Page 7: Preface
Preface The Solaris 7 11/99 Sun Hardware Platform Guide contains important information about the Sun™ hardware supported by the Solaris™ 7 11/99 operating environment. This manual: Provides platform-specific installation instructions for the Solaris 7 11/99 software Describes software provided on the Sun Computer Systems Supplement CD and...
Page 8 Where to Find Installation Information The Solaris 7 11/99 software is delivered on two CDs: Solaris 7 11/99 SPARC Platform Edition CD (called the Solaris CD throughout this manual) Supplement for Solaris 7 11/99 Operating Environment for Sun Computer Systems CD (called the Supplement CD throughout this manual).
Page 9 Chapter 5 describes the procedure for updating the flash PROMs for 64-bit operation on Sun Enterprise 3x00, 4x00, 5x00, and 6x00 systems. Chapter 6 describes how to install the Solaris 7 11/99 software either as a new installation or as an upgrade on systems where the SPARCstorage Array™ may be used as the boot device.
Page 10 Chapter 9 describes installing Alternate Pathing 2.2 on Sun Enterprise 10000 servers. Chapter 10 describes how to install Solaris 7 11/99 software on a Sun Enterprise 10000 Domain. It also describes how to upgrade the Solaris software on a host domain.

Page 22: 32-Bit Kernel The Default On 200Mhz Or Lower Ultrasparc Systems
64-bit program designed to exploit a problem that could cause a processor to stall. Since 64-bit programs cannot run on the Solaris 32-bit kernel, the Solaris 32-bit kernel is booted by default on these systems. Solaris 7 11/99 Sun Hardware Platform Guide • November 1999...
Page 23 The code sequence that exploits the problem is very unusual, and is not likely to be generated by a compiler. Assembler code had to be specifically written to demonstrate the problem. It is highly unlikely that a legitimate handwritten assembler routine would use this code sequence. Users willing to assume the risk that a user might accidentally or deliberately run a program that was designed to cause a processor to stall may choose to run the Solaris 64-bit kernel on these systems.
