This document provides information about general IA hardware requirements and the peripherals and system platforms that are supported in Solaris
TM
8 x86 Platform Edition.
It documents cumulative changes since the release of Solaris 8 x86 Platform Edition.
Note -
In this document the term "IA" refers to the x86 32-bit processor architecture, which includes the Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium II Xeon, Celeron, Pentium III, and Pentium III Xeon processors and compatible microprocessor chips made by AMD and Cyrix.
Note -
System platforms listed in this document are tested "as-shipped" by the hardware manufacturers, but due to the nature of this industry, there might be unexpected and unannounced changes.
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 the “Device Reference Pages” in Solaris 8 (x86 Platform Edition) Device Configuration Guide
to see if they provide additional information about specific hardware versions supported by the current Solaris device driver.
