Attention
Changing the preloaded software configuration of this product, including
applying or installing unauthorized service packs or updates to preinstalled
software, or installing additional software products that are not included in
either the preloaded image or on the Supplementary CD, might not be
supported and could cause unpredictable results. For updated compatibility
