To Download Drivers

   http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp

   Select View by Category, x64 Servers & Workstations, and then select Ultra 27 from the product list.

2. Choose one of the following download options:

   • If you only need network drivers and the mass storage drivers required for Windows installation, download windows.zip to your hard disk.

   • To ensure that you have all of the drivers and supported software for your server, download the Tools and Drivers ISO image. The ISO image can be used in a system with a CD/DVD burner to create a DVD that will be accessible during the installation.
