Config Notes
- Graphics: Video driver used in testing was downloaded from http://www.hp.com/support/workstations. Video driver is not SolidDriver-compliant and requires installation of kernel source and development tools.
- System was tested with an Intel I210-T1 added as a second network adapter. The standard system configuration does not include the I210-T1 adapter.
- Power management: Hibernation/Suspend to Disk/ACPI S4 is NOT supported on this system.
- Power management: System/Processor does NOT support fan thermal scaling.
- Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameter was changed to 256 (crashkernel=512M-:256M) for kdump to function correctly.
