System Requirements for the UltraSPARC III Cu CPU Module

If you are installing an UltraSPARC III Cu CPU module (501-6002) you may need to
upgrade your workstation's OpenBoot PROM firmware and the Solaris operating
environment supporting the workstation.
The OpenBoot PROM firmware upgrade patch and the Solaris operating
environment update can be obtained from the Sun web site at:
http://www.sun.com/sunsolve/
Note – Always check the Sun web site for the latest compatible operating
environment, firmware, and software updates.
Before installing an UltraSPARC III Cu CPU module, verify that:
Solaris 8 10/01 is installed on your system. This is the first version of software
that supports the UltraSPARC III Cu CPU module.
OpenBoot PROM firmware v4.4.4* or later installed is on your system. The
firmware patch number for OpenBoot PROM v4.4.4 is 111292-05*. OpenBoot
PROM firmware v4.4.4 is the first version of firmware that supports the
UltraSPARC III Cu CPU module.
If necessary, upgrade your workstation's firmware and software to the versions
described above before beginning the installation procedure for the UltraSPARC III
Cu CPU module.
Note – Never mix UltraSPARC III 600, 750, or 900 MHz CPU modules with
UltraSPARC III Cu CPU modules. If the modules are mixed, the workstation will not
boot.
