Update the Critical Server-Specific
Drivers
This chapter describes how to update the Windows Server installation with server-
specific device driver software.
This chapter contains the following sections:
■ “Updating the Server-Specific Drivers” on page 49
■ “Installing Supplemental Software” on page 54
■ “Additional Information for Supplemental Software” on page 56
The procedures in this chapter assume that you already:
■ Installed the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 operating
system.
■ Have your server’s latest Tools and Drivers CD/DVD. An ISO image of the Tools
and Drivers CD/DVD may also be downloaded from the Sun download site as
described in Chapter 2.
Updating the Server-Specific Drivers
Sun provides a wizard to install Sun server-specific drivers and supplemental
software. The Sun Fire Installation Package wizard may be started from the main
menu of your server’s Tools and Drivers CD/DVD. You may also choose to install
the drivers manually from the Tools and Drivers CD/DVD from a command line.
Follow the directions for using either method are described below:
■ “To Update the Server-Specific Drivers Using the Installation Wizard” on page 50
■ “To Update Server-Specific Drivers Manually” on page 51
