Using This Documentation
This guide provides hardware and software installation instructions for the Sun Dual
Port 10GBase-T Adapter from Oracle. The instructions are meant for enterprise
system administrators who have experience installing network hardware and
software.
Important: The Sun Dual Port 10GBase-T Adapter was formerly named the Sun Dual
Port 10 GbE PCIe 2.0 Low Profile Adapter, Base-T. The former product name might
still appear in the product and document. The product name change does not
indicate any change in product features or functionality.
Note – In this document, the term “x86” refers to 64-bit and 32-bit systems
manufactured using processors compatible with the AMD64, Intel Xeon, or Intel
Pentium product families.

Product Description
The Sun Dual Port 10GBase-T Adapter is a 10 GbE NIC for PCIe systems. The
adapter offers a high density mutli-port design for Sun racks and blade servers. This
adapter addresses the multi-port network connectivity needs of data center
environments. The module is ideal for slot-constrained servers, providing a
simplified low-cost alternative to multiple 10 GbE server adapters for Oracle’s Sun
portfolio of SPARC and x86 servers.

OS Patches and Updates
Before you patch the current OS due to version differences, you should update the
entire OS image, if possible, on the client system. For JumpStart environments,
ensure that you update the entire OS on the JumpStart server.
If you cannot update the entire OS image, download the latest patch that contains the
software driver.

Installing the Driver
The SUNWixgbe software package comes bundled in the Oracle Solaris software.
These topics explain how to verify the ixgbe(7D) device driver on an Oracle x86 or
Oracle SPARC system that uses the Oracle Solaris OS. The topics also explain how to
download and install the ixgbe(7D) driver on Linux and Windows systems.
Note – The Oracle Solaris 10 8/10 OS and the Oracle Solaris 11 OS are the first
releases to support the Sun Dual Port 10GBase-T Adapter. You can upgrade to or
install either one of these releases, but the version of the driver must be the same on
both the client system and the server system.
