    Note

    The Sun Ray Operating Software must be installed on a Sun Ray server running Sun Ray Software 5.3 or later. Conflicts will occur if you try to install the Sun Ray Operating Software on a Sun Ray Software release prior to 5.3, because Sun Ray Client firmware is already installed and provided with those releases.
