{color:orange}{*}Introduction{*}{color}
(*y) {color:#000000}Some time ago I created a document, called{color} [x86 Server configuration whitepaper|http://wikis.sun.com/display/Event/x86+Server+configuration+whitepaper] which helps Sun partners and customers to get information about supported operating systems, option cards and storage arrays to configure their x86 Server properly.
I got a lot of positive feedback ( Thank you very much, it is a pleasure), but then I was asked: "Well, so far, so good. But, where do I get some guidings how to install my new machine?"
Well, there are already a bunch of information provided by Sun, for instance:
- the [Sun Documentation |http://docs.sun.com], where you can find all documentations about Sun Systems and of course [x64 Sun Servers |http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/server.x64#hic], e.g. server service manuals, hardware installation guides, os installation guides and so on.
- [BigAdmin |http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/home/index.jsp], with a lot of information and best practices for System Administrators
- for [students |http://www.sun.com/students/], an extra portal
- for [developers |http://developers.sun.com/], special informations
- for [Sun partners |http://www.sun.com/partners/], providing news, trainings, and programs for Sun partners
so what is the purpose, to create yet another one?

{color:orange}{*}The purpose of this page{*}{color}
(*b) The purpose of this Sun space is to share information and to gather links to official - not just Sun - documentations about the installation of x64 Sun servers.
And to make it easier to find these information.
Sun Partners, Sun customers and all wikis-users are invited to add information here. :-)

{color:orange}{*}Where to start?*{color}
(*g) Please, scroll down to the child pages at the bottom, choose your system and find the information sorted by sections.
A lot of the documentations are written in english, but sometimes also available in other languages like german. You can download many of the books as .pdf file, and the server documentations are also as available as .zip file for downloading.
You have some suggestions, or miss information, so please let me know.
