Installing Drivers

After installing the OS, run the installation script provided on the Tools and Drivers DVD to install the drivers that correspond to your OS.

The Tools and Drivers DVD is included with your workstation.

The Tools and Drivers DVD also contains the tools to re-create and mount the diagnostic partition. You should not have to do this unless you accidentally erased it. See the Sun Ultra 27 Workstation Service Manual for details.

Perform this procedure to install drivers if you are performing a new installation of the Solaris OS.

To Install Drivers

1. Log in to the system as superuser.

2. Insert the Tools and Drivers DVD into the DVD drive.

   The DVD is automounted by the Solaris OS.

3. Change to the /cdrom/cdrom0/drivers/sx86 directory by typing the following command:

   # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/drivers/sx86

4. Run the installation script by typing the following command:

   # ./install.sh

   The system drivers are installed.

   The script prompts you to reboot the system for changes to take effect.

5. Press the Y key to reboot, or the N key to allow a manual reboot.

6. Remove the DVD from the DVD drive.

7. When prompted for networking information on your system, enter the networking information for your server.
