HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY
Solaris Can be installed in two hardware Platforms.
1) SPARC
2) I.A (Intel Architecture)

NO issues of H/W for SPARC Platform.
(As SPARC is proprietary hardware from the vendor of
Solaris itself, SUN machines are supported by default)
We have check for H/W compatibility of all Intel machines.
(Powered either with Pentium,AMD,Cyrix)
HCL FOR I.A
We have check for the following hardware compatibility
before beginning the installation on INTEL systems.
1) Processor type (CPU)
2) Motherboards
3) VGA Cards
4) Network Cards

NOTE:-
1) For all the Hardware issues of I.A based systems
Sun has provided the documentation in the Sun website.
2) So search for HCL for Intel on www.sun.com site.

HCL FOR I.A
1) Processor Type (C.P.U)
All most all processors from the following vendors are supported.
a) Intel
b) AMD
c) Cyrix



INTEL AMD CYRIX
Pentium-I
