Hardware Support Matrix for Current HP Linux Workstations
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; 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 1 - 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/xw4200
(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 Workstations'
footnote 2 - Linux growisofs supports DVD+RW on Red Hat EL WS 3 or later. For drives that have the Lightscribe functionality, the labeling functionality is not supported.
HP xw4200 Workstation Red Hat Linux Support
First time support begins with RHEL 3 Update 2 (x86 & x86_64), and RHEL4 Initial (x86 & x86_64)
footnote 3 - 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 4 - 280 NVS PCI card may be used alone or with another card. The SLI connector used to connect the graphic cards together will not be supported until RedHat delivers RHEL3 U6.
See instructions at http://hp.com/support/linux_user_manual -> 'Multi-Monitor Configurations on HP Linux Workstations'.
footnote 7 -The xw4200 can support up to 4 SATA drives. In order to support the 3rd and 4th SATA drives, the customer needs 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 32-bit preload on xw4200 and Red Hat WS 3 U5 64-bit preload on xw4300, xw6200,
xw8200, xw9300. Please refer to the Release Notes Chapter in http://www.hp.com/support/linux_user_manual.
