Installing Solaris Patches
1. Download the needed patches.
There are two ways to download the needed patches. The first method is
preferred because it provides the latest version of the patches.

Download the latest version of the following patches from
http://sunsolve.sun.com/:
125370 and 127112
Note –
125370 also requires the following additional patches: 118344-14 and 123840-
04 (or greater). 127112 requires the following additional patches: 118344-14,

Copy the patches from the Tools and Drivers CD.
a. Mount the Tools and Drivers CD in your Solaris system.
b. Locate the patches that provide support for the Intel Xeon 5200 and 5400
series processors. Access the following directory in the Sun Fire X4150 Tools
and Drivers v1.1 CD:
/<DVD_DRIVE>/drivers/sx86/patches
c. Create a new directory, as required.

new processors.
