Before you begin...

Be sure to check that with your order, you received the following items:

Cable kit order number X4621A, which contains

• Dongle Cable, part number 530-3934

• DB-9 to RJ-45 Adapter, part number 530-3813

• AC power cables

If the above items did not ship with your order, please contact your point of sale to obtain such.
Physically inspect cables for any bent pins or damaged cables.  If hardware problems are encountered with the cables, replace as needed

The Sun Blade[tm] 6000 & 6048 Modular Systems provide external I/O port on each of the following:

• Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM)

• Network Express Modules (NEMs)

• PCI Express Modules (PCI Ems)

• I/O on the individual server modules via the dongle cable.

Please refer to the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System Getting Started Guide in the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System Documentation collection for details on how the ports are labeled on each.

Cabling up the CMM...

Plug an Ethernet network management cable into the RJ-45 MGT 0 port on the CMM. Connecting the other side to your local area network. Please note, port 1 on the CMM is not active at this time

Plug a serial console cable into the RJ-45 SER MGT port on the rear panel of the CMM. Make sure you do not plug the serial cable into the NET MGT port
Refer to the CMM diagram in the Sun System Handbook

Cabling up the NEMs...

For each NEM installed, plug a data network cable into the appropriate RJ-45 slot, the other end connecting to your local area network

The Sun Blade 6000 chassis provides up to two NEM slots per server module labeled NEM 0-1 with 0 being the bottom NEM slot and 1 being the top NEM slot.Each Ethernet NEM provides 10 individual Gigabit Ethernet NICs -- one for each server module labeled NET 0 to NET 9 right-to-left as viewed from the back of the chassis.

Refer to the Sun Blade 6000 Modular Installation Guide in the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System Documentation collection

Cabling up the PCI Ems...
For each PCI EM, plug a data network cable into the appropriate data slot.

In a fully populated chassis, there are 20 PCI EMs with two data network ports available on each PCI EM (providing a total of 40 data ports). The Sun Blade 6000 chassis provides 20 PCI EM slots, with two PCI EM slots assigned to each server module. The PCI EM slots are numbered PCI EM 0.0 to 9.1 right-to-left as viewed from the rear of the chassis.

Refer to the Sun Blade 6000 Modular Installation Guide in the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System Documentation collection

Attaching dongle cables to individual blade servers

As well as being able connect to each blade server via the CMM, there is an option to connect directly into each individual blade's service processor (SP) via a dongle cable. This gives another blade connectivity option, should you not be able to access via the CMM

Details on how to attach and connect via the dongle cables are in the blade installation manuals:

Attaching the power cables...

Locate the four power cables shipped with the system.
Locate the AC inlets on the power interface on the rear of the chassis.
Open the metal retention clips for each power inlet.
In the rear of the chassis, plug four power cables into slot positions: PS0-AC1, PS0-AC0, PS1-AC1, and PS1-AC0.
Secure the cable to the connector with the metal retention clip.Plug the other end of the power cables into the power distribution unit (PDU).

NOTE: Main power is automatically distributed to the system chassis.
