extensive verification by HP. See the Hardware Support Matrix for HP Linux Workstations at

Workstations.
NOTE: Not all graphics cards are available on every workstation. Limitations generally occur for cards
that consume large amounts of power in lower-power workstations.
Proprietary graphics drivers that are supported by HP and the graphics vendors are available with the
HP Linux Installer Kit, with the SLED 11 preload on the xw4600 and
Support at http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport.
These proprietary drivers are not a standard part of the RHEL, SLED, or SLES distributions because
they are not open source. More recent drivers are supported directly by the vendor.

System RAM

HP supports different amounts of total RAM in various HP Workstations based on the number of
hardware DIMM slots and the capabilities of the system. The total memory supported for each
configuration is listed in the Hardware Support Matrix for HP Linux Workstations at
