Updating OBP on a Sun Sunfire 280R

Hi,

I'm a newbie in the Unix world... Smilie

I own a Sun Sunfire 280R computer with one 750Mhz CPU. I ordered two CPU of 900Mhz to replace it; however in the Service manual from Sun I read that to use 900Mhz CPU i will need to have a OBP of at least version 4.5.16. When I type .version in OBP here's what I get:

Code:
Release 4.5 Version 10 created 2002/02/11 10:38 
OBP 4.5.10 2002/02/11 10:38 
POST 4.5.9 2002/02/05 21:25

I seem to have OBP version 4.5.10, so I would like to upgrade my OBP.
How can I do that? To I need to buy a preprogrammed chip from Sun and install it in my computer or can I just download a new one and flash it somehow? Could someone please help me a little bit on that?

Thanks

Monkey
