Sun T1000 server sitting pretty in the server rack at last!

This brand-new Sun Fire T1000 server, which we never got a chance to even power up all these months since it arrived has finally been placed where it should belong to! Came with Solaris 10 pre-installed. Our engineers set up DHCP, connected a network cable, and powered it on. We figured its IP fine, but it took us a while to find out the ALOM sc admin password (It is the last 8 characters of its serial number!) for the user "admin". Once we got in, we played around a bit before we shut it down and place it in the rack.

Well, we couldn't place the other server we have (Sun Fire x2100 M2), which we have been using all these days, since the rackmount kit seems to be optional. Need to check with them and order one soon. Overall, a productive day well spent.
