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.
