Installing SunFastEthernet
Software Using Solaris 2.x
4
This chapter describes SunFastEthernet installation requirements for Solaris 2.x
software versions only.
The SunFastEthernet Adapter card is supported on most SBus based Sun-4c,
Sun-4m, and Sun-4d system architectures that run under the Solaris®
environment — or other compatible operating systems. To utilize the
SunFastEthernet Adapter card, the system also needs to contain OpenBoot™
PROM (OBP) level 2.3 or later. An on-board FCode PROM provides
configuration support that identifies the SunFastEthernet Adapter card to the
system and contains selftest routines.
Note – The SunFastEthernet interface will not function in a network that uses
Ethernet trailers.
4.1 Hardware Requirements
Table 4-1 lists systems supported under the Solaris 2.x software versions for
Sun-4c, -4d, and -4m architectures:
Note – The SunFastEthernet is not supported on the SBus Expansion
Subsystem under Solaris 2.x.
