footnote 10 - The speaker and volume controls in the audio module are functional, but the telephony controls are not.
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. For a pre-loaded Linux OS,
similar choices can be made during the "firstboot" 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 6 - Support for the TPM or other security devices varies by OS distribution. Any use of the TPM module may require additional software from the distribution.
footnote 7 - The trackpad is not functional out of the box with any of these distributions at this time. To use the G5 Studio, one will have to use an external USB pointer device until such time as a work-around is founc or a
permanent solution is available. Please check with your distribution vendor.
footnote 8 - With Nvidia-based configurations, it is recommended to use the Nvidia closed source driver when using externally connected displays.
footnote 3 - For installation, HP recommends setting the BIOS gfx mode to 'discrete'. It may be necessary to boot with the 'nomodeset' option for installation to work around issues with the inbox gfx driver.
footnote 5 - The current supported Linux distributions have the correct iwlwifi driver, but may lack the latest Intel 9560 firmware to properly operate the wifi solution. Check with your distribution vendor for updates.
footnote 9 - The fingerprint sensor device is recognized/enumerated by the kernel. However, all of the setup and configuration to use the sensor for authenticate must be done by the user. FYI: The required software is not
typically installed by enterprise distributions.
footnote 4 - This option is not supported on Linux distributions.
footnote 2 - HP recommends the following minimum revision of the NVIDIA driver: 390.67 (or newer).
Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations
HP ZBook Studio G5 Mobile Workstation
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.
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
