SunSolaris Device Drivers from Compaq
Your server must have certain device drivers for some server options to
operate using the Solaris (Intel platforms) operating system. Compaq provides
driver support for Solaris 2.6 and later versions.
These drivers and installation procedures are located at the SunSoft website
http:/access1.sun.com/drivers
Banyan VINES Device Drivers from Compaq
Your server must have certain device drivers for some server options to
operate using the Banyan VINES operating system. Compaq provides driver
support for Banyan VINES 7.x and later versions.
These drivers are located on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD
you received with your server. You can use SmartStart to create a Banyan
VINES Support Software Diskette (SSD) from Compaq to support a manual
installation of Banyan VINES. There are two types of SSDs:
■
LAN Adapter SSD
■
Peripheral Adapter SSD
These SSDs contain the README files that list available drivers and driver
installation procedures.
These drivers can also be ordered through SoftPaq and can be downloaded
from the Compaq website.
