General Information

This section describes the functionality of various modules of the SPARCengine
UltraAXi board. The functionality is explained in the context of UltraAXi hardware,
OBP firmware and Solaris operating system software. It is possible to use the Ultra
AXi with other operating systems, with or without OBP. This usage is not discussed
in this manual.
