4 Sun Fire 280R Server Product Notes • April 2003
System Firmware
The following are the minimum system PROM firmware requirements for Sun
Fire 280R systems:
■ Sun Fire 280R systems using the 1.2-GHz CPU module require version 4.5.21 or
later of the OpenBoot™ PROM.
■ Sun Fire 280R systems using the 900-MHz CPU module or the 1.015-GHz CPU
module require version 4.5.16 or later of the OpenBoot PROM.
If you are operating a Sun Fire 280R server shipped with any of these modules
installed, then your firmware is already at the required level. If you are
upgrading a system to include any of these modules, install patch 111292-12 or
later, which will update your firmware to the correct version. This patch is
available on the SunSolve
SM
web site.
Note – OpenBoot PROM 4.6.6 is not supported on the Sun Fire 280R server. If you
installed OpenBoot PROM 4.6.6, you must change your firmware to a supported
version of OpenBoot PROM firmware.
Solaris Operating Environment
Preinstallation Information
The Sun Fire 280R system shipped with these Product Notes has one of the
following Solaris operating environments already installed on its hard drive:
■ Sun Fire 280R systems with the 1.2-GHz CPU module have a dual-boot image
(Solaris 8 HW 12/02 operating environment and Solaris 9 12/02 operating
environment).
■ Sun Fire 280R systems with the 900-MHz CPU module or the 1.015-GHz CPU
have the Solaris 8 02/02 operating environment.
The Sun™ Remote System Control 2.2 (RSC) packages are also included in these
images.
If you do not want to use the preinstalled operating environment, you can bypass
the image on the hard drive by using one of the following methods to install another
compatible version of the Solaris operating environment.
