Install the Supplemental Software

Caution - If you have already installed the Supplemental Software, running the installation again will 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.

Do one of the following:
- If you did not select the Supplemental Software when you ran the procedure Installing Critical Device Drivers and Supplemental Software, refer back to that procedure and run it again, but this time accept the default settings in Step 2 (the default is to install the Supplemental Software), and select No in Step 7. Then proceed to Step 2 of this procedure.
- If you did select Supplemental Software at the Server Installation Package dialog box in Step 2 of Installing Critical Device Drivers and Supplemental Software, and selected No in Step 7, the Install Pack Supplemental Software dialog appears. Proceed to Step 2 of this procedure.
In the Install Pack Supplemental Software dialog, click Next to accept the typical settings; or select Custom to choose the options to install (see descriptions of the Supplemental Software in Install Pack Optional Supplemental Software ).
The Component Installation wizard will guide you through the installation of each of the selected Supplemental Software components.
After the Supplemental Software has been installed, click Finish.
Click Yes at the System Setting Change dialog to restart your system.
If you ran the Sun Server Installation Package software from the Tools and Drivers firmware DVD, remove the DVD from your system.
