CHAPTER 11
Hardware Compatibility List for Solaris
2.6 (Intel Platform Edition)
Note - The term “x86” refers to the Intel 8086 family of microprocessor chips,
including the Pentium and Pentium Pro processors and compatible microprocessor
chips made by AMD and Cyrix. In this document the term “x86” refers to the overall
platform architecture, whereas “Intel Platform Edition” appears in the product name.
This document provides information about general x86 hardware requirements and
the peripherals and system platforms that are supported in the Solaris
TM
2.6 Intel
Platform Edition computing environment.
Throughout the Solaris 2.6 release cycle, support for additional systems will be
added to the product on an ongoing basis. This document will continue to be
updated to describe the new support. You can access the locations listed in “How to
Obtain Updated Hardware Compatibility Lists and Device Driver Information” on
page 11-3 to see if a more current version exists.
System platforms listed in this document are tested “as-shipped” by the hardware
manufacturers. Since it is the nature of this industry to have unexpected and
unannounced changes, SunSoft is committed to working with customers who
experience difficulties installing the Solaris software on supported systems. If any
problems are encountered with this release, contact SunSoft Technical Support at
1-800-SUNSOFT, option 4, or call your Sun Software Support Provider (SSSP).
