footnote 8 - This platform implements TPM 2.0. Support for the TPM or other security devices varies by OS distribution.
footnote 10 - 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. Select your language, choose Software
and Drivers, type Z1 G3 in the Enter my HP model number field, and select Find my product. Under Download options, select Get drivers, software & firmware.
footnote 3 - The wireless LAN functionality is supported by many Linux distributions as of this edition. However, enablement for the Bluetooth functionality is not available in all of the same releases.
Later updates on most of those release streams can be expected to improve the support.
footnote 4 - The Z Turbo Drive G2 PCIe-attached storage device has its own controller and is supported by the standard nvme kernel module in supported OSes.
footnote 5 - 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.
footnote 6 - Linux growisofs supports DVD+RW media on the listed OSes.
footnote 7 - For more info about Linux driver support for HP printers, please visit http://www.hplip.net.
footnote 9 - The Intel HD graphics hardware works with the in-box frame-buffer drivers. Support for the "native" Intel driver is not available for most release streams as of this edition of the table.
footnote 1 - Typical Linux distributions support many possible localizations. If you're installing the OS yourself, you can make selections for language and keyboard layout during that process. In some
cases, extra font packages may be available. HP Workstations can be ordered with a variety of localization options that may vary by platform.
footnote 2 - Hardware RAID is not recommended on SATA drives with Linux. Software RAID is available in most Linux OSes and can be used with SATA or PCIe storage devices.
Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations
Certifications pending.
As of this edition of this matrix, some Enterprise-class Linux releases enable the Intel architecture used in this system.
HP considers enablement for the CPU, chipset, and the on-board LAN to be minimum requirements.
