4.4.4 Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List

It is possible to use third-party hardware instead of Kofax certified models even these servers have to meet

all of the Microsoft Windows Logo requirements. (Only listed servers are supported!) There will be no

support for servers assembled from HCL components!

Before you check the Microsoft web site for further information let‟s have a look to “how to figure out the

exact server name”. The server manufacturers have all different methods to label their machines. Often it is

hard to figure out the exact model or version of a model. This is due to the fact that not all companies show

the model name on their different technical equipment.

E.g.: The HP “ProLiant DL360” can be found as generic type as well as in different technical equipment

versions like “ProLiant DL360 6/1GHz-256Kb (2P)”. So we recommend that you figure out the exact version

and you should use only this one to check in the database.

The Microsoft hardware compatibility is a web based database and can be found under

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/. The outfit changes from time to time but (hopefully) the address should

be the same.

Compatibility with Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2012 operation systems can be checked on the

following web site: http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/.
