Before You Begin
There are several supplemental software components available for your Sun Fire server. You have two options for installation: Typical, where basic choices are made for you (as indicated in the table below), and Custom, which is a superset of Typical and includes all software components of Typical plus additional software components.
Note - 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 dialog boxes during supplemental software installation to ensure that the results are as expected.

Note - As of the publication of this document, the server's PCI-X on-board network ports can not be used to initiate an Intel NIC team with Windows Server 2008 R2. Your Windows installation will use the generic Microsoft Intel NIC driver which does not include the teaming feature. However, if you want to include the on-board network ports as part of an Intel NIC team, you can install an optional Intel PCI-E network card (82571–based or newer) supported for Windows Server 2008 R2, install its driver (which provides Intel's Advanced Networking Services), and include the on-board network ports as part of a multi-vendor team initiated through the PCI-E network card.
The Installation Package Supplemental Software selection dialog box is now displayed
Component installation wizards guide you through the installation of each of the selected supplemental software components.
