PROM Updates for CPU and I/O Boards

Users of Solaris 7 11/99 software who wish to use dynamic reconfiguration must be running CPU PROM version 3.2.22 (firmware patch ID 103346-xx) or later. This firmware is available from the web site. See "How To Obtain Firmware".

Older versions of the CPU PROM may display the following message during boot:

Firmware does not support Dynamic Reconfiguration

CPU PROM 3.2.16 and earlier versions do not display this message, although they do not support dynamic reconfiguration of CPU/memory boards.
