footnote 6 - For K3000M and K4000M graphics on Linux, NVIDIA driver version 304.51 or later is required.
footnote 7 - In general, single drives or volumes larger than 2.2TB can only be fully accessed using GPT formatting. OSes listed can format GPT for the boot drive or
volume but may require installation of UEFI boot support, and can access GPT-formatted data volumes.
footnote 11- The Z1 All-in-One can support up to two 2.5-inch SATA drives or one 3.5-inch SATA drive.
Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations
HP Z1 All-in-One Workstation
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
footnote 4 - Depending on the OS release, the kernel ALSA driver may not enable all audio functions; some earlier kernels enable headphones but not speakers.
footnote 5 - For NVIDIA Quadro graphics on Linux, HP requires NVIDIA driver versions 295.20 or later for proper Z1 built-in display support.
footnote 1 - Hardware RAID is not supported on SATA drives.
footnote 2 - For more info about Linux driver support for HP printers, go to http://www.hplip.net.
footnote 3 - Depending on the OS release, the kernel DRM and X.org "Intel" driver may not support the Z1 built-in display correctly.
footnote 8 - The 6235 wireless controller requires updates to the SLED 11 SP2 kernel support and firmware package. The updates are available from SUSE, and are also
included in 2013 versions of the HP drivers kit (see footnote 10).
footnote 9 - 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.
