Software Requirements

• The Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment or a subsequent compatible version of the operating environment

For the Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment, you must first install the Sun Fire V880z Operating Environment Installation DVD, accompanying this Sun XVR-4000
graphics accelerator installation kit. See Appendix E for this procedure.

• The Solaris 9 4/03 operating environment or a subsequent compatible version of the operating environment

If you are installing the Solaris 9 4/03 operating environment, it already has the software needed for the Sun Fire V880z server including the Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerator. After installing that Solaris release (or a subsequent release), install OpenGL 1.3, Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerator patches, and extra value software from the Sun XVR-4000 Graphics Accelerator CD.

See TABLE 3-5 for the list of patches. Always check for the latest software patches at: http://sunsolve.sun.com/

Updated versions of Sun OpenGL® for Solaris are available at: http://www.sun.com/software/graphics/OpenGL/
