For conguration information, contact the vendor, Mylex Corporation. This adapter can be made RAID-capable with the addition of a Hardware Disk Array module. This adapter does not have the SDMS BIOS on board. It should be used only on a system that contains the SCSI BIOS as part of its main system BIOS. Wide SCSI not yet supported in Solaris driver. Congure as an Adaptec AHA-1520A.

Various CD-ROM players may not be fully SCSI-compliant in their handling of the CDROMREADHEADER command. This may cause failures from vold not mounting an eligible CD-ROM. The workaround is to mount the CD-ROM manually. These devices are supported in CD-ROM mode only. Solaris Intel Platform Edition does not currently support the UDF le system on DVD disks and players. Early versions of NEC rmware were not fully SCSI-compliant; thus these drives may only work if synchronous negotiation and disconnect are disabled on the SCSI adapter used with the CD-ROM drive, or if the drive is jumpered to use scsi-1 commands, as appropriate. Only the rst CD-ROM in the Pioneer DRM-604X CD-ROM changer is supported by default. This drive does not work with the Adaptec AHA-2940 SCSI HBA. Must have at least BIOS 1.0.

The ET4000/W32 video cards that are shipped with Acer machines are not all the same. If you encounter any display problems when the window system is running, try using a different add-on board that is compatible with the Solaris operating environment. Video adapters based on the Cirrus Logic GD5424 chipset with 512-Kbyte DRAM may not perform well in 800x600x256 mode, particularly if the selected monitor refresh rate is 60 Hz or higher. Sun does not guarantee that every video device with this chip will work, but it is possible that your model can be used successfully. Support is provided for ATI cards with ATI Mach64 chips and these RAMDACS: ATT68860, ATT20C408, ATT20C491, ATT20C498, STG1702, and STG1703. The ATI Winturbo model is equivalent to the Gateway ATI GX Mach64 PCI video card. The ProSignia 300 systems and some models of the ProSignia Server systems with the Cirrus Logic 5424 graphics chip are supported. Choose one of the Cirrus Logic 5424 (512k) entries when conguring the window system using kdmconfig. For cards using the IBM or TI RAMDACs only. The ELSA Winner 1000Pro with the ATT20C498 RAMDAC is supported. Both the STG1702 and the ATT21C498 RAMDACs are supported. Select Cirrus Logic 542x when conguring the display adapter during Solaris installation. 640x480, 16 colors. Any 256-Kbyte or better VGA adapter supporting standard IBM mode 0x12 graphics. For VGA with 800x600 virtual screen, select 16 color, 640x480 VGA panning @800x600 (for experts only, see docs) when conguring the display adapter during Solaris installation. Warning: This selection enables panning mode on a standard VGA. This video mode supports a virtual resolution of 800x600, but is only capable of physically displaying 640x480 pixels at a time. This may be a preferred mode to use on small screens, but the use of panning may require some training. To support 1152x900 or 1280x1024 resolution on the Intergraph TD-1 display adapter, you must select an interlaced monitor type when conguring the Solaris window system. Choose Multifrequency 56kHz (up to 1280x1024 interlaced) as the monitor type. To support the Intergraph G95, select the graphics card Matrox MGA Millennium when conguring the Solaris window system. To support the Intergraph ISMP, select the graphics card Cirrus Logic GD5434 when conguring the Solaris window system. Repeatedly switching between graphics mode and text mode may cause your system to hang. If this happens, reboot the system. The Number Nine #9GXE video display adapters (ISA and VESA local bus) support 24-bit color in 640x480 mode only. The 8-Mbyte version of the Number Nine Imagine 128 Series 2e is not supported. Select #9GXE 64 (Trio64) when conguring the display adapter during Solaris installation. Older versions of the Orchid Kelvin 64 VLB card have memory addressing limitations that may cause problems on systems containing 32 Mbytes or more of RAM. If you experience a problem, contact Orchid Technology for assistance. This card does not work at the 1024x768 resolution with a 56-kHz refresh rate.

Hardware Compatibility List for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) October 2000

CHAPTER

This document provides information about general x86 hardware requirements and the peripherals and system platforms that are supported in the SolarisTM 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 8 to see if a more current version exists.
Note - 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 difculties 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.

Various CD-ROM players may not be fully SCSI-compliant in their handling of the CDROMREADHEADER command. This may cause failures from vold not mounting an eligible CD-ROM. The workaround is to mount the CD-ROM manually. These devices are supported in CD-ROM mode only. Solaris Intel Platform Edition does not currently support the UDF le system on DVD disks and players. Early versions of NEC rmware were not fully SCSI-compliant; thus these drives may only work if synchronous negotiation and disconnect are disabled on the SCSI adapter used with the CD-ROM drive, or if the drive is jumpered to use scsi-1 commands, as appropriate. Only the rst CD-ROM in the Pioneer DRM-604X CD-ROM changer is supported by default. This drive does not work with the Adaptec AHA-2940 SCSI HBA. Must have at least BIOS 1.0.

Cards with ASSY 03-0021-000, REV A printed on them do not work with the Solaris software. Card misdetects 8-bit slot. Some NE2000plus clones may only work in I/O or shared memory mode, depending on the system or conguration, while running Solaris software. Because certain board revisions have been found not to work, refer to the table in the DEC 21040, 21041, 21140, 21142, 21143 Ethernet Device Reference Page for additional information. Special conguration required; refer to the table in the DEC 21040, 21041, 21140, 21142, 21143 Ethernet Device Reference Page for additional information. Refer to the Compaq NetFlex-3, Netelligent Controllers Device Reference Page. Only the newer versions of these cards are supported. The versions successfully tested have stickers with the numbers 625-0367-00 and 625-0369-00; older versions of the card, for example, those with the number 625-0136-00, do not work.

The ET4000/W32 video cards that are shipped with Acer machines are not all the same. If you encounter any display problems when the window system is running, try using a different add-on board that is compatible with the Solaris operating environment. Video adapters based on the Cirrus Logic GD5424 chipset with 512-Kbyte DRAM may not perform well in 800x600x256 mode, particularly if the selected monitor refresh rate is 60 Hz or higher. SunSoft does not guarantee that every video card with this video chip will work, but it is possible that your model will be one of a large number that can be used successfully. Support is provided for ATI cards with ATI Mach64 chips and these RAMDACS: ATT68860, ATT20C408, ATT20C491, ATT20C498, STG1702, and STG1703. The ATI Winturbo model is equivalent to the Gateway ATI GX Mach64 PCI video card.
TABLE 129 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.
15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21.
The ProSignia 300 systems and some models of the ProSignia Server systems with the Cirrus Logic 5424 graphics chip are supported. Choose one of the Cirrus Logic 5424 (512k) entries when conguring the window system using kdmconfig. Used on the Compaq QVision 1280/E Graphics Controller and in the Compaq Deskpro 590. For cards using the IBM or TI RAMDACs only. The Diamond Viper SE is not supported at 80 Hz in 1280x1024 resolution. The ELSA Winner 1000Pro with the ATT20C498 RAMDAC is supported. Both the STG1702 and the ATT21C498 RAMDACs are supported. Select Cirrus Logic 542x when conguring the display adapter during Solaris installation. 640x480, 16 colors. Any 256-Kbyte or better VGA adapter supporting standard IBM mode 0x12 graphics. For VGA with 800x600 virtual screen, select 16 color, 640x480 VGA panning @800x600 (for experts only, see docs) when conguring the display adapter during Solaris installation. Warning: This selection enables panning mode on a standard VGA. This video mode supports a virtual resolution of 800x600, but is only capable of physically displaying 640x480 pixels at a time. This may be a preferred mode to use on small screens, but the use of panning may require some training. For more information, see the documentation supplied with Video Driver Updates for Solaris 2.6 Intel Platform Edition, available on the Web at http://access1.sun.com/drivers/. To support 1152x900 or 1280x1024 resolution on the Intergraph TD-1 display adapter, you must select an interlaced monitor type when conguring the Solaris window system. Choose Multifrequency 56kHz (up to 1280x1024 interlaced) as the monitor type. See the documentation supplied with Video Driver Updates for Solaris 2.6 Intel Platform Edition, available on the Web at http:// access1.sun.com/drivers/ for more information. The Intergraph G90 is synonymous with the Diamond Viper video card. The Intergraph G91 also supports a resolution of 1600x1280 for 8-bit color. For additional information on this model, see the Device Reference Page. To support the Intergraph G95, select the graphics card Matrox MGA Millennium when conguring the Solaris window system. To support the Intergraph ISMP, select the graphics card Cirrus Logic GD5434 when conguring the Solaris window system. The Number Nine #9GXE video display adapters (ISA and VESA local bus) support 24-bit color in 640x480 mode only. Select #9GXE 64 (Trio64) when conguring the display adapter during Solaris installation. Older versions of the Orchid Kelvin 64 VLB card have memory addressing limitations that may cause problems if your system contains 32 Mbytes or more of RAM. For more information, see the documentation supplied with Video Driver Updates for Solaris 2.6 Intel Platform Edition, available on the Web at http://access1.sun.com/drivers/. This card does not work at the 1024x768 resolution with a 56-kHz refresh rate.

Note - For a list of Notebook Computers that have been tested with the Solaris 2.6
Intel Platform Edition operating environment, see Table 13.
Note - Entries marked with an asterisk (*) are newly supported and require a Video
Driver Update for proper operation.
