there should have been a readme that came with the drivers- you may have to recompile your kernel (if they are patches). There is plenty of documentation on that on kernel.org. However, if your manufacturer gave you modules (end in a .o), you can try to insmod them. there should be documentation as to which version(s) of the linux kernel are compatible with your drivers though, but try (in the dir):
insmod ./driver-name.o
and see if that works.

NAME

       bscv, bscbus, i2bsc - Blade support chip interface driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  bscv,  bscbus  and	i2bsc drivers interface with the Blade support chip used on Sun Microsystem's Blade server products. These drivers
       provide a conduit for passing control, environmental, cpu signature and event information between Solaris and the Blade support chip.

       These drivers do not export public interfaces. Instead they make information available via picl, prtdiag,  prtfru  and  related	tools.	In
       addition, these drivers log Blade support chip environmental event information into system logs.
