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 T1000 and now 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.  For the Sun Fire T1000, 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.
