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_6-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 the terms
	 promptly destroy unused Firmware.
 
NOTE 3:  This patch supports both the Sun Fire T1000 and the APL SPARC
         Enterprise T1000 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. 
 
         The system may experience boot or other problems with earlier 
         version of Solaris (S10_HW2).
 
         SPARC Enterprise T1000 (APL) configurations require 
         Solaris 10 11/06 (Update 3) (or later) to be installed.
 
NOTE 4:  Please refer to online documentation for feature and version
         compatibility between Sun System Firmware and LDom Manager
         releases.

         Logical Domains (LDoms) 1.0.3 Release Notes 820-4895
 
NOTE 5:  If you are currently using LDoms 1.0 or 1.0.1 software, 
         you must perform a full upgrade procedure to upgrade to 
         LDoms 1.0.3 software. 
 
         Refer to the Logical Domains (LDoms) 1.0.3 Administration Guide, 
         820-4894, at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/ldoms#hic. 
         You do not need to destroy configurations created with 
         LDoms 1.0.2 software; you only need to upgrade the software.
