Restoring the Solaris Preinstalled Software
Note – You must use Solaris 8 2/04 and Solaris 9 9/04 or subsequent compatible
versions on the Sun Blade 2500 workstation.
1. Get the backup media, the Solaris Media Kit.
You might already have the Solaris Media Kit if you ordered it with your
workstation. If you did not order the kit with your system, contact your Sun sales
representative and ask to order the Solaris Media Kit for your language and Solaris
version. For more information, refer to the following web site:

2. Follow the installation instructions in the Start Here document that comes with
the kit.
You can install the Solaris Operating System and as much of the additional software
as you want.
