CHAPTER
1
System Overview
This chapter introduces you to the Sun Enterprise 220R server and explains some of
its features. The following information is covered in this chapter:
■ “About the Sun Enterprise 220R Server” on page 1
■ “Locating Front Panel Features” on page 4
■ “Locating Back Panel Features” on page 6
■ “About the Status and Control Panel” on page 7
About the Sun Enterprise 220R Server
The Sun Enterprise 220R server is a high-performance, shared memory, symmetric-
multiprocessing system. It is designed around Sun’s high-speed Ultra Port
Architecture (UPA) cross-bar system interconnect and Sun’s UltraSPARCTM II
processors, to deliver outstanding overall system performance.
The system is housed in a standard Electronic Industries Association 310 (EIA 310)
specification-compliant rackmountable enclosure. The enclosure measures 7.00
inches high, 17.25 inches wide, and 27.25 inches deep (17.8 cm x 43.8 cm x 69.2 cm).
The system has a maximum weight of 65 lb (34 kg). You may rackmount up to nine
systems in an empty 72-inch (182.80-cm) EIA-compliant cabinet, such as the Sun™
StorEdge Expansion Cabinet.
Processing power is provided by up to two modular UltraSPARC II CPUs, with up
to 4 Mbytes of local high-speed external cache memory. The system UPA’s clock rate
synchronizes automatically to the clock rate of the installed CPUs, and the UPA bus
operates at a clock rate that is a ratio of the speed of the CPU modules. For more
information about CPU modules, see “About CPU Modules” on page 67.

System main memory is provided by up to 16 dual in-line memory modules
(DIMMs), each of which is capable of storing 32, 64, or 128 Mbytes of data. Total
main memory is expandable up to 2 Gbytes. To enhance memory I/ O performance,
the system transfers 64 bytes of data into or from memory on each memory transfer.
For more information about system memory, see “About Memory” on page 66.
System I/ O is handled by two separate Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
buses. These industry-standard buses support all main logic board I/ O and up to
four PCI interface cards. One PCI bus operates at a 33-MHz clock rate and supports
up to three PCI cards, while the other bus can operate at either 33-MHz or 66-MHz
and supports one PCI card. All PCI cards plug in to slots provided on the system’s
main logic board. For more information about PCI buses, see “About Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI) Buses” on page 68.
Internal disk storage is provided by up to two 1-inch high, 3.5-inch wide
(2.54-cm x 8.89-cm), Ultra-Small Computer System Interface (UltraSCSI) disk drives.
Both drives are supported on the same channel with a 40-Mbyte per second wide
UltraSCSI interface provided direct to the system’s main logic board. Systems
configured with two disk drives can provide software mirroring and full hot-
pluggable boot drive capability. For more information about disk storage, see
“About Internal Disk Drives” on page 74.
External multi-disk storage subsystems and Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks
(RAID) storage arrays can be supported by installing single-channel or multi-
channel PCI host adapter cards along with the appropriate system software.
Software drivers supporting UltraSCSI, and other types of devices, are included in
the Solaris operating environment. For more information about RAID storage
support, see “About Internal Disk Drives” on page 74.
A 5.25-inch by 1.6-inch (13.35-cm x 4.06-cm) CD-ROM drive is standard, or a 1.0-inch
(2.54-cm) tape drive is optional, on the Sun Enterprise 220R server and is installed in
the upper bay of the removable media assembly (RMA). The CD-ROM drive has
multimedia features, which include multi-session capability and fast access for
image and video data.
Up to four external tape devices can be attached to the standard 68-pin 40-Mbyte per
second UltraSCSI port provided on the system’s back panel. Additional external tape
devices can be supported with appropriate PCI host adapter cards.
You can easily connect the Sun Enterprise 220R server to either a 10-Mbps or a
100-Mbps Ethernet by means of an auto-sensing Ethernet interface provided on the
system’s main logic board. In addition, the standard Media Independent Interface
(MII) port permits easy connection to a variety of external Ethernet transceivers.
Ethernet interfaces or connections to other networks, such as Fiber Distributed Data
Interface (FDDI), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), or token ring, can be provided
by installing the appropriate PCI interface cards. For more information, see
“Administration and Network Setup” on page 45.

The system console device can be a standard ASCII character terminal or a local
windowing subsystem. The ASCII terminal connects to one of the system’s two
serial ports, while a local windowing subsystem in a graphics console requires
installation of a PCI frame buffer card, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. UPA graphics
is not supported in the Sun Enterprise 220R server. The server can also be
administered from a remote system connected to the server over an Ethernet
network.
The Sun Enterprise 220R server provides two serial communications ports through a
pair of DB-25 connectors located on the back panel. It also provides one external,
2-Mbyte per second, bidirectional, Centronics-compatible, enhanced parallel port
(EPP) for connecting the system to a local printer or other compatible parallel device.
Power is provided by one or two 380-watt power supplies with dual internal fans.
System configurations with two power supplies provide both redundancy and full
hot-swap capability. For more information about the power supplies, see “About
Power Supplies” on page 76.
The Sun Enterprise 220R server has a rackmounting kit for installation into standard
29-inch to 32-inch (73.6-cm to 81.3-cm) deep EIA 310-compliant 19-inch (48.26-cm)
wide racks, with at least four rack units (7.0 inches, 17.78 cm) of vertical mounting
space available per server, and sufficient load-bearing capacity.
System reliability, availability, and serviceability are enhanced by features
that include:
■ Error-correcting code (ECC) on memory and all data paths
■ Parity checking on all address buses
■ Front panel status indicator lights
■ Hot-pluggable internal disk drives with easy front access
■ Support for RAID 0, 1, 0 + 1, and 5 implementations
■ Power system monitoring and fault protection
■ Power supply redundancy
■ Hot-swap power supplies with easy front panel access
■ Four levels of system diagnostics

How to Install the Sun Enterprise 220R
Server
Before You Begin
The Sun Enterprise 220R server is a general-purpose server, which you can use for
many types of applications. Exactly how you set up your machine depends in some
measure upon what you want it to do.
This procedure is intended to be as “generic” as possible, so as to cover the needs of
most sites. Even so, you will need to make certain decisions to complete the
procedure:
For background information about network support, see “About Network
Interface Options” on page 46.
■ How do you want to use/ configure your machine’s internal disks?
For background information about internal disk use, see “About Disk Array
Configurations and Concepts” on page 70.
■ What software do you intend to load?
Software included in the server media kit or other software products may impose
certain disk space or disk partitioning requirements. Refer to the documentation
accompanying the software to determine those requirements.
Once you’ve answered these questions, you’re ready to begin the installation
procedure.
What to Do
1. Verify that you’ve received all the parts of your system.
See “About the Parts Shipped to You” on page 12.
Chapter 2

System Setup
13
2. Install any optional drive shipped with your system.
Many of the options ordered with your system may have been pre-installed at the
factory. For information about how to install other options, see the Sun Enterprise
220R Server Service Manual or contact your qualified service provider. However, if
you ordered a second internal disk drive that was not factory-installed, see the
section:
■ “How to Install a Disk Drive” on page 95
Note – To install any additional options, contact your qualified service provider.
3. Install the system into the rack.
The server is shipped with inner glides attached. See “About Server Rackmounting”
on page 18 and the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Setup and Rackmounting Guide
accompanying your system for installation instructions for the rack. If the system’s
slide assembly rails are already mounted in a rack, see “How to Place the System
Into the Rack” on page 23.
4. Ensure that the system’s front panel keyswitch is in the Standby position.
See “About the Status and Control Panel” on page 7.
5. Once the system is installed in the rack, connect the AC power cord to the power
inlet labelled (1) at the back of the system. Use a strain relief (if necessary), and
connect the other end of the cord to a grounded AC power outlet.
To prevent accidental or inadvertent removal of an AC power cord from its inlet use
the strain relief. The strain relief is a plastic tie-wrap and pedestal that is inserted
into the back panel of the system. Use these reliefs to manage the power cords after
you have installed the cords into the AC inlets in the server.
■ To use a strain relief, wrap the loose end of the tie-wrap around the AC power
cord and thread the tie-wrap through the opening in the relief pedestal.
Pull the end to tighten the tie-wrap.
■ To release the AC power cord, lift up the tab on the relief pedestal and loosen
the tie-wrap.

About Server Rackmounting
The server may be mounted in any rack that meets the Electronic Industries
Association (EIA) standard specification-310 (EIA 310). The system enclosure
measures 7.00 inches high, 17.25 inches wide, and 27.25 inches deep (17.8 cm x 43.8
cm x 69.2 cm) and requires a minimum of four vertical rack units (RUs). The system
has a maximum weight of 65 lb (34 kg).
Shipped with your system is the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Setup and Rackmounting
Guide that describes the procedure for rackmounting the server. Use the guide to
rackmount your server.
Rackmounting guidelines:
■ Install the slide assemblies for the first server in the lowest permissible rack
position.
■ For stability, install the remaining servers from the lowest system upward into the
rack, as shown in the next figure.
■ To mount the server in an EIA standard rack, allow four RUs per system to obtain
the highest density in the rack. Use the supplied Rack Buddy rackmounting
template to locate the correct holes for server placement in the rack.
Note – For the latest configuration information about mixing different systems or
peripherals in standard EIA 310-compliant racks, and for information about Sun’s
rackmounting cabinets consult the Rackmount Placement Matrix located at the URL
http://docs.sun.com. At the site, click on Storage and Peripherals, find
Rackmount Placement Matrix among the AnswerBook2 collection titles, and click on
the link to display the book.
You need to use the Rack Buddy to help decide at what height in the rack rail you
will install the server slide assemblies (and other subsequent server slide
assemblies). For example, an empty Sun cabinet might have 36 vertical RUs and
could support up to nine servers. To maximize server density in a 72-inch (182.8-cm)
rack, install the slide assembly brackets starting for the lowest enclosure at rail hole
3 (in an empty rack), and add subsequent brackets at rail holes 15, 27, 39, 51, 63, 75,
87, and 99.

How to Remove the System From the
Rack
With the exception of removing and replacing the main logic board, qualified service
providers can perform all other service procedures while the system is extended
from the rack and still attached to the rack rails. If qualified service providers want
to remove the system from the rack for any other reason, they should follow the
instructions in this section.
Caution – Unless the rack is bolted to the floor, you must extend the cabinet’s anti-
tip legs and adjust their stabilizing feet to the floor. Level and secure the cabinet to
provide a safe working environment.
Caution – The chassis is heavy. Two people are required to remove the system from
the rack enclosure in the following procedure.
Before You Begin
Complete this task:
■ Identify a helper to assist you in removing the system
Discuss the task and verify that your helper can safely lift and carry 34 lbs (17kg),
which is approximately half the weight of a fully-equipped system.
Review the steps in the next section with your helper beforehand and discuss how to
coordinate your efforts to ensure your mutual safety.
Caution – When completing a two-person procedure, always communicate your
intentions clearly before, during, and after each step to minimize confusion.

Interface” on page 47
■ Attach the Ethernet port to a network; see “How to Attach a Twisted-Pair
Ethernet (TPE) Cable” on page 52 or “How to Attach an MII Ethernet
Transceiver” on page 54
The device that is used to boot the system is determined by the setting of an
OpenBoot firmware configuration parameter called boot-device. The default
order of settings of this parameter is disk net. Because of this setting, the firmware
first attempts to boot from the system hard drive, and if that fails, then from the
main logic board Ethernet interface.
The following procedure assumes that you are familiar with the OpenBoot firmware
and that you know how to enter the OpenBoot environment. For more information
about the OpenBoot firmware, see the OpenBoot 3.x Command Reference Manual in the
Solaris System Administrator AnswerBook collection for your specific Solaris release.

About Network Interface Options
The system’s main logic board provides an auto-sensing, switchable
10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX Ethernet interface conforming to the IEEE 802.3u Ethernet
standard. The interface configures itself automatically for either 10-Mbps or
100-Mbps operation, depending on network characteristics.
Two back panel connectors provide access to the built-in Ethernet interface:
■ The RJ-45 connector for connecting a twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE) cable
■ The Media Independent Interface (MII) connector for connecting an external MII
transceiver
Note – You can use only one of the main logic board Ethernet connectors; you
cannot connect to the TPE and MII connector at the same time.
The Media Independent Interface lets you connect the system to a variety of external
Ethernet transceivers, providing compatibility with different Ethernet wiring types.
When an external transceiver is connected to the MII, the system automatically
activates the MII port and disables the TPE port.
Sun Microsystems offers an MII-to-AUI transceiver as a separate optional order
(order number X467A). A number of third-party MII transceivers are also available
for connecting to TX, T4, FX, and AUI-type Ethernet networks.
For instructions on configuring the main logic board Ethernet interface, see “How to
Configure the Standard Ethernet Interface” on page 47. For information about
operating characteristics and configuration parameters for the hmeFast Ethernet
device driver, see Platform Notes: The Fast Ethernet Device Driver. This document is
available on Solaris on Sun Hardware AnswerBook, which is provided on the Solaris
Supplement CD for the Solaris release you are running.
Additional network interfaces are available through PCI cards, providing connection
to Ethernet, token ring, fiber distributed data interface (FDDI), and other network
types. For more information, see “How to Add an Ethernet Interface” on page 49
and the documentation supplied with the PCI network interface card.

How to Configure the Standard Ethernet
Interface
Before You Begin
You must perform the following tasks:
■ Complete the prerequisite steps in “How to Install the Sun Enterprise 220R
Server” on page 13
■ Determine which of the two Ethernet ports you want to use; see “About Network
Interface Options” on page 46
■ Attach a cable to the Ethernet port; see “How to Attach a Twisted-Pair Ethernet
(TPE) Cable” on page 52 or “How to Attach an MII Ethernet Transceiver” on
page 54
Note – You can configure only one Ethernet interface during installation of the
operating system. To configure additional interfaces, see “How to Add an Ethernet
Interface” on page 49.
What to Do
1. Assign a host name to the machine.
The host name must be unique within the network. It can be made up of characters
and numbers. Do not use a dot in the host name. Do not begin the name with a
number or a special character.
2. Determine the IP address for the interface.
Your network administrator must assign an IP address. Each network device or
interface must have a unique IP address.
3. Resume the installation of the system.
See “How to Install the Sun Enterprise 220R Server” on page 13. When installing the
operating system, you will be prompted to enter the host name and IP address of the
machine.

Note – If you have installed a PCI card as a second Ethernet interface, the operating
system asks you to select a primary network interface and then prompts you for its
host name and IP address. You must configure the second interface separately, after
the operating system is installed. See “How to Add an Ethernet Interface” on
page 49.
Note – This system conforms to the Ethernet 10/ 100BASE-TX standard, which
states that the Ethernet 10BASE-T link integrity test function should always be
enabled on both the host system and the Ethernet hub. If you have problems
verifying connection between this system and your hub, verify that the Ethernet hub
also has the link test function enabled. See “Network Communications Failure” on
page 147 and refer to the manual provided with your hub for more information
about the link integrity test function.
What Next
After completing this procedure, the Ethernet harware interface is ready for
operation. However, in order for other network devices to communicate with the
system, your network administrator must enter the system’s IP address and host
name into the namespace on the network name server. For information about setting
up a network name service, consult the Solaris System Administrator AnswerBook for
your specific Solaris release.
The hmeFast Ethernet device driver for the system’s standard Ethernet interface is

How to Add an Ethernet Interface
Before You Begin
Follow this procedure to install a PCI card for an additional Ethernet interface.
You must perform the following tasks:
■ Install the system; see “How to Install the Sun Enterprise 220R Server” on page 13
Note – The following procedure must be performed by a qualified service provider.
If you are not a qualified service provider, contact Sun Customer Service through
your nearest authorized Sun sales representative.
■ Install any additional PCI Ethernet interface cards that you wish to configure; see
the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual
■ Attach a cable to the new Ethernet port and to the network; see “How to Attach a
Twisted-Pair Ethernet (TPE) Cable” on page 52 or “How to Attach an MII
Ethernet Transceiver” on page 54
What to Do
1. Assign a network host name to the interface.
The host name must be unique within the network. It can be made up of characters
and numbers. Do not use a dot in the host name. Do not begin the name with a
number or a special character.
Usually an interface host name is based on the machine host name. For example, if
the machine is assigned the host name zardoz, then the additional Ethernet
interface could be named zardoz-1. The machine’s host name is assigned when the
operating system software is installed. For more information, see the installation
instructions accompanying the Solaris software.
2. Determine the IP address for the interface.
An IP address must be assigned by your network administrator. Each interface on a
network must have a unique IP address.

3. Boot the operating system and log on to the system as superuser.
Type the following command at the system prompt and the superuser password:
zardoz # su
Password:
4. Create an appropriate /etc/hostnamefile for the new interface.
The name of the file you create should be of the form /etc/hostname.typenum,
where type is the Ethernet type identifier (some common types are hme, le, nf, and
ie) and num is the logical number of the interface according to the order in which it
was installed in the system.
For example, the standard interface provided on the system’s main logic board is
hme0(type = hme, num = 0). If you add a SunSwift™ PCI Ethernet adapter card as a
second hmeinterface, the file name should be hostname.hme1.
Note – The documentation accompanying the Ethernet interface should identify its
type. Alternatively, you can enter the show-devscommand from the okprompt to
obtain a list of all installed devices.
The host name has an associated IP address that you enter in the /etc/hostsfile.
See Step 6.
5. Type the host name, assigned in Step 1, to the /etc/hostnamefile for the new
interface.
Following is an example of the /etc/hostnamefiles required for a machine called
zardoz, which has two Ethernet interfaces—the standard on-board Ethernet
interface (hme0) and a second interface provided by a PCI Ethernet adapter card
(hme1). The host name will be zardozto a network connected to the standard hme0
interface, and zardoz-1to a network connected to the hme1interface.
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.hme0
zardoz
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.hme1
zardoz-1

6. Create an entry in the /etc/hostsfile for each active Ethernet interface.
An entry consists of the IP address and the host name for each interface.
The following example shows the entries in the /etc/hostsfile for the interfaces
identified in the /etc/hostnamefile created in Step 4 and Step 5.
zardoz # cat /etc/hosts
...
127.0.0.1
localhost
129.144.10.57 zardoz
129.144.11.83 zardoz-1
loghost
7. Reboot the system; type:
zardoz # reboot -- -r
This command rebuilds the device trees so that the system will recognize the newly
installed PCI Ethernet adapter card.
What Next
After completing this procedure, the Ethernet interface is ready for operation.
However, in order for other network devices to communicate with the system
through this interface, the interface information (its IP address and host name) must
be entered into the namespace on the network name server. For information about
setting up a network name service, consult the Solaris System Administrator
AnswerBook for your specific Solaris release.

About Reliability, Availability, and
Serviceability Features
Reliability, availability, and serviceability are three aspects of a system’s design
contributing to continuous operation and minimizing system downtime for service.
Reliability refers to a system’s ability to operate continuously without failures and to
maintain data integrity. System availability refers to the percentage of time that a
system remains accessible and usable. Serviceability relates to the time it takes to
restore a system to service following a system failure. Together, reliability,
availability, and serviceability provide for near continuous system operation.
To deliver high levels of reliability, availability, and serviceability, the system offers
the following features:
■ Error correction and parity checking for improved data integrity
■ Easily accessible status indicators
■ Hot-pluggable disk drives
■ Support for RAID 0, 1 storage configurations on internal drives
■ Support for RAID 0, 1, 0 +1, and 5 storage configurations on external disk drives
■ Redundant power supply support
■ Hot-swappable power supplies
■ Four different levels of system diagnostics
Error Correction and Parity Checking
Error-correcting code (ECC) is used on all internal system data paths to ensure high
levels of data integrity. All data that moves between processors, I/ O, and memory
have end-to-end ECC protection.
The system reports and logs correctable ECC errors. A correctable ECC error is any
single-bit error in a 64-bit field. Such errors are corrected as soon as they are
detected. The ECC implementation can also detect double-bit errors in the same
64-bit field and multiple-bit errors in the same nibble (4 bits).
In addition to providing ECC protection for data, the system offers parity protection
on all system address buses. Parity protection is also used on the PCI and SCSI
buses, and in the UltraSPARC CPU’s internal and external cache.

Status LEDs
The system provides easily accessible light-emitting diode (LED) indicators on the
system front panel, internal disk bays, and power supplies to provide a visual
indication of system and component status. These status LEDs eliminate guesswork
and simplify problem diagnosis for enhanced serviceability.
The system status LEDs are described in the section “About the Status and Control
Panel” on page 7. Disk drive and power supply LEDs are described in “Error
Indications” on page 138.
Hot-Pluggable Disk Drives
The hot-plug feature of the system’s internal disk drives permits the removal and
installation of drives while the system is operational. All drives are easily accessed
from the front of the system. Hot-plug technology significantly increases the
system performance
■ Replace disk drives without service disruption
For more information about hot-pluggable disk drives, see “About Internal Disk
Drives” on page 74 and “About Disk Array Configurations and Concepts” on
page 70.
Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0 + 1,
and RAID 5 Disk Configurations
The Solstice DiskSuite software designed for use with the system provides the ability
to configure system disk storage in a variety of different RAID levels. You choose the
appropriate RAID configuration based on the price, performance, reliability, and
availability goals for your system.
sometimes called RAID 10), and RAID 5 configurations (striping with interleaved
parity) can all be implemented using Solstice DiskSuite. You can also configure one
or more drives to serve as a hot spare to fill in automatically for a defective drive in
the event of a disk failure.
For more information about RAID configurations, see “About Disk Array
Configurations and Concepts” on page 70.

Power Supply Redundancy
The system can accommodate one or two power supplies. All system configurations
can operate with only one power supply installed. A second supply can be used to
provide redundancy, allowing the system to continue operating should one of the
power supplies fail.
For more information about power supplies, redundancy, and configuration rules,
see “About Power Supplies” on page 76.
Hot-Swappable Power Supplies
Power supplies in a redundant configuration feature a hot-swap capability. A
qualified service provider can remove and replace a faulty power supply without
turning off the system power, or even shutting down the operating system. The
power supplies are easily accessed from the front of the system. For information
about removing and installing a power supply, see the Sun Enterprise 220R Server
Service Manual.
Four Levels of Diagnostics
For enhanced serviceability and availability, the system provides four different levels
of diagnostic testing: power-on self-test (POST), OpenBoot diagnostics (OBDiag),
SunVTS™, and Sun Enterprise SyMON™.
POST and OBDiag are firmware-resident diagnostics that can run even if the server
is unable to boot the operating system. Application-level diagnostics, such as
SunVTS and Sun Enterprise SyMON, offer additional troubleshooting capabilities
once the operating system is running.
POST diagnostics provide a quick but thorough check of the most basic hardware
functions of the system. For more information about POST, see “About Power-On
Self-Test (POST) Diagnostics” on page 120 and “How to Use POST Diagnostics” on
page 121.
OBDiag diagnostics provide a more comprehensive test of the system, including
external interfaces. OBDiag is described in “About OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag)”
on page 126 and “How to Use OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag)” on page 129.
64
Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

At the application level, you have access to SunVTS diagnostics. Like OBDiag,
SunVTS provides a comprehensive test of the system, including its external
interfaces. SunVTS also allows you to run tests remotely over a network connection.
You can only use SunVTS if the operating system is running. For more information
about SunVTS, see “About SunVTS Software” on page 132, “How to Use SunVTS
Software” on page 135, and “How to Check Whether SunVTS Software Is Installed”
on page 134.
Another application-level program, called Sun Enterprise SyMON, provides you
with a variety of continuous system monitoring capabilities. It allows you to monitor
system hardware status and operating system performance of your server. For more
information about Sun Enterprise SyMON software, see “About Sun Enterprise
SyMON Software” on page 137.

About Memory
The system’s main logic board provides 16 slots for high-capacity dual inline
memory modules (DIMMs). The system supports Sun standard 200-pin, 5-volt,
60-nanosecond memory modules. Modules of 32-, 64-, or 128-Mbyte capacities can
be installed in the system. Total main memory is expandable up to 2 Gbytes.
Memory slots are organized into four banks (banks 0 through 3), with each bank
comprising four slots.
The system reads from, or writes to, all four DIMMs in a bank at the same time.
DIMMs, therefore, must be added four at a time in the same bank. For the DIMM
bank organization and numbering scheme see “DIMM Failure” on page 152.
Memory modules are delicate. Ensure that you take appropriate precautions to
avoid damaging them through electrostatic discharge. The memory modules must
be replaced or installed by a qualified service provider; for information about
removing and installing DIMMs, see the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual.
Configuration Rules
The following memory configuration rules apply to your system:
■ At least one memory bank (all four bank slots) must be filled for the system
to boot
■ Each bank used must have four identical capacity DIMMs installed (for example,
four 64-Mbyte DIMMs or four 128-Mbyte DIMMs)
■ DIMMs must be added four at a time within the same bank
DIMM capacities can differ from one bank to the next—for example, four 64-Mbyte
DIMMs installed in bank 0 and four 128-Mbyte DIMMs installed in bank 2 is
permissible
Caution – DIMMs are made of electronic components that are extremely sensitive
to static electricity. Static from your clothes or work environment can destroy the
modules. Do not remove any DIMM from its antistatic packaging until you are ready
to install it on the system board. Handle the modules only by their edges. Do not
touch the components or any metal parts. Always wear a grounding strap when you
handle the modules.

About CPU Modules
The UltraSPARC II CPU module is a high-performance, highly-integrated
superscalar processor implementing the SPARC-V9 64-bit reduced instruction set
computer (RISC) architecture. The UltraSPARC II processor supports both 2-D and
3-D graphics, as well as image processing, video compression and decompression,
and video effects through the sophisticated visual instruction set (VIS). VIS provides
high levels of multimedia performance, including real-time video compression/
decompression and two streams of MPEG-2 decompression at full broadcast quality
with no additional hardware support.
The system’s main logic board provides slots for two UltraSPARC II CPU modules.
Each processor module includes one CPU chip with integrated cache memory for
data and instructions, as well as 1 Mbyte or more of external static random access
memory (SRAM) cache memory.
Processor modules communicate with the system’s main memory and I/ O
subsystem via the system’s high-speed Ultra Port Architecture (UPA) data bus.
The UPA’s clock rate is automatically synchronized with the clock speed of the CPU
modules. The UPA’s clock rate operates at a ratio of the CPU’s clock speed. For
example, if the CPUs operate at 450 MHz, the UPA data bus could operate at one
fourth the clock speed at 112.5 MHz.
A qualified service provider must remove and replace CPU modules in your system.
For information about installing and removing CPU modules, see the Sun Enterprise
220R Server Service Manual.
Configuration Rules
The following rules apply for your system:
■ You can install one or two UltraSPARC II CPU modules into the server.
■ The first CPU module must be installed in the slot labeled CPU0—the one closest
to the system’s four PCI slots.
■ If you install more than one CPU module, the modules must operate at identical
clock speeds (450 MHz, for example) and they must have the same size cache
memory. This generally means the CPU modules must have the same part
number.
For information about the CPU slot locations on the main logic board, see the Sun
Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual.

About Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) Buses
All system communication with storage peripherals and network interface devices is
mediated by a Ultra Port Architecture-to-Peripheral Component Inter-connect
(UPA-to-PCI) bridge chip, located on the system’s main logic board. This bridge chip
manages communication between the UPA bus and the system’s two PCI buses.
These PCI buses support slots for up to four PCI interface cards. One PCI bus (bus 0)
also handles communication between the system and devices connected to the main
logic board’s SCSI, FastEthernet, serial, parallel, and keyboard/ mouse ports.
PCI cards come in a variety of configurations. Not all cards will fit or operate in all
PCI slots, so it is important to know the specifications of your PCI cards and the
types of cards supported by each PCI slot in the system.
Some PCI cards are as short as 6.875 inches (17.46 cm) in length (called “short”
cards), while the maximum length of PCI cards is 12.28 inches (31.19 cm, called
“long” cards). Each slot in the system can accommodate either a long or a short card.
Older PCI cards communicate over 32-bit PCI buses, while many newer cards
communicate over wider 64-bit buses. Three of the PCI slots will accept either 32-bit
or 64-bit wide cards, while the fourth is 32-bits wide.
Older PCI cards operate at 5 VDC, while newer cards are designed to operate on
3.3 VDC. Cards that require 5 volts will not operate in 3.3-volt slots, and 3.3-volt
cards will not operate in 5-volt slots. “Universal” PCI cards are designed to operate
on either 3.3 volts or 5 volts, so these cards can be inserted into either type of slot.
The system provides three slots for 5-volt cards and one slot for a 3.3-volt card.
All four PCI slots accept universal cards.
Most PCI cards operate at clock speeds of 33 MHz, while some newer cards operate
at 66 MHz. All four PCI slots can accept 33-MHz cards. 66-MHz cards are restricted
to the slot labeled PCI 1.

Configuration Rules
The following rules apply for your system:
■ All slots support PCI universal cards.
■ All slots support PCI long or short cards.
■ Each slot can supply up to 15 watts of power. The total power used for all four
slots must not exceed 60 watts.
You can install PCI cards into any compatible PCI slots. Slots need not be filled in
any particular order. In most cases, the system’s I/ O performance will be unaffected
by placement of PCI cards in the slots. Heavily loaded systems, however, will
deliver better overall performance by installing high-throughput interface cards on
separate buses. Examples of high-throughput interfaces are dual-channel UltraSCSI
host adapters and ATM-622 interfaces.
You can also improve overall system availability by installing redundant storage or
network interfaces on separate PCI buses.

About Disk Array Configurations and
Concepts
The Solstice DiskSuite software is designed for use with the Sun Enterprise 220R
server’s internal and external disk drives. The software supports a variety of
configurations called disk arrays, which improve storage performance, capacity, and
availability.
Note – Solstice DiskSuite and other software must be ordered separately.
This section describes some of the most popular and useful of those configurations,
including:
■ Disk concatenation
■ Disk mirroring (RAID 1)
■ Disk striping (RAID 0)
■ Disk striping with parity (RAID 5)

The DiskSuite software creates metadevices—logical disk devices consisting of one or
more physical disks or partitions from several disks. Once you use Solstice DiskSuite
to create a metadevice, the operating system uses and maintains the metadevice as if
it were a single device.
For instance, you can combine the two disks c1t2d0s2and c1t3d0s2into the
metadevice /dev/md/rdsk/d0.
The Sun Enterprise 220R server’s internal disks support RAID 1, RAID 0, and RAID
1 + RAID 0. More complicated configurations, including RAID 5, are supported
using external disk arrays and one or more PCI host adapter cards.

Disk Concatenation
Disk concatenation is a method for increasing logical volume size beyond the
capacity of one disk drive by creating one large metadevice from two or more
smaller drives. This lets you create arbitrarily large partitions.
Using this method, the concatenated disks are filled with data sequentially, with the
second disk being written to when no space remains on the first, the third when no
room remains on the second, and so on.
Disk Mirroring: RAID 1
Disk mirroring is a technique that uses data redundancy—two complete copies of all
data stored on two separate disks—to protect against loss of data due to disk failure.
One metadevice is created from two disks.
Whenever the operating system needs to write to the mirrored metadevice, both
disks are updated. The disks are maintained at all times with exactly the same
information. When the operating system needs to read from the mirrored
metadevice, it reads from whichever disk is more readily accessible at the moment.
The scheme is sometimes called RAID 1, where RAID stands for redundant arrays of
inexpensive disks.
RAID 1 offers the highest level of data protection, but storage costs are high, since all
data is stored twice.

Disk Striping: RAID 0
Disk striping (sometimes called RAID 0) is a technique for increasing system
throughput by using several disk drives in parallel. Whereas in non-striped disks the
operating system writes a single block to a single disk, in a striped arrangement each
block is divided and portions of the data are written to different disks.
System performance using RAID 0 will be better than using RAID 1 or 5, but the
possibility of data loss is greater because there is no way to retrieve or reconstruct
data stored on a failed drive.
Disk Striping With Parity: RAID 5
RAID 5 is an implementation of disk striping in which parity information is
included with each disk write. The advantage of the technique is that if any one disk
in a RAID 5 array fails, all the information on the failed drive can be reconstructed
from the data and parity on the remaining disks.
System performance using RAID 5 will fall between that of RAID 0 and RAID 1, and
all data loss is fully protected.
Hot Spares
In a hot-spares arrangement, one or more disk drives are installed in the system but
are unused during normal operation. Should one of the active drives fail, disk write
operations are automatically redirected to a hot-spare disk and the failed disk drive
is retired from operation.

Hot Plug
The system’s disk bays are designed to permit disk drive removal and insertion
while the system is powered on. Hot-plug technology significantly increases the
system’s serviceability and availability, by providing the ability to:
■ Add hardware dynamically to enable the system to handle an increasingly larger
work load, perform load balancing, and improve performance of a running
system
■ Remove/ replace faulty hardware with minimal system service disruption

About Internal Disk Drives
The Sun Enterprise 220R server supports up to two internal, hot-pluggable
UltraSCSI disk drives. Drives are 3.5-inches wide and 1-inch high
(8.89-cm x 2.54-cm).
The drives are supported by the 40-Mbyte per second UltraSCSI interface on the
system’s main logic board. Both drives plug in to the two-disk backplane, which
mounts to the back of the system’s disk cage.
On the right side of each installed disk drive is a green indicator LED. These LEDs
indicate the operating status associated with each disk drive. For additional
information about disk drive LEDs, see “Disk LEDs” on page 142.
The following figure shows the system’s two internal disk drives and LEDs. Disk
drives are numbered 0 and 1, with the 0 drive the default system disk.

The Solstice DiskSuite software supplied with the Solaris server media kit lets you
use internal disk drives in three RAID configurations: RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1
(mirroring), and RAID 0+1 (striping plus mirroring). You can also configure drives
as “hot-spares.” For more information on all supported RAID configurations, see
“About Disk Array Configurations and Concepts” on page 70.
The hot-plug feature of the system’s internal disk drives allows the removal and
installation of drives while the system is operational. This capability significantly
reduces system down-time associated with disk drive replacement.

The hot-plug procedure involves software commands for preparing the system prior
to removing a disk drive and for reconfiguring the operating environment after
installing the replacement drive. The exact hot-plug procedure depends on which
version of the Solaris operating environment you are using. For the complete
procedure, refer to Platform Notes: Sun Enterprise 220R Server, available on the Solaris
on Sun Hardware AnswerBook. This AnswerBook documentation is provided on the
Solaris Supplement CD for the Solaris release you are running.
In order to perform a disk hot-plug procedure, you must know the physical or
logical device name for the drive that you want to install or remove. If your system
encounters a disk error, often you can find messages about failing or failed disks in
your system console. This information is also logged in the /var/adm/messages
file(s). These error messages typically refer to a failed disk drive by its physical
device name (such as /devices/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@b,0) or by its logical
device name (such as c0t11d0). In addition, some applications may report a disk
slot number (0 through 1).
You can use the following table to associate internal disk slot numbers with the
logical and physical device names for each disk drive.

Configuration Rules
The following rules apply for your system:
■ You must use Sun standard 3.5-inch wide and 1-inch high (8.89-cm x 2.5-cm) disk
drives that are UltraSCSI-compatible and run at 10,000 revolutions per minute
(rpm).
■ The SCSI IDs for the disks are hardwired on the disk backplanes. There is no need
to set any SCSI ID jumpers on the disk drives themselves. The SCSI target address
■ The disk drives share the internal SCSI bus with the SCSI removable media
devices in the removable media assembly (RMA). The removable media SCSI
cable provides the termination for the internal SCSI bus.

About Power Supplies
A power distribution board delivers DC power for all internal system components.
The system’s power supplies plug in to connectors on this board, and when both
supplies are installed, they share equally in satisfying the power demands of the
system.
Power supplies are modular units, designed for fast, easy installation or removal,
even while the system is fully operational. Supplies are installed in bays at the front
of the system, as shown in the following figure.
Power supply 1
Power supply 2
(option)
DC status (green)
Fault (yellow)
AC present status (green)
The system can accommodate one or two power supplies. Each power supply
provides up to 380 watts of DC power. All system configurations can operate with
only one power supply installed.
You can use a second supply to provide redundancy, allowing the system to
continue operating should one of the power supplies fail. If your server includes a
second power supply, connect the second AC power cord to the left inlet (labeled 2
on the back panel). You may connect the second power supply to the same AC
circuit as the first supply. However, for increased system redundancy you should
connect each power supply to a separate circuit.
76

Removing and replacing a power supply can only be performed by a qualified
service provider. For information about removing and installing power supplies, see
the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual.
Power supplies in a redundant configuration feature a hot-swap capability. This
means that you can remove and replace a faulty power supply without turning off
the system power or even shutting down the operating system.
Caution – When removing a hot-swappable power supply, do not disengage and
reengage the supply in rapid succession. Always remove a supply completely before
reinserting the same supply or a replacement supply. Rapid seating and unseating of
power supplies may result in false error conditions.
Three LED indicators on the front of the power supply display AC and DC status,
and fault conditions. For additional details, see “Power Supply LEDs” on page 141.
Note – Sun Enterprise 220R power supplies will shut down automatically in
response to certain over-temperature and power fault conditions. To recover from an
automatic shutdown, you must disconnect the AC power cord, wait roughly 10
seconds, and then reconnect the power cord.

About the Standard Ethernet Port
The system’s main logic board provides an auto-sensing, switchable 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX Ethernet interface conforming to the IEEE 802.3u Ethernet standard.
The interface configures itself automatically for either 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps
operation, depending on network characteristics.
Two preconfigured back panel connectors provide access to the Ethernet interface:
■ One RJ-45 connector for connecting a Category-5 twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE)
cable
■ One Media Independent Interface (MII) connector for connecting an external
MII transceiver
Note – You can use only one of the main logic board Ethernet connectors;
you cannot connect to the TPE and MII connectors at the same time.
The Media Independent Interface lets you connect the system to a variety of external
100BASE-TX (Fast) Ethernet transceivers, providing compatibility with different
Ethernet wiring types. When an external transceiver is connected to the MII, the
system automatically activates the MII port and disables the TPE port.

About the Serial Ports
The system provides two serial communication ports through a pair of DB-25
connectors located on the back panel. Both ports are capable of synchronous and
asynchronous communication.
In synchronous mode, each port operates at any rate from 50 Kbaud to 256 Kbaud
when the clock is generated internally. When the clock is generated from an external
source, synchronous communication occurs at rates up to 384 Kbaud.
In asynchronous mode, either port supports baud rates of 50, 75, 110, 200, 300, 600,
1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800, 115200, 153600, 230400,
307200, and 460800 baud.
Both serial ports can be configured to provide EIA-423 or EIA-232D signal levels.
Signal levels are controlled by jumpers located on the system’s main logic board. The
default setting is EIA-423. For more information about configuring the serial port
jumpers, see the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual.

About the External SCSI Port
External SCSI devices are supported via a 68-pin SCSI connector located on the
system’s back panel. This bus is UltraSCSI-capable (40 Mbytes per second) and can
support additional external, single-ended, wide or narrow SCSI devices. The
external SCSI bus is separate from the internal SCSI bus for removable media
devices and internal disk drives. See “Reference for the UltraSCSI Connector” on
page 161 for a diagram and pinout of the external SCSI connector.
The external SCSI bus will support up to four external SCSI tape devices if the bus is
used exclusively for tape devices. When other types of SCSI devices are present on
the bus, a maximum of two SCSI tape devices are supported on the external SCSI
bus. Additional external tape devices can be supported by installing appropriate PCI
host adapter cards.
Target Devices
Up to 12 Sun compensated devices can operate on the external SCSI bus at 20
Mbytes per second. For UltraSCSI performance of 40 Mbytes per second, no more
than seven devices may be connected. Target addresses for the external SCSI bus
(also known as SCSI IDs) are available in a range of 0 through 15. Target address 7 is
reserved for the SCSI host adapter located on the main logic board. All devices on
the bus must have unique target addresses.
The addresses for the internal CD-ROM (6) and tape drive (4 or 5) are determined by
jumpers located on the drives. If the CD-ROM and tape drives have been factory-
installed, they are configured with the correct addresses for the system. Internal disk
drives use 0 and 1.
Bus Length
For UltraSCSI performance on the external SCSI bus, you must adhere to the
following bus length restrictions for daisy-chained SCSI devices:
■ For 1 to 3 devices, the maximum bus length is 9.84 feet (3 meters)
■ For 4 to 7 devices, the maximum bus length is 4.92 feet (1.5 meters)
You must include the Sun Enterprise 220R server internal bus length of 2.952 feet
(0.9 meter) in your bus length calculations.
84
Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
If you exceed these bus length restrictions, UltraSCSI devices may operate at less
than 40 Mbytes per second. Under such conditions, an UltraSCSI device may
experience errors that eventually cause it to reset and operate at 20 Mbytes per
second.
For fast/ wide performance on the external SCSI bus, the maximum SCSI bus length
for daisy-chained SCSI devices is 19.7 feet (6 meters), including the Sun Enterprise
220R server internal bus length 2.952 feet (0.9 meter).
External UltraSCSI-compliant SCSI cables have an impedance of 90 ohm (+/ - 6 ohm)
and are required for UltraSCSI interface. Sun’s implementation of UltraSCSI requires
that the total SCSI bus length be limited to no more than approximately 20 feet
(6 meters) with up to 12 Sun compensated devices.
Due to the short bus length, an approximately 31.5-inch (0.8-meter) UltraSCSI-
compliant external cable is supported (part number 530-2883) in addition to a 2.2-
yard (2-meter) UltraSCSI-compliant external cable (part number 530-2884).
External SCSI Cabling and Termination
Use the following cabling guidelines to ensure proper device cabling and
termination on the external SCSI bus:
■ In order to maintain UltraSCSI performance, all cables used must be
UltraSCSI-compliant.
■ The external SCSI bus must be correctly terminated. Most Sun devices use
autotermination. See the documentation supplied with the device.
■ If all external mass storage devices use 68-pin connectors, connect all non-Sun
devices to the system first and connect a Sun autoterminating device to the end of
the chain.
■ If external mass storage devices consist of 68-pin devices and 50-pin devices,
connect the Sun 68-pin devices to the system first and terminate the chain with a
50-pin device and its terminator. The 68-pin device connected to the 68-50 pin
adapter cable must be autoterminating in order to terminate the high-order bits.
Caution – Do not connect 68-pin devices after 50-pin devices; SCSI bus errors
will occur.

Multi-initiator Support
The SCSI implementation of the system includes multi-initiator support: any
external host adapter on the bus can drive Termpower. This means that if the system
should lose power, the devices on the SCSI bus (except those powered by the
system) can continue to operate.
Configuration Rules
For fast/ wide performance, you can connect up to 12 devices to the external SCSI
bus. For UltraSCSI performance, no more than seven devices may be connected.
Each device must have a unique target address (SCSI ID) in the range from 0 to 15.
You cannot assign target address 7 to any device; it is reserved for the host adapter
on the main logic board.
For UltraSCSI performance on the external SCSI bus, all cables used must be
UltraSCSI-compliant, and you must adhere to the following bus length restrictions:
■ For 1 to 3 devices, the maximum bus length is 3 meters (9.84 feet)
■ For 4 to 7 devices, the maximum bus length is 1.5 meters (4.92 feet)

You must include the Sun Enterprise 220R server internal bus length of 2.952 feet
(0.9 meter) in your bus length calculations.
For fast/ wide performance on the external SCSI bus, the maximum Sun-supported
SCSI bus length for daisy-chained SCSI devices is 6 meters (19.7 feet), including the
Sun Enterprise 220R internal bus length.
UltraSCSI devices can be mixed with non-UltraSCSI devices on the same bus. The
UltraSCSI devices will still operate at UltraSCSI speeds (40 Mbytes/ sec), provided
that the rules for UltraSCSI cabling, bus length, termination, and target devices are
followed.
If all external SCSI devices use 68-pin connectors, connect all non-Sun devices to the
system first and connect a Sun autoterminating device to the end the chain.
If external mass storage devices consist of 68-pin devices and 50-pin devices, connect
the Sun 68-pin devices to the system first and terminate the chain with a 50-pin
device and its terminator. The 68-pin device connected to the 68-50 pin adapter cable
must be autoterminating in order to terminate the high-order bits.
If you install an internal tape drive into the system, you should assign it target
address 4 or 5. If you install an internal CD-ROM into the system, you should assign
it target address 6. If these drives have been factory-installed, they are configured
with the correct addresses for the system.
The removable media SCSI cable provides the termination for the internal SCSI bus.

the system internal drives.
Before You Begin
Complete this task:
■ “How to Power Off the System” on page 43
You must have the following items:
■ Antistatic wrist or foot strap
■ Antistatic mat (or the equivalent)
What to Do
Caution – Printed circuit boards and hard disk drives contain electronic
components that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of
static from your clothes or the work environment can destroy components.
Do not touch the components themselves or any metal parts without taking proper
antistatic precautions.
1. Disconnect the AC power cord from the wall power outlet only if you will be
handling the power distribution board.
The AC power cord provides a discharge path for static electricity, so you generally
want to leave it plugged in during installation and repair procedures. The only time
you should unplug the cord is when you service the power distribution board.

About Diagnostic Tools
The system provides both firmware-based and software-based diagnostic tools to
help you identify and isolate hardware problems. These tools are:
■ Power-on self-test (POST) diagnostics
■ OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag)
■ SunVTS software
■ Sun Enterprise SyMON software
POST diagnostics verify the core functionality of the system, including the main
logic board, system memory, and any on-board I/ O devices. You can run POST even
if the system is unable to boot. For more information about POST, see “About
Power-On Self-Test (POST) Diagnostics” on page 120 and “How to Use POST
Diagnostics” on page 121.
OBDiag tests focus on system I/ O and peripheral devices. Like POST, you can run
OBDiag even if the system is unable to boot. For more information about OBDiag,
see “About OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag)” on page 126 and “How to Use
OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag)” on page 129.
The SunVTS system exerciser is a graphics-oriented UNIX application that permits
the continuous exercising of system resources and internal and external peripheral
equipment. For more information about SunVTS software, see “About SunVTS
Software” on page 132.
UNIX-based Sun Enterprise SyMON software allows you to monitor the system
hardware status and operating system performance of your server. For information
about Sun Enterprise SyMON software, see “About Sun Enterprise SyMON
Software” on page 137.
Which method or tool you use to diagnose system problems depends on the nature
of those problems:
■ If your machine isn’t able to boot its operating system software, you need to run
POST and OBDiag tests.
■ If your machine is “healthy” enough to start up and load its operating system
software, you can use Sun Enterprise SyMON software and SunVTS software to
diagnose system problems.

About Power-On Self-Test (POST)
Diagnostics
The POST diagnostic code resides in flash PROM on the main logic board. It runs
whenever the system is turned on or when a system reset is issued. POST tests the
following system components:
■ CPU modules
■ Memory modules
■ NVRAM
■ Main logic board
POST reports its test results via LEDs located on the system keyboard and on the
system front panel. See “Error Indications” on page 138 for more information about
LEDs and error messages.
By default POST displays detailed diagnostic and error messages on a local terminal,
if one is attached to the system’s serial port A. For information about running POST,
see “How to Use POST Diagnostics” on page 121.
120
Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
How to Use POST Diagnostics
When you turn on the system power, POST diagnostics run automatically if any of
the following conditions apply:
■ The OpenBoot PROM (OBP) variable diag-switch?is set to truewhen you
power on the system.
■ You hold down the keyboard’s Stop and D (Shift-d) keys as you power on the
system.
For information about the various keyswitch positions, see “About the Status and
Control Panel” on page 7.
Before You Begin
You can view POST diagnostic and error messages locally on an attached terminal.
To view POST diagnostic and error messages on the local system, you need to
connect an alphanumeric terminal or establish a tipconnection to another Sun
system. For more information, see “About Communicating With the Server” on
page 28, or if you already have a console setup see “Setting Up a tip Connection” on
page 121. You must also verify baud rates between a system and a monitor or a
system and a terminal. See “Verifying the Baud Rate” on page 123.
You can choose to run an abbreviated POST with concise error and status reporting
or run an extensive POST with more detailed messages. For more information, see
“How to Set the Diagnostic Level for POST and OBDiag” on page 131.
If a console or a monitor is not connected to serial port A (default port) of a system
or server to be tested, the keyboard LEDs are used to determine error conditions. See
“Error Indications” on page 138.
Setting Up a tipConnection
A tipconnection enables you to use a remote shell window on a terminal to display
test data from a system. Serial port A (or serial port B of a tested system) is used to
establish the tipconnection between the system being tested and another Sun
system monitor or TTY-type terminal. The tipconnection is used in a terminal
window and provides features to help with the OBP commands and messages.
Chapter 7

b. Modify the serial port B system remotefile as follows:
hardwire:\ dv=/dev/term/a:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:
4. In a shell window on the Sun system, type:
hostname% tip hardwire
connected
Note – The shell window is now a tipwindow directed to the serial port of the
system being tested. When power is applied to the system being tested, POST
messages will be displayed in this window.

a. Open a shell window.
b. Type ps -ato view the active tipline and process ID (PID) number.
c. Type the following to kill the tiphardwire process.
% kill -9 <Process ID (PID) Number>
Verifying the Baud Rate
To verify the baud rate between the Sun Enterprise 220R server and a terminal or
another Sun system monitor:
1. Open a shell window.
2. Type eeprom.
3. Verify the following serial port default settings as follows:
ttyb-mode = 9600,8,n,1
ttya-mode = 9600,8,n,1
Note – Ensure that the settings are consistent with TTY-type terminal or system
monitor settings.
What to Do
Ensure that the front panel keyswitch is in the Standby position.
For descriptions of the keyswitch settings, see “About the Status and Control Panel”
on page 7.
You can initialize POST one of two ways.
■ By setting the diag-switch?to trueand the diag-levelto maxor min,
followed by power cycling the system unit.
■ By simultaneously pressing the keyboard Stop and D keys while power is applied
to the system unit.

2. At the Sun Type-5 keyboard, power cycle the system by simultaneously pressing
the Shift key and the Power-on key. After a few seconds, press the Power-on key
again, or press the On/Off button on the system once.
Note – The keyswitch must be set to the Power-On/ Off position.
The system runs the POST diagnostics. POST displays status and error messages in
the system console. For more information, see the “Results” section below.
Upon successful completion of POST, the system will run OBDiag. For more
information about OBDiag, see “About OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag)” on
page 126 and “How to Use OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag)” on page 129.
Results
While POST is running, you can observe its progress and any error indications in the
following locations:
■ System console or through a tipconnection
■ Front panel fault LEDs
■ Keyboard LEDs (if a keyboard is present)
Observing POST in Progress
As POST runs, it displays detailed diagnostic status messages in the system console.
If POST detects an error, it displays an error message in the system console that
indicates the failing part. A sample error message is provided below:
Power On Self Test Failed. Cause: DIMM U0702 or System Board
ok
POST status and error conditions are indicated by the general fault LED on the
system front panel. The LED blinks slowly to indicate that POST is running. It
remains lit if POST detects a fault.
124
Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
If a Sun Type-5 keyboard is attached to the system, POST status and error
indications are also displayed via the four LEDs on the keyboard. When POST starts,
all four keyboard LEDs blink on and off simultaneously. After that, the Caps Lock
LED blinks slowly to indicate POST is running. If an error is detected, the pattern of
the lit LEDs provides an error indication. See “Error Indications” on page 138 for
more information.
If POST detects an error condition that prevents the system from booting, it will halt
operation and display the okprompt. The last message displayed by POST prior to
the okprompt indicates which part you need to replace.

About OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag)
OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag) software resides in flash PROM on the main logic
board. OBDiag can isolate errors in the following system components:
■ Main logic board
■ Diskette drive (if applicable)
■ CD-ROM drive
■ Tape drive
■ Disk drives
■ Any option card that contains an on-board self-test
On the main logic board, OBDiag tests not only the main logic board but also its
interfaces:
■ PCI
■ SCSI
■ TPE Ethernet including MII Ethernet
■ Serial port
■ Parallel port
■ Keyboard/ mouse
OBDiag reports some test results via the LEDs located on the system front panel.
See “Error Indications” on page 138 for more information about LEDs and error
messages.
OBDiag displays detailed diagnostic and error messages on a local console or
terminal, if one is attached to the system.
OBDiag tests run automatically under certain conditions. You can also run OBDiag
interactively from the system okprompt. For information about running OBDiag,
see “How to Use OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag)” on page 129.
When you run OBDiag interactively from the okprompt, you invoke the OBDiag
menu, which lets you select the tests you want to perform. For information about the
OBDiag menu, see “OBDiag Menu” on page 127.
The system also provides configuration variables that you can set to affect the
operation of the OBDiag tests. For information about the configuration variables, see
“OBDiag Configuration Variable Settings” on page 128.

OBDiag Menu
The OBDiag menu is created dynamically whenever you invoke OBDiag in
interactive mode. Therefore, the menu entries may vary from system to system,
depending on the system configuration. OBDiag also determines whether any

How to Set the Diagnostic Level for
POST and OBDiag
Before You Begin
Three different levels of diagnostic testing are available for power-on self-test
(POST) and OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag): max(maximum level), min(minimum
level), and off(no testing). The system runs the appropriate level of diagnostics
based on the setting of the OpenBoot PROM (OBP) variable called diag-level.
The default setting for diag-levelis min.
If your server is set up without a local console or terminal, you’ll need to set up a
monitor, console, or terminal before setting the diagnostic level. See “About
Communicating With the Server” on page 28.
What to Do
Note – Perform this procedure with the power on and the keyswitch set to the
Power-On/ Off position.
1. With the keyswitch in the Power-On/Off position, press the Break key on your
alphanumeric terminal’s keyboard, or type the Stop-a sequence on a Sun
keyboard.
To enter the Stop-a sequence, press the Stop key and the a key simultaneously.
The okprompt is displayed.
2. To set the diag-levelvariable, type the following:
ok setenv diag-level value
The value can be off, min, or max. See “OBDiag Configuration Variable Settings” on
page 128 for information about each setting.

How to Use SunVTS Software
Before You Begin
If your system passes the firmware-based diagnostics and boots the operating
system, yet does not function correctly, you can use SunVTS, the Sun Validation and
Test Suite, to run additional tests. These tests verify the configuration and
functionality of most hardware controllers and devices.
You’ll need root or superuser access to run SunVTS tests.
What to Do
This procedure assumes you’ll test your Sun Enterprise 220R server remotely by
running a SunVTS session from a workstation using the SunVTS graphical interface.
For information about other SunVTS interfaces and options, see “About Diagnostic
Tools” on page 118.
1. Use the xhostcommand to give the remote server access to the local display. Type:
% /usr/openwin/bin/xhost + remote_hostname
Substitute the name of the Sun Enterprise 220R server for remote_hostname. Among
other things, this command gives the server display permissions to run the SunVTS
graphical interface in the OpenWindows™ environment of the workstation.
2. Remotely log in to the server as superuser or root.
3. Check whether SunVTS software is loaded on the server.
SunVTS software is an optional package that may or may not have been loaded
when the server software was installed. For more information, see “How to Check
Whether SunVTS Software Is Installed” on page 134.

4. To start the SunVTS software, type:
# cd /opt/SUNWvts/bin
# ./sunvts -display local_hostname:0
Substitute the name of the workstation you are using for local_hostname. Note that
/opt/SUNWvts/binis the default /bindirectory for SunVTS software. If you’ve
installed SunVTS software in a different directory, use the appropriate path instead.
When you start SunVTS software, the SunVTS kernel probes the test system devices.
The results of this probe are displayed on the Test Selection panel. For each
hardware device on your system, there is an associated SunVTS test.
5. Fine-tune your testing session by selecting only the tests you want to run.

About Troubleshooting Your System
The system provides the following features to help you identify and isolate
hardware problems:
■ Error indications
■ Software commands
■ Diagnostic tools
This section describes the error indications and software commands provided
to help you troubleshoot your system. Diagnostic tools are covered in “About
Diagnostic Tools” on page 118.
Error Indications
The system provides error indications via LEDs and error messages. Using the two
in combination gives one a high degree of confidence that you can isolate a problem
with a particular field-replaceable unit (FRU).
The system provides fault LEDs in the following places:
■ Front panel
■ Keyboard
■ Power supplies
Error messages are logged in the /var/adm/messagesfile and are also displayed
on the system console by the diagnostic tools.
Front Panel LEDs
System front panel LEDs provide your first indication if there is a problem with your
system. Usually, a front panel LED is not the sole indicator of a problem. Error
messages and even other LEDs can help to isolate the problem further.
The front panel has a general fault indicator that lights to indicate a problem with
the power supply subsystem. See “About the Status and Control Panel” on page 7
for more information about the two LEDs and their meanings.

Keyboard LEDs
Four LEDs on the Sun Type-5 keyboard are used to indicate the progress and results
of POST diagnostics. These LEDs are on the Caps Lock, Compose, Scroll Lock, and
Num Lock keys, as shown below.
Scroll Lock

Shift key
To indicate the beginning of POST diagnostics, the four LEDs briefly light all at once.
The monitor screen remains blank, and the Caps Lock LED blinks for the duration of
the testing.
If the system passes all POST diagnostic tests, all four LEDs light again and then go
off. Once the system banner appears on the monitor screen, the keyboard LEDs
assume their normal functions and should no longer be interpreted as diagnostic
error indicators.
If the system fails any test, one or more LEDs will light to form an error code that
indicates the nature of the problem.
Note – The LED error code may be lit continuously, or for just a few seconds, so it
is important to observe the LEDs closely while POST is running.

The prtdiagcommand is a UNIX shell command used to display system
configuration and diagnostic information. You can use the prtdiagcommand
to display:
■ System configuration, including information about clock frequencies, CPUs,
memory, and I/ O card types
■ Diagnostic information
■ Failed field-replaceable units (FRUs)
To run prtdiag, type:
% /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag
To isolate an intermittent failure, it may be helpful to maintain a prtdiaghistory
log. Use prtdiagwith the -l(log) option to send output to a log file in /var/adm.
Note – Refer to the prtdiagman page for additional information.

Note – When it is not practical to halt the system, you can use SunVTS as an
alternative method of testing the SCSI interfaces. See “About Diagnostic Tools” on
page 118 for more information.
The probe-scsicommand transmits an inquiry command to all SCSI devices
connected to the main logic board SCSI interfaces. This includes any tape or
CD-ROM drive in the removable media assembly (RMA), any internal disk drive,
and any device connected to the external SCSI connector on the system back panel.
For any SCSI device that is connected and active, its target address, unit number,
device type, and manufacturer name are displayed.
The probe-scsi-allcommand transmits an inquiry command to all SCSI devices
connected to the system SCSI host adapters, including any host adapters installed in
PCI slots. The first identifier listed in the display is the SCSI host adapter address in

About Diagnosing Specific Problems
Network Communications Failure
Symptom
The system is unable to communicate over the network.
Action
Your system conforms to the Ethernet 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX standard, which
states that the Ethernet 10BASE-T link integrity test function should always be
enabled on both the host system and the Ethernet hub. The system cannot
communicate with a network if this function is not set identically for both the
system and the network hub (either enabled for both or disabled for both). This
problem applies only to 10BASE-T network hubs, where the Ethernet link integrity
test is optional. This is not a problem for 100BASE-TX networks, where the test is
enabled by default. Refer to the documentation provided with your Ethernet hub for
more information about the link integrity test function.
If you connect the system to a network and the network does not respond, use the
OpenBoot PROM command watch-net-allto display conditions for all network
connections:
ok watch-net-all
For most PCI Ethernet cards, the link integrity test function can be enabled or
disabled with a hardware jumper on the PCI card, which you must set manually.
(See the documentation supplied with the card.) For the standard TPE and MII main
logic board ports, the link test is enabled or disabled through software, as
shown below.
Remember also that the TPE and MII ports share the same circuitry and as a result,
only one port can be used at a time.
Chapter 7
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
147
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Note – Some hub designs permanently enable (or disable) the link integrity test
through a hardware jumper. In this case, refer to the hub installation or user manual
for details of how the test is implemented.
Determining the Device Name of the Ethernet Interface
To enable or disable the link integrity test for the standard Ethernet interface, or for
a PCI-based Ethernet interface, you must first know the device name of the desired
Ethernet interface. To list the device name use either solution described below.
Solution 1
Use this method while the operating system is running:
1. Become superuser.
2. Type:
# eeprom nvramrc=”probe-all install-console banner apply
disable-link-pulse device-name”
(Repeat for any additional device names.)
# eeprom “use-nvramrc?”=true
3. Reboot the system to make the changes effective.
Solution 2
Use this alternate method when the system is already at the OpenBoot prompt:
1. Shut down the operating system and take the system to the okprompt.
2. Determine the device name for the desired Ethernet interface.
3. At the okprompt, type:
ok nvedit
0: probe-all install-console banner
1: apply disable-link-pulse device-name
(Repeat this step for other device names as needed.)
(Press CONTROL-C to exit nvedit.)
ok nvstore
ok setenv use-nvramrc? true
4. Reboot the system to make the changes effective.

Power-On Failure
Symptom
The system attempts to power on but does not boot or initialize the terminal or
monitor.
Action
1. Run POST diagnostics.
See “How to Use POST Diagnostics” on page 121.
2. Observe POST results.
The front panel general fault LED should blink slowly to indicate that POST is
running. Check the POST output using a locally attached terminal, or a tip
connection.
3. If you see no front panel LED activity, a power supply may be defective.
See “Power Supply LEDs” on page 141.
4. If the POST output contains an error message, then POST has failed.
The most probable cause for this type of failure is the main logic board. However,
before replacing the main logic board you should:
a. Remove optional PCI cards.
b. Remove optional DIMMs.
Leave only the four DIMMs in Bank A.
c. Repeat POST to determine if any of these modules caused the failure.
d. If POST still fails, then replace the main logic board.
Video Output Failure
Symptom
No video at the system monitor.
Chapter 7
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
149
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Action
1. Check that the power cord is connected to the monitor and to the wall outlet.
2. Verify with a volt-ohmmeter that the wall outlet is supplying AC power.
3. Verify that the video cable connection is secure between the monitor and the
video output port.
Use a volt-ohmmeter to perform the continuity test on the video cable.
4. If the cables and their connections are okay, then troubleshoot the monitor and
the graphics card.
Disk or CD-ROM Drive Failure
Symptom
A disk drive read, write, or parity error is reported by the operating system or a
software application.
A CD-ROM drive read error or parity error is reported by the operating system or a
software application.
Action
● Replace the drive indicated by the failure message.
Symptom
Disk drive or CD-ROM drive fails to boot or is not responding to commands.
Action
Test the drive response to the probe-scsi-allcommand as follows:
1. At the system okprompt, type:
ok reset-all
ok probe-scsi-all
150
Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
2. If the SCSI device responds correctly to probe-scsi-all, a message similar to
the “probe-scsi-all output:” on page 146 is printed out.
If the device responds and a message is displayed, the system SCSI controller has
successfully probed the device. This indicates that the main logic board is operating
correctly.
a. If one drive does not respond to the SCSI controller probe but the others do,
replace the unresponsive drive.
b. If only one internal disk drive is configured with the system and the
probe-scsi-alltest fails to show the device in the message, replace the
drive.
c. If the problem is still evident after replacing the drive, replace the main logic
board.
d. If replacing both the disk drive and the main logic board does not correct the
problem, replace the associated UltraSCSI data cable and UltraSCSI backplane.
SCSI Controller Failure
To check whether the main logic board SCSI controllers are defective, test the drive
response to the probe-scsicommand. To test additional SCSI host adapters added
to the system, use the probe-scsi-allcommand. You can use the OBP printenv
command to display the OpenBoot PROM configuration variables stored in the
system NVRAM. The display includes the current values for these variables as well
as the default values. See “OBP printenv Command” on page 145 for more
information.
1. At the okprompt, type:
ok probe-scsi
If a message is displayed for each installed disk, the system SCSI controllers have
successfully probed the devices. This indicates that the main logic board is working
correctly.
2. If a disk doesn’t respond, replace the unresponsive drive.
3. If the problem remains after replacing the drive, contact your qualified service
provider to replace the associated SCSI cable and backplane.

Power Supply Failure
If there is a problem with a power supply, the system fault indicator lights on the
front panel. If you have more than one power supply, then you can use the LEDs
located on the power supplies themselves to identify the faulty supply. The power
supply LEDs will indicate any problem with the AC input or DC output. See “Power
Supply LEDs” on page 141 for more information about the LEDs. To replace a power
supply, contact a qualified service provider.
DIMM Failure
SunVTS and POST diagnostics can report memory errors encountered during
program execution. Memory error messages typically indicate the DIMM location
number (“U” number) of the failing module. To replace a DIMM, contact a qualified
service provider.
Use the following diagram to identify the location of a failing memory module from
its U number:
