Software Requirements
■
The Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment or a subsequent compatible version of
the operating environment
For the Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment, you must first install the Sun Fire
V880z Operating Environment Installation DVD, accompanying this Sun
XVR-4000 graphics accelerator installation kit. See Appendix E for this procedure.
■
The Solaris 9 4/03 operating environment or a subsequent compatible version of
the operating environment
If you are installing the Solaris 9 4/03 operating environment, it already has the
software needed for the Sun Fire V880z server including the Sun XVR-4000
graphics accelerator. After installing that Solaris release (or a subsequent release),
install OpenGL 1.3, Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerator patches, and extra value
software from the Sun XVR-4000 Graphics Accelerator CD.
