10.3 Adding the SPARC M12-2S to a Building Block Configuration
Note - When adding the SPARC M12-2S due to a change in the building block configuration, be sure to perform the procedure described below.
Note - To add a SPARC M12-2S with 64 GB DIMMs mounted, see "Notes on Memory" in the latest version of the Fujitsu SPARC M12 Product Notes.
This section describes the procedure for adding the SPARC M12-2S to BB#2 of the building block configuration.
The added SPARC M12-2S is incorporated into the building block configuration in the factory-default state. When you add a newly purchased SPARC M12-2S, do not connect power cords until instructed so. If the SPARC M12-2S to be added has been used in another system, be sure to reset it to its factory-default state by using the restoredefaults or initbb command and do not connect power cords until instructed so.
To perform system-stopped/cold addition of the SPARC M12-2S to a building block configuration, see "5.6.6 System-Stopped/Cold Addition Workflow of the SPARC M12-2S."
For details on the commands used here, see the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 XSCF Reference Manual of the XCP version used.

  1. Check the operation status of the building block configuration.
    Log in to the master XSCF, and check the operation status of the building block configuration by using the showboards command.
    The following example shows that BB#00 and BB#01 are connected to the building block configuration.

  1. Set a BB-ID for the SPARC M12-2S.
    Based on the check result in step 1, set the BB-ID of the SPARC M12-2S to be added to "02". For details on how to set a BB-ID, see "2.3 Understanding the OPNL Functions."
  2. Prepare for the addition of the SPARC M12-2S.
    Log in to the master XSCF, and add the SPARC M12-2S to the building block configuration by using the addfru command.

Do you want to continue?[a:add|c:cancel] :a‍ ← (*4)

Please execute the following steps:
1) After the added device is connected with the system,
please turn on the breaker of the BB#2.
2) Please select[f:finish] :‍ ← (*5)
*1 Select the BB-ID to be added. Here, select BB#2.
*2 To add the SPARC M12-2S, select "BB itself".
*3 Check that the SPARC M12-2S is not connected to BB#2.
*4 Enter "a" to start the operation of adding the SPARC M12-2S to BB#2.
*5 Do not enter anything until step 4 is complete.
  1. Connect the cables to the SPARC M12-2S to be added.
    Connect the XSCF BB control cable and crossbar cable to the SPARC M12-2S to be added. If the added SPARC M12-2S will operate as the standby XSCF, also connect the XSCF DUAL control cable.
    After connecting the XSCF BB control cable, XSCF DUAL control cable, and crossbar cable, connect the power cord and start the XSCF. When you have done this, check that the READY LED on the XSCFU is blinking. For details, see the part about the XSCF unit in "2.4.3 LEDs of Each Unit."
Note - For information on the connection of the various cables, see "Appendix A Lists of Cable Connections in a Building Block Configuration."
  1. Incorporate the SPARC M12-2S into the building block configuration.
    When you have the cables and power cord connected to the SPARC M12-2S to be added and the READY LED blinking on the XSCFU, continue the operation of step 3.
    Note that incorporating the SPARC M12-2S into the building block configuration makes the READY LED on the XSCFU stay lit.
Please execute the following steps:
1) After the added device is connected with the system,
please turn on the breaker of the BB#2.
2) Please select[f:finish] :f‍ ← (*6)
