Sun Blade™ 1000

OpenBoot PROM

Revision 3.x

Operating environment

Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and 9 releases

 

 

Enterprise 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 series systems using the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter require a shielded twisted pair Ethernet cable.

Caution –Installing the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter on the Enterprise 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 series systems is prohibited if option (X)1080A Sun Enterprise Systems Interface card is already installed on the 2632A PCI I/O board for these platforms. Install the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter on the next available 2632A PCI I/O card.

Patch Requirements

The software driver package provided on the CD ROM has the following patches preinstalled.

■Solaris™ 2.6 and 7 operating environments Patch-ID Number 112327-02

■Solaris 8 operating environments Patch-ID Number 111883-07

The Solaris 8 2/02 release includes Patch-ID Number 111883-05. Subsequent versions of the Solaris operating environment may include the correct version.
