圖形

c. Replace the screw in hole 79 removed in step a above. Now, the tail of the bayonet hinge overlays the air baffle, so the screw must penetrate through the hinge and air baffle and thread into the rack. d. Tighten all screws to secure the hinge and air baffle in place.
  1. Assemble the terminal concentrator unit into the bracket.

    a. Place the terminal concentrator on the bracket as shown in Figure 9-9. b. Shove the terminal concentrator to the left -- snug against the left side of the bracket.

    c. Install the clamp piece to secure the unit to the bracket.

    Place the clamp piece on the right side of the terminal concentrator. Align holes in the clamp piece with holes in the bracket. See Figure 9-9.

圖形

d. Install three screws to secure the clamp piece (and terminal concentrator) to the bracket and tighten.
This completes assembly of the bracket assembly.
  1. Install the terminal concentrator bracket onto the hinge in the chassis.

    a. Tilt the bracket slightly and align the top hinge hole in the bracket with the mating stud on top of the hinge.

    Raise the right side of the bracket about six inches above the left.

    b. Drop the right side of the bracket (to level it) while aligning the screw hole in the bottom of the bracket with the threaded hole in the hinge.

    See Figure 9-9.

    c. Secure the bracket to the hinge.

    Install a keeper screw (shown in Figure 9-9) through the bracket into the hinge and tighten. Figure 9-10 shows the bracket installed.

    Plug the terminal concentrator cord into the power sequencer. Refer to Figure 9-7 for the correct connector location.


Note - The terminal concentrator data cabling has not yet been performed. However, swing the terminal concentrator bracket closed so it does not protrude and present a hazard to personnel working around the cabinet.

9.2.6 Configuring the Card Cages

For instructions on removing system boards, refer to documentation supplied with the system boards or the SPARCserver 1000 System Service Manual.

9.2.6.1 SBus Cards

If SBus cards or other devices are to be installed, do it now.
* Load the system boards 0 through 3 as appropriate with the intended SBus card complement.
For SBus card installation procedures, refer to documentation supplied with the card(s) in question or to the SPARCserver 1000 System Service Manual.

Note - Load the respective system boards for both servers identically.


Note - Beyond minimum configuration it is recommended that FC/S cards be installed in the first available empty SBus slot, following all other boards in the system. This will ensure that the controller numbering is preserved if the Solaris Operating Environment is reinstalled. Refer to Section 2 of the SPARCcluster High Availability Software Administration Guide for a discussion of problems that can arise if this recommendation is ignored.

9.2.6.2 System Boards

  1. Install the system boards loaded with SBus cards into the card cage.

    For system board installation procedures, refer to documentation supplied with the system boards or the SPARCserver 1000 System Service Manual.

9.2.7.1 Connecting the Administration Workstation


CAUTION Warning - DO NOT plug a keyboard directly to a node system board. If a keyboard is plugged into a system board, it then becomes the default for console input, thus preventing input from the system administration workstation/terminal concentrator serial port. In addition, plugging a keyboard directly into a node system board while power is applied to the node sends a break signal to the Solaris operating system, just as if you had typed a L1-A on the console.

  1. Plug one end of cable PN 530-2152 into the terminal concentrator, Port 1 (RJ-45). See Figure 9-13.

    Swing the terminal concentrator bracket open to expose connectors, if necessary.

  2. Plug the other end into the administration workstation Serial A socket.

    For your reference, Table 9-3 summarizes cables that can be connected at this time. Your system may have more network cables than are listed in this table.

9.2.7.4 Connecting the SPARCstorage Arrays

Installing the Second FC/OM Optical Modules in all SPARCstorage Arrays.
The arrays are delivered with one FC/OM optical module installed. Install the second module in the array using instructions provided with the module.
Labeling Fiber Optic Cables Fiber optic cables must be labeled prior to installation. Labeling ensures accurate installation and eases system reconfiguration and expansion later.
The suggested fiber optic cable labeling scheme for any given cable is:
  • one end connects to an FC/OM module in node 0 or 1 (cabinet A)
  • the other end connects to a FC/OM module in the SPARCstorage array of a given elevation in cabinet A or B (elevations are denoted by color from top to bottom, blue, red, orange, yellow, and white.
Affix labels to each cable, both ends, with the node, cabinet, and elevation information imprinted on it. Use Figure 9-17 through Figure 9-20 as a guide.
Cabling 1. Plug one end of the fiber cable into the FC/OM on the SBus card. See Figure 9-21 for cable type and connection details.
  1. Plug the other end of the fiber cable into the FC/OM connector on the SPARCstorage array rear panel.

    Plug node 0 into connector A and node 1 into connector B. Repeat to connect both nodes to both SPARCstorage arrays. Refer to Table 9-4 for a listing of all cable connections.

  2. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all FC/OM cables to be connected.

  3. Dress and secure all cables using cable ties as required.
