Chapter 2, Hardware Installation, contains detailed descriptions with illustrations for installing the Sun Network CoProcessor hardware.
Chapter 3, Installation Integration, describes the completion phase of the installation process.
Appendixes contain supplemental information which may be useful during the installation process of the Sun Network CoProcessor. The product can be installed in many cases without using the appendixes, but in some cases they may be needed to handle the special requirements of a particular server configuration.
Read this Preface. This section gives an introduction to the manual.
Chapters 1 through 3 should be read if you are installing the Sun Network CoProcessor. They contain step-by-step procedures to follow. The appendixes contain supplemental information.
