damage the connectors. If a component does not seat in a slot, remove it and try again.
Recording NVRAM Configuration Parameters
Record the NVRAM configuration parameters for your computer (especially those that are
non-standard) before you proceed with the upgrade. Save this information in case you
encounter system difficulty after the upgrade is complete. This information may be
required by your system administrator.
To record NVRAM configuration parameters:
• For SunOS 4.1.3, 4.1.3_U1 or 4.1.4: At the shell prompt, enter the command:
eeprom | lpr
• For Solaris 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5: At the shell prompt, enter the command:
eeprom | lp
This prints a list of NVRAM on the network or local printer.

Support at 1-888-RMCC-NOW (1-888-762-2669).
Unpacking the Upgrade Kit
The hyperSTATION motherboard is packaged in an anti-static bag and placed in a
protective foam casing. To remove the motherboard from the packaging, open the box and
lift the top piece of foam.
The hyperSPARC modules and any optional memory SIMMs provided with your upgrade
kit are packaged in separate anti-static bags. There are two compartments in the top piece
of the protective foam casing for the hyperSTATION motherboard. The hyperSPARC
modules are in one compartment.
Remove all components from their packaging, but leave them in their anti-static bags until
you are ready to install them.
Keep the packaging materials handy as they will be needed to return the removed
SPARCstation motherboard and old modules, upon completion of the upgrade.
