footnote 7 -The xw4200 can support up to 4 SATA drives, in order to support the 3rd and 4th SATA drive the customer will need the Optical Bay Conversion Kit for each drive.
footnote 8 - The ATI v5100 is not supported due to Vesa driver issues during install. Please refer to the Release Notes Chapter in http://www.hp.com/support/linux_user_manual for instructions on
how to install the ATI driver.
This Month's Change Log: Will be offering support on ATI Cards. Will be offering Red Hat WS 3 U5 32bit preload on xw4200 and Red Hat WS 3 U5 64bit preload on xw4300, xw6200,

footnote 5 - Mixed hard drives are not offered on the preload. Use SATA or SCSI, not both. We do offer mixed drives on the HPIKL (FreeDos) configuration.
footnote 6 - Hardware RAID is not supported on Linux Systems and this includes the Promise SATA Raid Card, Onboard SATA Chipset Raid, Adaptec 2120S SCSI Raid Card, LSI 20320 A-R SCS
Card, Onboard SCSI Chipset Raid. The Linux kernel, with built-in software RAID, provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good alternative to hardware-based RAID.

First time support begins with RHEL 3 Update 2 (x86 & x86_64), and RHEL4 Initial (x86 & x86_64)
footnote 3 - Get the latest drivers and "HP Installer Kit for Linux - HP Driver CD for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 5" ISO images from http://www.hp.com/support/xw6200 (substitute correct
platform name); Select "download drivers and software"; Select OS; Select file to download. See also http://hp.com/support/linux_user_manual -> 'Install Guide for Red Hat Linux on HP Linux

footnote 4 - Linux growisofs supports DVD+RW on Red Hat EL WS 3 or later. For drives that have the Lightscribe funtionality, the labeling functionality is not supported.
footnote 1 - Localization supported: (ABA US English, ABC French Canadian, ABD Germany, ABE Spain, ABF France, ABG Australia, ABU UK English, ABJ Japan, AB2 China(PRC), AB4
Singapore/ Malaysia, ABZ Italy, AB5 Hong Kong, ACF Japan-English, ACJ India-English, AB0 Taiwan, AK6 Europe A4, AC0 Belgium, ABS Sweden, ABB Int'l English)
footnote 2 - Not orderable integrated into systems. Order AMO (After Market Only) kit.
footnote 6 - 285 NVS PCI card may be used alone or with another card. See instructions at http://hp.com/support/linux_user_manual -> 'Multi-Monitor Configurations on HP Linux Workstations'.
This Month's Change Log: Will be offering Red Hat WS 4 U4 64bit preload on xw4300, xw4400, xw6200, xw6400, xw8200, xw8400, xw9300, xw9400. Please refer to the Release Notes
Chapter in http://www.hp.com/support/linux_user_manual.
footnote 7 - Mixed hard drives are not offered on the preload. Use SATA or SCSI, not both. We do offer mixed drives on the HPIKL (FreeDos) configuration.
footnote 5 - Hardware RAID is not supported on Linux Systems and this includes the Promise SATA Raid Card, Onboard SATA Chipset Raid, Adaptec 2120S SCSI Raid Card, LSI 20320 A-R SCSI
Card, Onboard SCSI Chipset Raid. The Linux kernel, with built-in software RAID, provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good alternative to hardware-based RAID.
footnote 8 - The ATI v5100 is not supported due to Vesa driver issues during install. Please refer to the Release Notes Chapter in http://www.hp.com/support/linux_user_manual for instructions on
how to install the ATI driver.
footnote 9 - Keyboard/Mouse interface must be either PS2 or USB; mixing is not supported
