Linux-enabled workstations

Linux-enabled workstations do not have Linux preinstalled, nor do they include installation media for a
Linux distribution. To install Linux, you must have the installation binary set for a Linux distribution (CD
or DVD media, or a version on your network), and the HP Installer Kit for Linux. The HP Installer kit
includes the HP CDs necessary to complete the installation of all versions of the distribution box set that
are supported by HP workstation hardware. See the Linux hardware support matrix at

http://www.hp.com/support/linux_hardware_matrix

 to determine which versions of are supported on

your workstation.

NOTE:

If you want to use the drivers available in the HP Installer kit with Linux distributions other than

RHEL, you must manually extract the drivers from the HP Driver CD and install them. HP does not test
the installation of these drivers on other Linux distributions, nor does HP support this type of operation.

Verifying hardware compatibility

To determine which Linux versions are supported on your HP workstation hardware:

1.

See 

http://www.hp.com/support/linux_hardware_matrix

2.

Select your HP workstation model.
