Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations

General Notes that apply to all Platforms

Purpose of the Linux Hardware Matrix

The HP Workstations Linux Hardware Matrix provides per-platform advisory information about the functionality of HP workstation

desktops, and the hardware components applicable to them, under several Linux distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux

(RHEL) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED).

The Linux Hardware Matrix does not represent the issue support that you can expect from the Linux OS

distributor. Please see the section below entitled "Important Information about OS Support."

About Linux OS Release Streams

As technology advances, newer releases of Linux distributions are more likely to have sufficient support for new hardware (processors

and chipset architectures, storage controllers, etc.) than are older releases in the same streams.

The Linux Hardware Matrix shows information for releases that provide reasonably complete functionality for the platform and

components, using drivers that are part of the distribution, unless noted to the contrary. The releases shown are typically the most

current at the time that the platform was launched, but in some cases an already-existing release may provide good functionality.

It is advisable to apply the distributor's most recent maintenance updates in order to get defect and security fixes (and in some cases,

additional hardware enablement).

Important Information about OS Support

Distributors of enterprise-class Linux releases have certification processes that verify that a particular platform is functional and

supportable. Most distributors will not support issues that arise on non-certified platforms. Therefore, it is important that you consult

the vendor's certification website to verify certification for the OS release you are planning to use. Here are the sites for distributions

covered in this document:

SUSE: https://www.suse.com/yessearch/Search.jsp

Red Hat: http://hardware.redhat.com

How to Use this Document

Please remember that the general notes on this page apply to all platforms in this Linux Hardware Matrix. If you print out platform

pages, be sure to print this one also.

The platform-specific pages in this matrix are formatted as follows:

* The platform is identified at the top of the page. For some platforms, the original releases on which the platform was certified by

Linux distributors are noted. However, the Linux vendor certification site is always the authoritative source.

* Built-in (onboard) and optional components are listed in the left-hand column. This set of components initially represents what was

listed as available at the time the platform was launched. The list may be updated periodically as new options are added. However, it

is not an authoritative list of product options. Please see the platform specification (QuickSpecs), available at www.hp.com, for the

most up-to-date list.

* One or more OS distribution columns are shown to the right of the components column. The headers of these columns identify the

OSes for which functionality has been evaluated by HP. In some cases, these columns have been updated since the platform was

launched. Component functionality is expected to be retained later in the same OS release stream, and some missing functionality

might be added. For example, a component might be usable in RHEL 6.1 "or later," implying RHEL 6.2, 6.3, ... (See the note above

entitled "About Linux OS Release Streams.")

* A solid circle in a cell represents usable functionality with the combination of OS release shown in the column header and the

component, using drivers that are part of the distribution.

* A blank cell represents absence of functionality with default drivers. This does not mean that the component is necessarily useless--

you may have to download and possibly build a driver from another source, such as the component manufacturer's website or an

open source community site. Or, as mentioned, the support might have been added in a subsequent release in the same OS stream,

or an available update.

* A number represents a reference to a footnote. Footnotes are located at the bottom of the page.

products and services. Nothing herein should be construed as constituting an additional warranty. HP shall not be liable for technical
