Booting the server loads the operating system, which is essential for running all other programs.
You can only run one operating system on the server at one time.
The HP-UX 11i version 1 (and higher HP-UX versions that support PA-RISC systems) is supported on the
server.
NOTE
HP-UX is the only supported operating system for single-core processors.
