How to Download Server Software

  1. Go to the software download site for your server.

    http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4640/downloads.jsp

  2. Choose one of the following download options:
    • If you are installing Windows from distribution media (CD/DVD or ISO image) download Windows.zip to an accessible location. Extract the following sub-packages contained in Windows.zip:
      • InstallPack_x_x_x.exe (program to install all server-specific device drivers and supplemental software after the initial installation of Windows.)

    • If you are installing Windows from a WDS deployment server (advanced installation), download Windows.zip. Extract the following sub-packages contained in Windows.zip to the appropriate Windows image (WIM) folder on the WDS server as described in Incorporating Sun Fire Drivers Into a WIM Image.
      • DriverPack_x_x_x.zip (for experts only, server-specific driver archive for Windows Server, English).

      • OptPack_x_x_x.zip (for experts only, supplemental software archive).

  3. Make sure that the driver packages are available, as needed, during the installation and post–installation process.
