How to Install the Supplemental Software

Before You Begin

If you have already installed the supplemental software, running the installation again does not necessarily reinstall the supplemental software. It might result in the components being removed. Carefully review the screens during supplemental software installation to ensure that the results are what you want.

1. Choose to install or not to install supplemental software.

   Choose one of the following:

   • Do Not Install Supplemental Software – If you selected not to install the supplemental software when you ran the procedure How To Install Server-Specific Device Drivers, refer to that procedure and run it again and this time accept the default settings in Step 2 (the default is to install the supplemental software), and select No in Step 7.

     You should always accept default installable items to ensure that the most recent versions of the drivers are installed.

   • Install Supplemental Software – If you selected to install supplemental software at the Server Installation Package dialog box in Step 2 of How To Install Server-Specific Device Drivers, and selected No (to not reboot your computer) in Step 7, the Install Pack Supplemental Software dialog box appears:

2. Choose Typical or Custom.

   In the Install Pack Supplement Software dialog box, click Next to accept the Typical settings; or select Custom to choose the options to install. See descriptions of the supplemental software in Table 4.

   The Component Installation wizard guides you through the installation of each of the selected supplemental software components:

   
   
3. After the supplemental software has been installed, click Finish.
4. Click Yes at the System Setting Change dialog box to restart your system.

   If you ran the Sun Server Installation Package software from the Tools and Drivers DVD, remove the DVD from your system.
