footnote 2 - Get the latest drivers and "HP Installer Kit for Linux - HP Driver CD for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 5" ISO images from http://www.hp.com/support/xw9300 (substitute correct
platform name); Select "download drivers and software"; Select OS; Select file to download. See also http://hp.com/support/linux_user_manual -> 'Install Guide for Red Hat Linux on HP Linux
Workstations'
footnote 3 - 285 NVS PCI card may be used alone or with another card. See instructions at http://hp.com/support/linux_user_manual -> 'Multi-Monitor Configurations on HP Linux Workstations'.
footnote 4 - Linux growisofs supports DVD+RW on Red Hat EL WS 3 or later. For drives that have the Lightscribe funtionality, the labeling functionality is not supported.
footnote 5 - We are offering the SLI Graphics Connector on the HPIKL (FreeDOS) configuration.
footnote 6 - Mixed hard drives are not offered on the preload. Use SATA or SCSI, not both. We do offer mixed drives on the HPIKL (FreeDos) configuration.
footnote 7 - Hardware RAID is not supported on Linux Systems and this includes the Promise SATA Raid Card, Onboard SATA Chipset Raid, Adaptec 2120S SCSI Raid Card, LSI 20320 A-R SCSI
Card, Onboard SCSI Chipset Raid. The Linux kernel, with built-in software RAID, provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good alternative to hardware-based RAID.
footnote 8 - The xw9300 is capable of supporting up to 4 SATA drives. The xw4300 can support up to 4 SATA drives, in order to support the 3rd and 4th SATA drive the customer will need the
Optical Bay Conversion Kit for each drive.
footnote 9 - Not orderable integrated into systems. Order AMO (After Market Only) kit.
footnote 10 - Keyboard/Mouse interface must be either PS2 or USB; mixing is not supported
This Month's Change Log: Will be offering Red Hat WS 4 U4 64bit preload on xw4300 xw4400 xw6200 xw6400 xw8200 xw8400 xw9300 xw9400 Please refer to the Release Notes
