Enterprise 450 server. For important safety and electromagnetic compatibility
information, read the Ultra Enterprise 450 Server Owners Guide and the Sun Enterprise
450 Server Product Notes that come with this upgrade.
Overview
The following sections of this document cover the main steps involved in the
upgrade procedure:
Upgrade contents
Cautions
Unpacking the shipping cartons
Backing up data disk drives
Halting your system

2Sun Enterprise 450 Server Upgrade Guide August 2000
Upgrade Contents
Your upgrade includes the Sun Enterprise 450 server chassis. The upgrade may also
include one or more of the following hardware components:
Memory modules (32-megabyte or larger capacity SIMMs)
CPU module with DC-to-DC converter
New disk drive bracket(s)
If any item in the list above is not included in either the upgrade or your new
system, you are expected to transfer the item(s) from your old system to your
new system.
For instructions about configuring your new system, or for instructions about
installing new parts or the parts you are transferring from your old system into your
new system, consult the Ultra Enterprise 450 Server Owners Guide, the Ultra Enterprise
450 Server Hardware Setup Instructions, or view the ShowMe HowTM CD-ROM
multimedia documentation supplied with your new system.
When you upgrade to a Sun Enterprise 450 server, you must return your old system
unit to Sun Microsystems. See “Return Material Procedure” on page 9 for additional
details.
Note – Since you are upgrading to a new CPU architecture, your system’s Ethernet
address and host identification (hostid) will change, and applications that are
licensed to your system may change as well. Be sure to inform your system
administrator of this fact before you begin the upgrade. He or she will need to
update certain network configuration files before your system can rejoin the
network.

Cautions
Caution – This equipment contains lethal voltage. Accidental contact can result in
serious injury or death.
Caution – Improper handling by unqualified personnel can cause serious damage
to this equipment. Unqualified personnel who tamper with this equipment may be
held liable for any resultant damage to the equipment.
Caution – Use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding techniques when
handling components. Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an ESD-protected mat.
Store ESD-sensitive components in antistatic bags before placing them on any

Unpacking the Shipping Cartons
Illustrations depicting how to unpack your new Sun Enterprise 450 server are
printed on the shipping cartons—these pictures are self-explanatory. However, there
are a few additional steps you should take.
1. Inspect the shipping cartons before opening them.
If there is evidence of damage to a carton, contact your sales representative and
arrange for an agent of the carrier to be present when you remove the equipment.
4Sun Enterprise 450 Server Upgrade Guide August 2000
2. Remove and save the Customer Information Sheet.
This sheet is in the plastic envelope on the side of the system unit carton. Retain this
sheet for your records. If you are connecting your system to a network, your system
administrator will need this sheet during the installation procedure.
3. Save the cartons and the packing material.
You will need them if you ever want to ship your system anywhere. In addition, you
may need them to return your old system unit if its original shipping materials are
missing.
Backing Up Data Disk Drives
Sun Enterprise 450 servers support 1-inch high and 3.5-inch wide UltraSCSI
disk drives. If you are transferring data disk drives to the new system, back up the
data on the drives before halting the system.
Note – You cannot transfer a boot disk from your old system and use it as a boot disk
in your Sun Enterprise 450 server. You must reformat the drive and install the new
version of the operating system software.
1. Back up each data disk drive onto media that will be accessible to your
new server.
Use a level 0 dump backup.
2. Record each disk’s device name.
Use the df command to read the disk device name before removing any
disk drive from your old system.
Halting Your System
Caution – You must halt the system in an orderly manner. When the operating
system or any other standalone program is up and running, do not press Stop(L1)-a
to halt the system. Abruptly aborting program execution may cause damage to data
files.
Halt your system using the following procedure:

Removing SBus Cards and Extra
Memory
If your system unit contains SBus cards, memory, or other modules, you
should remove them before returning the system unit to Sun Microsystems.
You may transfer memory modules that were factory-installed inside your old
system unit, as well as any memory module that you purchased as a separate option.
Consult the installation guide that came with your system for detailed instructions
about removing SBus cards and extra memory.
Installing Your Upgrade System
Your upgrade includes the Sun Enterprise 450 server chassis. The upgrade may also
include one or more of the following hardware components:
Memory modules (32-megabyte or larger capacity SIMMs)

Installing New Disk Drive Brackets
The Sun Enterprise 450 server supports 1-inch high and 3.5-inch wide UltraSCSI disk
drives with a new bracket for securing each drive in the disk drive array. If your
1-inch high disk drives have the old brackets on them, you must install the new
brackets that came with your upgrade before you can transfer the drives into the
new system.
Examine the following drawing to see if your drives have the old bracket. To install
new brackets on your disk drives follow this procedure.
Sun Enterprise 450 Server Upgrade Guide 7
