footnote 5 - Mixed hard drives are not offered on the preload. Use SATA or SCSI, not both. We do offer mixed drives on the HPIKL (FreeDos) configuration.
footnote 6 - Hardware RAID is not supported on Linux systems; this includes the Promise SATA RAID Card, Onboard SATA Chipset RAID, Adaptec 2120S SCSI RAID Card,
LSI 20320 A-R SCSI Card, Onboard SCSI Chipset RAID. The Linux kernel, with built-in software RAID, provides excellent functiona
lity and performance. It is a good alternative to hardware-
based RAID.
footnote 7 - The xw4300 can support up to 4 SATA drives. In order to support the 3rd and 4th SATA drives, the customer needs the Optical Bay Conversion Kit for each drive.
This Month's Change Log: Will be offering Red Hat WS 4 U4 64bit preload on xw4300, xw4400, xw6200, xw6400, xw8200, xw8400, xw9300, xw9400.
Please refer to the Release Notes Chapter in http://www.hp.com/support/linux_user_manual.
