulled out from the front of the rack. If the chassis  
is mounted in a third-party rack, the cable management arm may not be attached  
to the rack. Even if it is attached, it may not function normally. If the cable  
management arm is not attached, the chassis cannot be pulled out from the rack  
with the cables still connected. In such cases, power off the chassis and then  
disconnect the cables. After that, pull out the chassis.  
Other conditions  
In addition to structural conditions, the following condition must be taken into  
consideration.  
- Considering cooling inside the rack, install the rack such that the temperature of  
the product mounted in the rack meets the temperature conditions. For details,  
see "2.5 Checking Environmental Conditions." Particularly, make sure that  
exhaust from the chassis does not re-enter the chassis through the air intakes.  
This requires measures such as covering the front and rear of empty spaces  
inside the rack.

Checking Environmental Conditions  
This section describes the environmental conditions for the SPARC M12 systems. The  
server can be installed at locations that meet the environmental conditions listed in  
Table 2-4.  
Note -  
When designing environmental control systems such as air conditioning facilities,  
confirm that the SPARC M12-1 air intake and the PCI expansion unit air intake meet the  
requirements specified in this section.  
18  
Fujitsu SPARC M12-1 Installation Guide September 2020  
The environmental conditions described in Table 2-4 reflect test results from the  
SPARC M12-1 and PCI expansion unit. The optimal conditions represent the  
recommended environment in operation. The component failure rate may increase  
substantially when the system operates for prolonged periods in an environment that  
is at or close to the operation-time (in operation) limit values, or when the system is  
installed in an environment that is at or close to the non-operation-time (not in  
operation) limit values. To minimize the occurrence of system downtime due to a  
component failure, set the temperature and humidity within the optimal condition  
range.  
 
The following conditions must be met to prevent overheating:  
Neither warm air nor hot air blows directly on the front of the rack  
Neither warm air nor hot air blows directly on the front panel of any chassis

*4 To install the SPARC M12-1 in the office, use a rack designed to operate at higher temperatures.  
2.5.1  
2.5.2  
Ambient Temperature  
To maintain system reliability and operator comfort, the optimal ambient temperature  
is 21°C to 23°C (70°F to 74°F). This temperature range makes it easy to maintain the  
relative humidity. While the system is operating within this range, even a failure of  
the air conditioning facilities does not cause it to suddenly stop.  
Ambient Relative Humidity  
To process data safely, the optimal ambient relative humidity is 45% or higher but  
less than 50%. The reasons for this are as follows:  
A humidity in the optimum range can protect the system from corrosion issues  
caused by high humidity  
A humidity in the optimum range means that even a failure of the air conditioning  
facilities does not cause the system to suddenly stop  
A humidity in the optimum range can prevent failures and malfunctions caused  
by electrostatic discharge  
 
A relative humidity that is too low is conducive to generating a static electricity  
discharge. The resulting intermittent interference may cause a failure or temporary  
malfunction.  
 
Electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur and harder to eliminate at locations  
with a relative humidity below 35%. Electrostatic discharge becomes a critical issue  
when the relative humidity falls below 30%. The set optimal relative humidity range  
20  
Fujitsu SPARC M12-1 Installation Guide September 2020  
is stricter than the guidelines applied to indoor locations with more relaxed  
environmental conditions such as general office environments. However, if the server  
is installed in a server room, this condition is not difficult to meet because server  
rooms utilize highly efficient moisture-proof materials and have fewer ventilation  
cycles.

following conditions when installing the system:  
The air conditioning facilities for the room are sufficient to meet the cooling  
conditions of the entire system  
The air conditioning facilities have control functions for preventing excessive  
temperature changes  
Table 2-7 lists the cooling conditions for each chassis.

The SPARC M12 systems are designed to function in an environment with natural  
convection airflow.  
 
The following requirements must be followed to meet the environmental specifications.  
Ensuring sufficient airflow for the entire system  
Each chassis is equipped with a cooling function for front-to-rear cooling. Each  
chassis has air vents on the front. Exhaust is expelled from the rear of each chassis.  
The SPARC M12 systems use internal fans whose airflow reaches the maximum  
exhaust airflow shown in Table 2-7 under normal operating conditions.  
Ensuring that temperature at the intake part of each chassis does not exceed the  
limit value  
Other devices mounted in the rack must not cause the temperature at the intake  
part of any chassis to exceed the limit value. This limit value in environmental  
conditions assumes that each chassis operates with the rack door closed.

Checking the Power Input Type  
This section describes the power input types that can be used with the SPARC M12  
systems. To prevent serious accidents, confirm that the power supply facilities can  
supply sufficient redundant power to the system.  
 
The server can use the following power input types:  
Redundant configuration of power supply units  
Dual power feed  
Three-phase power feed  
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connection (optional)  
2.8.1  
Redundant Configuration of Power Supply Units  
Each chassis has power supply units in a redundant configuration as standard. If a  
failure occurs in one power supply unit, the system can still continue to operate with  
the other power supply unit. However, if a failure occurs in the external power  
supply, the system stops.  
Figure 2-6 shows a power supply system with redundant power supply connections.  
 
When connecting the power cords to the same input power supply, make sure to  
connect each power cord to the connection destination in a one-to-one manner.

2.8.2  
Dual Power Feed  
Dual power feed is an option for receiving power feeds from two external power  
supplies. If a failure occurs in one external power supply, the system can still  
continue to operate with the other external power supply.  
 
Figure 2-7 shows a power supply system with dual power feed.  
 
For dual system connections, connect the power cords to the input power supplies on  
separate systems.

2.8.3  
Three-Phase Power Feed  
Three-phase power feed is a method of receiving power feeds from a three-phase  
power supply rather than a single-phase power supply.  
The customer needs to prepare an external power distribution box for three-phase  
power feed for the SPARC M12-1. There are two types of three-phase power feed:  
three-phase star connection and three-phase delta connection.  
 
Figure 2-8 and Figure 2-9 show power supply systems with three-phase power feed.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Connection  
(Optional)  
Using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) enables the stable supply of electrical  
power to the system in case of power failure, widespread power outage, etc.  
 
If the customer has ordered UPSs, use a separate UPS for each power supply system.

Preparing Power Supply Facilities  
This section describes the electrical specifications, power cord specifications, facility  
power requirements, and grounding requirements of SPARC M12 systems.  
 
To minimize component failure rates, a stable power supply such as a dual power  
feed or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) must be prepared. The component  
failure rate is likely to be higher when the system operates in an environment with  
frequent power outages or an unstable power supply than in an environment where  
the supply of power is stable.  
 
Electrical work and installation must be performed in accordance with the electrical  
regulations of the region, municipality, or country.  
Note -  
If the system will be used in a region where an appropriate input power outlet is not  
available, contact a certified electrician. Have the electrician remove the connectors from each  
power cord and connect the power cord to a dedicated branch circuit. Check the electrical  
regulations of the region about installation conditions.

Grounding Requirements  
Ground the SPARC M12-1 and PCI expansion unit appropriately according to the  
input power type.  
For single-phase input  
The components of the SPARC M12-1 and PCI expansion unit do not include a  
grounded (three-wire type) power cord. Order power cords that match the device.  
Always connect the power cords to grounded power outlets.  
To confirm the type of power supplied in the building, contact the facility  
administrator or a certified electrician.  
For three-phase input  
No power cord is supplied for three-phase input. Grounded power cords must be  
connected from the distribution panel directly to the terminal boards of the power  
supply chassis as part of local electrical work.  
Although common grounding is possible with this device, grounding methods  
vary depending on the building where the installation is done. When grounding  
devices using common grounding, make sure that grounding resistance is 10  
ohms or less. Be sure to have the facility administrator or a certified electrician  
confirm the grounding method for the building and perform the grounding work.  
Also, do not connect to the IT power distribution system of a power supply facility  
where the neutral phase of three phases is not grounded. Otherwise, equipment  
may malfunction or be damaged.  
2.10 Checking External Interface Port  
Specifications  
This section provides an overview of the specifications of the external interface ports  
required for installation and operation of the SPARC M12-1.  
 
You can use the following external interface ports on the SPARC M12-1.  
XSCF unit administration port  
Serial port  
The eXtended System Control Facility (XSCF) has one RS-232C-compliant serial  
port. You can monitor and control the system by connecting the system  
management terminal to the serial port. Functions that require TCP/IP are not  
available through the serial port.  
XSCF-LAN port  
In addition to the serial port, the XSCF has two 1000BASE-T LAN ports. You can  
remotely monitor and control the system by configuring a system control network  
using a LAN port. There are two types of interfaces available: a command-line  
30  
Fujitsu SPARC M12-1 Installation Guide September 2020  
interface (XSCF shell) and a browser user interface (XSCF Web).  
The XSCF-LAN ports support auto-negotiation only. Therefore, the communication  
speed/mode for the XSCF-LAN ports cannot be configured.  
Do not make a connection with a network switch or hub until you complete the  
network setting for the XSCF. If a connection is made before the completion of the  
setting, devices connecting with others may become unable to communicate, or  
unauthorized login by a malicious third party to the XSCF of this chassis may be  
unable to be prevented.  
XSCF USB port (for field engineers)  
Field engineers use this port to download information from the XSCF.  
Other unit ports  
10 GbE LAN port  
The port is used to connect Oracle Solaris to the network. There are four ports.  
Connection to the network is also possible through a LAN card, which is provided  
by the customer, mounted in a PCI Express (PCIe) slot.  
SAS port  
This port is used to connect an external SAS device.  
USB port  
This is a general-purpose USB port. Use the port to connect an external USB DVD  
device, etc.  
Figure 2-12 shows the locations of external interface ports on the SPARC M12-1.

Performing a Diagnosis Test  
This section describes the procedure for performing an initial diagnosis on the  
hardware before starting the system.  
Note -  
The SPARC M12-1 is powered on and off during the diagnosis test.  
For power-on during the diagnosis test, CPU Activation keys do not need to have been  
registered.  
Execute the testsb command.  
The testsb command performs an initial diagnosis on the hardware.  
1.  
The command powers on and off the SPARC M12-1 during the diagnosis. By  
specifying options, you can check whether HDD/SSD/PCIe cards are mounted.  
The following example performs an initial diagnosis and connection I/O check of  
the SPARC M12-1.  
<Description of options specified>  
-v: Additionally displays detailed messages of the initial diagnosis  
-p: Executes the "probe-scsi-all" command of OpenBoot PROM and displays the  
results while a diagnosis is being processed  
If the PCI expansion unit is connected, the results from the following XSCF  
command are displayed: ioxadm -v list.  
-s: Executes the "show-devs" command of OpenBoot PROM and displays the  
results while a diagnosis is being processed  
If the PCI expansion unit is connected, the results from the following XSCF  
command are displayed: ioxadm -v list.  
-a: Diagnoses all the mounted PSBs

Configuring Memory Mirroring  
This section describes how to configure memory mirroring.  
Note -  
Note -  
Configuring memory mirroring is optional.  
To configure memory mirroring, the SPARC M12-1 must be powered off.  
The SPARC M12-1 supports memory mirroring configurations to protect data  
through memory duplication. Data reliability increases, but the amount of available  
memory is halved.  
 
The memory access controller controls writing of data to memory and reading of  
data from memory. The SPARC M12-1 configures the mirroring by grouping  
memory into sets controlled by two memory access controllers.  
Note -  
and be the same rank.  
The memory grouped together in a mirroring group must all have the same capacity  
Execute the showfru command to check memory mirror mode.  
Memory mirror mode is set in the factory default settings.

sb. To configure it only for the specified CPU, specify cpu.  
 
For "location," specify the location of the target device.  
When specifying sb for "device," specify 00-0 for "location." When specifying cpu  
for "device," specify the location in the 00-0-z format. For z, specify 0.  
 
 
The following example sets all the CPUs mounted in the SPARC M12-1 to  
memory mirror mode.

Creating a PPAR Configuration List  
The SPARC M12-1 has only one physical partition. Therefore, a PPAR configuration  
list is set for every SPARC M12-1. For the SPARC M12-1, you can set only the  
96  
Fujitsu SPARC M12-1 Installation Guide September 2020  
configuration policy (specifying the degradation range for an error detected by an  
initial diagnosis of the hardware).  
Use the showpcl command to check a PPAR configuration list (PCL), and use the  
setpcl command to set a PCL. For an explanation of the setpcl command options, see  
the setpcl command man page or the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC  
M10 XSCF Reference Manual.  
In the case of the SPARC M12-1, a single SPARC M12-1 is treated as one physical  
partition (PPAR). Firmware treats the SPARC M12-1 in this circumstance as a single  
physical system board (PSB). The PPAR is defined by assigning the number of the  
logical system board (LSB) corresponding to the single PSB.  
Execute the showpcl command to check a PPAR configuration list.

For value, specify fru, psb, or system as the degradation unit.  
Between psb and system, whichever is specified, the range of degradation is the  
same. The default setting is fru.  
 
The following example sets the configuration policy to "All physical partitions"  
for physical partition 0.

Synchronizing the Physical Partition  
(PPAR) Time and XSCF Time  
This section describes the procedure for clearing the difference between the XSCF  
time, which is the system time, and the physical partition (PPAR) time.  
The XSCF keeps the time difference from the physical partition. With each change by  
the setdate command to the system time, the difference is updated with the  
difference between the physical partition time and the changed system time.  
Execute the showdate command to display the XSCF time.  
If you have set the time zone, the command displays the local time.  
1.  
The following example displays the current time in the local time zone.  
XSCF>  
showdate

Confirm that the set XSCF time is correct. To change the date and time,  
execute the setdate command.  
For details, see "5.6 Setting the Time."  
2.  
3.  
Execute the showdateoffset command to check the times difference between  
the XSCF system time and physical partition time.  
The following example displays the difference between the system time and the  
time of PPAR-ID 0.

6.10 Registering a CPU Activation Key  
6.10.1  
CPU Activation Key Application Conditions  
You can register a CPU Activation key with the SPARC M12-1 in units of one core.  
If CPU Activation keys are ordered together with the SPARC M12-1, they are  
shipped registered in the system. CPU Activation key registration alone does not  
make CPU cores available. After you have registered a CPU Activation key, you  
need to assign CPU core resources. Continue by performing the work in "6.11  
Assigning CPU Core Resources."  
Each CPU Activation key can be registered with only one SPARC M12-1 at the  
same time.  
Once registered with a SPARC M12-1, a CPU Activation key can be deleted from  
that SPARC M12-1 and then registered again with another one.  
The number/type of software licenses used with the registered CPU cores differs  
depending on the software. It is the responsibility of the customer to confirm that  
proper software licenses are installed for the addition of registered CPU cores.  
6.10.2  
Checking a CPU Activation Key  
Execute the showcodactivation command to check the CPU Activation key  
information.  
In the following example, no CPU Activation key has been installed.

The CPU Activation keys are contained in text files in the "ACTIVATION_KEY"  
folder on the CD-ROM. A file for registering the keys as a batch (XXXXX_XX.TXT)  
and another for registering them one at a time (XXXXX_XX_001.TXT, etc.) are  
provided. Use either file according to the situation.  
 
The methods of registering a CPU Activation key with the system are as follows:  
specify and register the CPU Activation key file; or copy and paste the CPU  
Activation key contents.  
How to specify and register the CPU Activation key file  
Copy the "ACTIVATION_KEY" contents on the CPU Activation key CD-ROM to  
a USB device.
