This section describes how to install an AMCC adapter and adapter driver on a Sun host system running Solaris 8 or 9.

Note: AMCC adapters do not support Sun host systems running Solaris 10.
The following steps are general steps used to install AMCC adapters, before using these steps to install the adapter and driver, read through all documentation that comes with your adapter card and driver download and follow any specific instructions included in that documentation.
  1. Shutdown your host system.
  2. Insert the AMCC PCI adapter into an available PCI slot.
