3.1 Preparing for Software Installation
Note – If the CD-ROM drive that you are using for software installation is
attached to a remote machine, refer to your SunOS installation guide for
remote CD-ROM access.
For Solaris 2.5 Systems
Some newer systems are pre-loaded with the SunSwift SBus Adapter driver
(hme). Before installing the driver from the CD-ROM, perform the following
task.
♦ As superuser, check for the hme driver and its revision number by using
the modinfo command:
You should see a line similar to the example below if the driver is already
installed:
• If the revision number is 1.40 or above, your system already has the
SunSwift SBus Adapter driver, and loading from the CD is unnecessary.
• If the revision number is below 1.40, or nothing is displayed as a result of
the modinfo command, install the software from the CD-ROM that came
with the SunSwift SBus Adapter. (See below).
Installing Software From the CD-ROM for Solaris 2.4 and 2.5
♦ Install the software drivers from the CD-ROM that came with the
SunSwift SBus Adapter. Refer to the CD-ROM documentation that came
with your adapter for driver installation instructions
(Part No: 804-5303-10).
