Satisfying the following conditions ensures a straightforward installation of the server module:
Note - For more information about preparing the modular system and the CMM ILOM, refer to the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System Installation Guide.
This server module is a SAS-2 component. You must upgrade the firmware of all SAS-1 components (such as SAS-1 NEMs and disk modules) to a firmware version that supports SAS-1/SAS-2 coexistence. You must complete this firmware upgrade before you insert this server module or any other SAS-2 component into the modular system chassis. Refer to the SAS-1/SAS-2 Compatibility Upgrade Guide for more information. See Related Documentation.
Be ready to insert the server module within 60 seconds of removing the filler panel.
As soon as you insert the server module in a powered modular system, power is supplied to the server module and the SP generates messages. If you want to see these messages, be ready to connect using one of the methods in Plan Communication With the Server Module During Installation.
