IMPORTANT:

For certain server/operating system combinations, the drivers supplied with the operating system

need to be modified by replacing the initrd file (the initrd file is the boot RAM disk) supplied

with the operating system with a customized initrd that HP provides. When a server needs to

modified in this way, there will be a note in the entry for the server. For information on obtaining

the initrd file, see the table titled "Download web address for customized initrd files" in the HP

Insight Control for Linux User Guide.
