footnote 9 - This platform was originally certified with Intel "Sandy Bridge" CPUs. The minimum versions of RHEL needed to use Intel "Ivy Bridge" CPUs are RHEL 5.9 and RHEL 6.4.
Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations
HP Z820 Workstation
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
footnote 1 - HP systems can usually be ordered with a localization that affects documentation, keyboards, and other components. Typical Linux distributions are not installed as pre-localized, but the user can choose a
language and keyboard layout during post-installation configuration, or during the "first boot" when the OS comes preloaded on the system.
footnote 2 - Not orderable integrated into systems. Order AMO (After Market Option) kit.
footnote 3 - Get the latest drivers, "HP Installer Kit for Linux - HP Driver CD (or DVD) for Linux-distribution-name " ISO images from http://www.hp.com/support/z820. Under Download options, select Get drivers, software
& firmware. HP Workstations can be ordered with a variety of localization options that may vary by platform.
footnote 4 - Linux growisofs supports DVD+RW and Blu-ray media on the listed OSes. For drives that have the Lightscribe functionality, go to www.lightscribe.com for software to enable the labeling feature.
footnote 5 - Hardware RAID is supported using the LSI 9212-4i and 9217-4i4e (RAID 0, 1, 10 SATA & SAS), and for the LSI 9260-8i and 9270-8i (RAID 0, 1, 5 SATA & SAS), and on-board LSI 2308 (RAID 0, 1, 10 SATA & SAS).
SATA RAID is now supported on AHCI ports (0,1) and SCU ports(0,1,5,10).
footnote 6 - For more info about Linux driver support for HP printers, go to http://www.hplip.net.
footnote 7 - In general, single drives or volumes larger than 2.2 TB can only be fully accessed using GPT formatting. Newer Linux OSes can format GPT for the boot drive or volume but may require UEFI boot support. OSes
listed can all access GPT-formatted data volumes.
footnote 8 - USB 3.0 ports are completely non-functional under RHEL 5 due to absence of a driver for the port controller.
footnote 10 - The NVIDIA K20C and K40 are GPU-compute devices without graphics. The base OS will more or less ignore them. To make use of these devices, the proprietary driver must be installed. The minimum driver
version for support of K40 is 319.72.
footnote 11 - Newer Linux kernels may provide device functionality through the Thunderbolt module. Such kernels are likely to be available in leading-edge distributions, but inclusion of the support with any Enterprise
Linux distribution is at the distributor's discretion. For example, neither SLED 11 SP3 nor RHEL 6.5 incorporates significant Thunderbolt support.
