The Solaris 10 Operating System version installed on your workstation requires no licensing fee. If you install a different version of Solaris software, you might be required to pay a licensing fee for the new software version. The Sun Ultra 40 M2 Workstation requires the Solaris 10 HW 6/06 operating system or a compatible version. More information is available at: http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/licensing/index.html

Use a copy of TABLE 2-1 to record the information that you might need before setting up the Solaris 10 Operating System.
To help you complete the information in the table, your system administrator (SA) can provide you with information that is specific to your site before you begin. Check with your SA about whether some of the information is available on your network.
3. When you have finished with the configuration, the workstation reboots.
The workstation displays the login window, in which you can enter your user name and password to log in and begin using the workstation.
