Install your add-in PC Card adapter prior to Solaris installation.
Some notebook computers have their built-in PC Card adapter disabled by default. Enable it prior to Solaris installation.
Requirements for a system depend on the combination of devices to be used. A typical two-socket notebook computer needs at least 8 Kbytes of address space, 16 bytes of I/O space, and three free IRQs. Following are general guidelines:
Address space |
At least 8 Kbytes are required with 4 Kbytes per socket in the 640K-1MB range (not necessarily contiguous); if there are three sockets, at least 12 Kbytes are needed |
I/O space |
At least 8 and preferably 16 bytes per socket |
IRQs |
One per socket, plus an IRQ for the pcic device driver itself |
