Only devices that require special configuration for running Solaris Intel Platform Edition have Device Reference Pages.
Refer to the device manufacturer's documentation for procedures to change device settings.
Run the manufacturer's DOS utility if available.
When moving adapters for inspection and configuration, note how cables are inserted in sockets. Some connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion; others are not.
If a device has selectable configuration parameters, you usually choose the default settings. The Device Reference Pages show settings the Solaris software supports and indicate known conflicts.
The following table shows the Device Reference Pages provided with Solaris 8 Intel Platform Edition.
