Red Hat Enterprise Linux™ WS 4 64-bit
HP Installer Kit for Linux (includes drivers for both 32-bit & 64-bit OS versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS4 and WS5)
Red Flag Linux v5 (available in China only)
Dual OS preload is not offered due to restrictions of licensing agreements.
Microsoft Windows 2000 is not supported on the new HP xw4600. Microsoft discontinued OEM sales of Windows 2000
on March 31, 2004. Tier 1 OEMs, such as HP, can no longer ship systems with this OS.
This is highly dependent on the specific application. Many 32-bit applications will run on 64-bit operating systems without
difficulty, but some have issues. HP recommends you check with your application provider for details.
Yes. Red Hat Enterprise WS 4 (available preinstalled) and the HP Installer Kit for Linux are available. HP also offers Red
Flag Linux 5 preinstalled for customers in China.
The HP Installer Kit for Linux is a set of HP provided CDs to be used in conjunction with a Red Hat Enterprise Linux
installation to complete your Linux workstation installation. The CDs in the HPIKL are:
• HP Driver CD for Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 4 and 5
This is a "post install" CD used at the end of a Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation that contains HP content for your Linux
workstation. Content provided includes:
• NVIDIA and ATI accelerated graphics drivers that have passed HP quality standards and are compatible with the
hardware platform and RHEL releases
• HP documentation links
• Additional hardware drivers provided by HP that are not part of the standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases
All content provided on this CD is compatible with RHEL WS 4 and RHEL WS 5.
• Red Hat Driver Disk—for a specific Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update
This is the"RED" CD and is not included in ALL versions of the HPIKL. It will be included with the HPIKL when a hardware
driver is required for the workstation platform that has not yet become a part of a standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux
release. The next subsequent update from Red Hat removes the need for this CD.
For information on how to use the HP Driver CD or the Red Hat Driver Disk, refer to the HP Linux Workstation user manual
at http://www.hp.com/support/linux_user_manual (See chapters 1-3).
No, you must obtain the Red Hat Box Set of your choice. The HP Installer Kit for Linux is a CD set to be used in
conjunction with a RHEL install and supports Red Hat Enterprise WS 4. Red Hat requires that you purchase Red Hat
Enterprise WS 4.
