Chapter 1 Hardware Compatibility List for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition)

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" to see if a more current version exists.

The term "x86" refers to the Intel 8086 family of microprocessor chips, including the Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium II Xeon, and Celeron 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.

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 your Sun Software Support Provider (SSSP). In North America, you can also call SunSoft Technical Support at 1-800-SUNSOFT, option 4.

It is common practice for hardware vendors to release variants of a particular hardware design under a single marketing name. In some cases, not all variants will work with the current Solaris device driver. Check Driver Update Guide for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) and Device Reference Manual for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) to see if they provide additional information about specific hardware versions supported by the current Solaris device driver.
