HP recommends Windows Vista Business
®
HP has very strong relationships with independent software vendors (ISVs). The software vendors recognize that HP is a
critical ally in the industry, not only as a hardware OEM, but in marketing and support relationships. HP, in some cases,
has engineering personnel located full-time onsite at these software vendors' locations providing technical support,
application performance tuning and graphics driver optimization.
ISV certification is a critical aspect of the workstation value proposition. Workstation users are running very complicated,
high-end, technical applications and reliability and stability are an absolute requirement. The entry workstation is targeted
at specific technical applications. The following table outlines the applications that are planned for the HP xw4600.
Some of the applications listed in the table do not certify hardware, but they are listed as "targeted" applications. For
those applications listed above that do offer hardware certification, the new entry workstation will be certified.

• Padlock support—standard; padlock loop in rear of chassis
• HP Solenoid Hood Lock/Sensor Kit—optional electro-mechanical lock that is activated through the manageability
software on the workstation. Instead of a physical key, the chassis is locked through a password by the local user or the
remote system administrator.
• Universal chassis clamp lock support—locks side cover and locks cables to chassis; secures chassis from theft and allows
multiple units to be chained together when used with optional cable
• Serial, parallel, USB enable/disable—enables or disables ports and hides them from the operating system
• Removable media write/boot control—prevents the computer from being booted from removable media on supported
devices; can disable writes to media
• Power-on password—prevents an unauthorized person from booting up the computer
• Setup password—prevents an unauthorized person from changing the system configuration
• Kensington Cable Lock (optional)
• Internal USB port—prevents theft of ISV application keys
