System Software and Firmware
Requirements
System Software
Sun Fire 280R systems using the UltraSPARC III Cu CPU module (CPU) at
1.2 GHz require one of the following versions of the operating environment:
■ Solaris™ 8 12/02 operating environment or a compatible Solaris release that
supports the server
■ Solaris™ 9 12/02 operating environment or a compatible Solaris release that
supports the server
Note – Sun Fire 280R systems with the 1.2-GHz CPU module have a dual-boot
image, which provides you with a choice of Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 operating
environment.
Sun Fire 280R systems using the CPU module at 1.015 GHz require the Solaris 8
02/02 operating environment or a compatible Solaris release that supports the
server.
Sun Fire 280R systems using the CPU module at 900 MHz require the Solaris 8
10/01 operating environment or a compatible Solaris release that supports the
server.
Sun Fire 280R systems using the CPU module at 750 MHz require the Solaris 8
01/01 operating environment or a compatible Solaris release that supports the
server.
To verify that the proper version of the operating environment is installed on
your Sun Fire 280R server, examine the file /etc/release. This file should
contain the text “Solaris 8 1/01”, “Solaris 8 10/01”, “Solaris 8 2/02”, “Solaris 8
12/02”, or “Solaris 9 12/02” or identify a subsequent compatible Solaris release.
