NOTE 2: By using Sun System Firmware (Firmware) you agree to the terms of the
        Software License Agreement and Entitlement (SLA/Entitlement) found in
        Sun_System_Firmware-6_3-download_SLA_and_Entitlement.txt.  By using the 
	Firmware, you agree to the terms of the SLA/Entitlement. If you do not
	agree to all of the terms promptly destroy the unused Firmware.
 
NOTE 3: This patch supports both the Sun Fire T2000 and now the APL SPARC 
	Enterprise T2000 product lines, which share the same firmware.  
	We include two separate Sun System Firmware binary files, with 
	different names corresponding to the respective products.   The 
	different names are provided for convenience, the two files are 
	otherwise identical.  For the Sun Fire T2000, upgrading to
	Sun System Firmware 6.3.12 (or later) requires Solaris 10 Update 1 
	(or later) to be installed. 
 
NOTE 4: The system may experience boot or other problems with earlier 
	version of Solaris (S10_HW2).  SPARC Enterprise T1000 (APL) 
	configurations require Solaris 10 Update 3 (or later) to be installed.
