General Notes that apply to all Platforms
Purpose of the Linux Hardware Matrix
The HP Workstations Linux Hardware Matrix provides per-platform advisory information about the functionality of HP workstation desktops, and
the hardware components applicable to them, under several Linux distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise
Desktop (SLED), and Ubuntu LTS.
For similar information about Linux component support in older HP Workstations, please refer to the Archive Linux Hardware Matrix. You can find
this by searching for the platform at www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport and choosing the Manuals content.
The Linux Hardware Matrix does not represent the issue support that you can expect from the Linux OS distributor. Please see
the section below entitled "Important Information about OS Support."
About Linux OS Release Streams
As technology advances, newer releases of Linux distributions are more likely to have sufficient support for new hardware (processors and
chipset architectures, storage controllers, etc.) than are older releases in the same streams.
The Linux Hardware Matrix shows information for releases that provide reasonably complete functionality for the platform and components,
using drivers that are part of the distribution, unless noted to the contrary. The releases shown are typically the most current at the time that the
platform was launched, but in some cases an already-existing release may provide good functionality.
It is advisable to apply the distributor's most recent maintenance updates in order to get defect and security fixes (and in some cases, additional
hardware enablement).
Important Information about OS Support
Distributors of enterprise-class Linux releases have certification processes that verify that a particular platform is functional and supportable.
Most distributors will not support issues that arise on non-certified platforms. Therefore, it is important that you consult the vendor's
certification website to verify certification for the OS release you are planning to use. Here are the sites for distributions covered in this document:
SUSE: https://www.suse.com/yessearch/Search.jsp
Red Hat: http://hardware.redhat.com
Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/desktop
How to Use this Document
Please remember that the general notes on this page apply to all platforms in this Linux Hardware Matrix. If you print out platform pages, be sure
to print this one also.
The platform-specific pages in this matrix are formatted as follows:
* The platform is identified at the top of the page. For some platforms, the original releases on which the platform was certified by Linux
distributors are noted. However, the Linux vendor certification site is always the authoritative source.
* Built-in (onboard) and optional components are listed in the left-hand column. This set of components initially represents what was listed as
available at the time the platform was launched. The list may be updated periodically as new options are added. However, it is not an
authoritative list of product options. Please see the platform specification (QuickSpecs), available at www.hp.com, for the most up-to-date list.
* One or more OS distribution columns are shown to the right of the components column. The headers of these columns identify the OSes for
which functionality has been evaluated by HP. In some cases, these columns have been updated since the platform was launched. Component
functionality is expected to be retained later in the same OS release stream, and some missing functionality might be added. For example, a
component might be usable in RHEL 6.1 "or later," implying RHEL 6.2, 6.3, ... (See the note above entitled "About Linux OS Release Streams.")
* A solid circle in a cell represents usable functionality with the combination of OS release shown in the column header and the component, using
drivers that are part of the distribution.
* A blank cell represents absence of functionality with default drivers. This does not mean that the component is necessarily useless--you may
have to download and possibly build a driver from another source, such as the component manufacturer's website or an open source community
site. Or, as mentioned, the support might have been added in a subsequent release in the same OS stream, or an available update.
* A number represents a reference to a footnote. Footnotes are located at the bottom of the page.

Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations
HP ZBook 17 G4 Mobile Workstation
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
At this time, there are no other supported Linux distributions for this mobile workstation.
When additional updates are ready, additional columns for supported releases will be added to this document.
footnote 1 - Typical Linux distributions support many possible localizations. If you're installing the OS yourself, you can make selections for language and keyboard layout during that
process. For a pre-loaded Linux OS, similar choices can be made during the "firstboot" process. In some cases, extra font packages may be available. HP Workstations can be ordered
with a variety of localization options that may vary by platform.
RHEL 7 certifications pending.
As of this edition of this matrix, some Enterprise-class Linux releases enable the Intel architecture used in this system.
HP considers enablement for the CPU, chipset, and the on-board LAN to be minimum requirements.
footnote 9 - The Thunderbolt dock is compatible with RHEL 7 on this zbook model, starting with RHEL 7.3.
footnote 10 - The Thunderbolt dock is compatible with Ubuntu 16.04, starting with 16.04.1. The one known limitation is that the audio headphone jack does not work.
footnote 11 - With Nvidia-based configurations, it is recommended to use the Nvidia closed source driver when using externally connected displays. It is not currently recommended to
use the dock with AMD graphics options at this time.
footnote 3 - Newer Linux kernels may provide device functionality through the Thunderbolt ports. Such kernels are likely to be available in leading-edge distributions, but inclusion of
the support with any Enterprise Linux distribution is at the distributor's discretion.
footnote 4 - Support for the TPM or other security devices varies by OS distribution.
footnote 5 - The Intel HD graphics works with the in-box frame-buffer drivers. Support for the "native" Intel driver on v7 processors (Kaby lake) is not available for most release streams
as of this edition of the table.
footnote 6 - HP recommends use of Nvidia driver 375.66 (or newer) on Nvidia graphics options.
footnote 7 - As of this edition of the table, only basic touch capability was available in most Linux desktop managers and no desktops are optimized for a satisfactory touch experience.
footnote 8 - SED drives work with Linux. There is, however, no Linux support available for manipulating encryption settings via the Opal API.

process. For a pre-loaded Linux OS, similar choices can be made during the "firstboot" process. In some cases, extra font packages may be available. HP Workstations can be ordered with
a variety of localization options that may vary by platform.
footnote 9 - The Thunderbolt dock is compatible with RHEL 7 on this zbook model, starting with RHEL 7.3.
footnote 10 - The Thunderbolt dock is compatible with Ubuntu 16.04, starting with 16.04.1. The one known limitation is that the audio headphone jack does not work.
footnote 11 - With Nvidia-based configurations, it is recommended to use the Nvidia closed source driver when using externally connected displays.
footnote 12 - The Touchpad requires a post RHEL 7.3 z-stream update. A simple work-around can also be used in lieu of the z-stream fix by adding the boot option
'module_blacklist=i2c-hid' to the boot command line.
footnote 3 - Newer Linux kernels may provide device functionality through the Thunderbolt module. Such kernels are likely to be available in leading-edge distributions, but inclusion of
the support with any Enterprise Linux distribution is at the distributor's discretion.
footnote 4 - Support for the TPM or other security devices varies by OS distribution.
footnote 5 - The Intel HD graphics works with the in-box frame-buffer drivers. Support for the "native" Intel driver on v7 processors (Kabylake) is not available for most release streams
as of this edition of the table.
footnote 6 - HP recommends use of Nvidia driver 375.66 (or newer) on Nvidia graphics options.
footnote 7 - As of this edition of the table, only basic touch capability was available in most Linux desktops and no desktops are optimized for a satisfactory touch experience.
footnote 8 - SED drives work with Linux. There is, however, no Linux support available for manipulating encryption settings via the Opal API.

footnote 9 - As of this edition, the docking station has not been tested for compatibility with Linux distributions. The supported state of the various I/O ports will be updated as new information becomes available over time.
At this time, there are no other supported Linux distributions for this mobile workstation. Evaluation and testing are underway on and Ubuntu 14.04. When additional updates are ready,
additional columns for supported releases will be added to this document.
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
RHEL 7 certifications pending. RHEL 6 certifications unlikely.
As of this edition of this matrix, some Enterprise-class Linux releases enable the Intel architecture used in this system.
HP considers enablement for the CPU, chipset, and the on-board LAN to be minimum requirements.
footnote 1 - Typical Linux distributions support many possible localizations. If you're installing the OS yourself, you can make selections for language and keyboard layout during that process. For a pre-loaded Linux OS,
similar choices can be made during the "firstboot" process. In some cases, extra font packages may be available. HP Workstations can be ordered with a variety of localization options that may vary by platform.
footnote 2 - Hardware RAID is not supported on SATA drives. Software RAID is available in most Linux OSes and can be used with SATA or PCIe storage devices. Software RAID may not support RAID of the boot volume.
footnote 3 - Newer Linux kernels may provide device functionality through the Thunderbolt module. Such kernels are likely to be available in leading-edge distributions, but inclusion of the support with any Enterprise Linux
distribution is at the distributor's discretion.
footnote 4 - Support for the TPM or other security devices varies by OS distribution.
footnote 5 - The Intel HD graphics works with the in-box frame-buffer drivers. Support for the "native" Intel driver on v5 processors (Skylake) is not available for most release streams as of this edition of the table.
footnote 7 - As of this edition of the table, only basic touch capability was available in most Linux desktops and no desktops are optimized for a satisfactory touch experience.
footnote 8 - SED drives work with Linux. There is, however, no Linux support available for manipulating encryption settings via the Opal API.
HP ZBook Studio G3 Mobile Workstation
footnote 12 - In order to install Ubuntu 16.04.1 on this graphics option, HP recommends that you change the graphics mode in BIOS to use the 'discrete' setting. You may also need to add 'nomodeset' to the boot line during
installation.
footnote 11 - Red Hat introduced a regression in RHEL 7.3 in which the Touchpad ceases to function. Adding the option “module_blacklist=i2c_hid” to the kernel boot line will work around this issue. Red Hat is working on an
errata to fix this issue prior to the release of 7.4.
footnote 10 - As of this edition, the Bluetooth functionality of this "combo" device has not been enabled in any tested distribution. However, the wireless LAN capability is functional.
footnote 6 - HP recommends use of NVIDIA driver 361.28 (or newer) for configurations with NVIDIA graphics.

footnote 12 - In general, single drives or volumes larger than 2.2 TB can only be fully accessed using GPT formatting. OSes listed can format GPT for the boot drive or volume but may
require installation of UEFI boot support, and can access GPT-formatted data volumes.
footnote 13 - Basic Linux Touch support requires very recent kernel (recommended 3.10 or greater) and X server versions for proper USB HID recognition and multi-touch event
translation. Robust gesture libraries, touch-aware display managers, and touch-capable applications will emerge with time for desktop distributions (but not at this time for enterprise
releases of SLED 11 SP3 or RHEL 6.5).
footnote 3 - Linux growisofs supports DVD+RW and Blu-ray media on the listed OSes.
footnote 4 - Hardware RAID is not supported on SATA drives.
footnote 5 - The Z1 G2 all-in-one can support up to two 2.5-inch SATA drives or one 3.5-inch SATA drive. It can also support mSATA devices in the mPCIe/mSATA slots.
footnote 6 - For more info about Linux driver support for HP printers, go to http://www.hplip.net.
footnote 7 - Hyperthreading is supported on all platforms when the processor allows it.
footnote 8 - Depending on the OS release, the kernel DRM and X.org "intel" driver may not support the Z1 G2 built-in display correctly.
footnote 9 - Depending on the OS release, the kernel ALSA driver may enable all audio functions; some earlier kernels enable headphones but not speakers.

Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations
Certified on RHEL 6.8, 7.2. Certified on SLED 11/SP4, 12/SP1. Currently no Ubuntu certifications planned.
As of this edition of this matrix, some Enterprise-class Linux releases enable the Intel architecture used in this system.
HP considers enablement for the CPU, chipset, and the on-board LAN to be minimum requirements.
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
footnote 1 - Typical Linux distributions support many possible localizations. If you're installing the OS yourself, you can make selections for language and keyboard layout during that process. For a pre-loaded Linux OS,
similar choices can be made during the "firstboot" process. In some cases, extra font packages may be available. HP Workstations can be ordered with a variety of localization options that may vary by platform.
footnote 2 - Get the latest drivers: "HP Installer Kit for Linux - HP Driver CD (or DVD) for
Linux-distribution-name " ISO images from http://www.hp.com/support. Select your language, choose Software and Drivers, type

footnote 4 - In general, single drives or volumes larger than 2.2 TB can only be fully accessed using GPT formatting. OSes listed can format GPT for the boot drive or volume but may require installation of UEFI boot support,
and can access GPT-formatted data volumes.
footnote 5 - The Z Turbo Drive G2 PCIe-attached storage device has its own controller and is supported by the standard nvme kernel module in supported OSes. Updates are needed for SLED11 SP4 and SLED12 SP1 to
operate with these NVME devices. Other NVME storage devices have similar requirements.
footnote 6 - Newer Linux kernels may provide device functionality through the Thunderbolt module. Such kernels are likely to be available in leading-edge distributions, but inclusion of the support with any Enterprise Linux
distribution is at the distributor's discretion. As an example, RHEL 7.2 enables more functionality than RHEL 7.1.
footnote 7 - Linux growisofs supports DVD+RW and Blu-ray media on the listed OSes.
footnote 8 - For more info about Linux driver support for HP printers, go to http://www.hplip.net.
footnote 9 - Support for the TPM or other security devices varies by OS distribution.
footnote 10 - An ALSA kernel "quirk" is required for the system built-in speaker to be usable. Not all listed distributions include it; some may provide it in an update.
footnote 11 - The Intel HD graphics works with the in-box frame-buffer drivers. Reliable behavior from the "native" Intel driver is not available for most release streams as of this edition of the table.
footnote 12 - HP recommends the following minimum NVIDIA driver versions for M4000 and M5000 (352.41); M2000 (361.45.11); P400, P600, P1000, P2000, and P4000 (375.39); and P5000 (367.57).
footnote 15 - The driver for the Aquantia Nbase-T AQN-108 aftermarket NIC is not in-box for most of the listed Linux streams. Driver source can be found at the Aquantia site www.aquantia.com/driver-download/.
footnote 13 - As of this edition of the table, only a few enterprise distributions have support for the Intel 8260 WLAN/BT combo device. Look for updates from the distributors.
footnote 14 - AMD Radeon Pro graphics cards are supported by the newer amdgpu-pro vendor driver. OS streams are supported at specific release version levels, starting with these: SLED 12 SP2, RHEL 6.8, RHEL 7.3,
Ubuntu 14.04.5, and Ubuntu 16.04.1. There is no amdgpu-pro driver for SLED 11.

Certified with SLED 11 SP3 and SLED 12 (NVIDIA graphics). Other certifications pending.
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
footnote 1 - Typical Linux distributions support many possible localizations. If you're installing the OS yourself, you can make selections for language and keyboard layout during that process. For a pre-loaded Linux OS, similar choices can
be made during the "firstboot" process. In some cases, extra font packages may be available.
footnote 2 - Get the latest drivers: "HP Installer Kit for Linux - HP Driver CD (or DVD) for Linux-distribution-name" ISO images from http://www.hp.com/support/z440. Under
Download options, select Get drivers, software & firmware. HP
Workstations can be ordered with a variety of localization options that may vary by platform. The default in-box graphics drivers (e.g., nouveau and radeon) may not always handle newer graphics cards correctly. In some cases, even OS
installation must be done using a "basic mode" or by specifying a frame-buffer driver (e.g., "xdriver=fbdev").
HP Z440 Workstation
footnote 3 - Hardware RAID is supported using the LSI 9217-4i4e (RAID 0/1/1E/10 SATA & SAS) and the LSI 9270-8i (RAID 0/1/5/6/10 SATA & SAS). SATA RAID is supported on sSATA ports(0/1/5/10 SATA only).
footnote 4 - In general, single drives or volumes larger than 2.2 TB can only be fully accessed using GPT formatting. OSes listed can format GPT for the boot drive or volume but may require installation of UEFI boot support, and can access
GPT-formatted data volumes.
footnote 5 - The Z Turbo Drive PCIe-attached storage device has its own controller and is supported by the standard ahci kernel module in supported OSes. Z Turbo Drive G2 is an NVME device and is supported by the kernel NVME module. Z
Turbo QuadPro is an enclosure for several NVME devices. Updates are needed for SLED11 SP4 and SLED12 SP1 to operate with these NVME devices. Other NVME storage devices have similar requirements.
footnote 12 - HP recommends the following minimum NVIDIA driver versions for M4000 and M5000 (352.41); M2000 (361.45.11); P400, P600, P1000, P2000, and P4000 (375.39); and P6000 (367.57).
footnote 13 - As of this edition of the table, only a few enterprise distributions have support for the Intel 8260 WLAN/BT combo device. Look for updates from the distributors.
footnote 17 -There are currently issues installing enterprise Linux distros on M.2 and Z turbo options when the operating system is booted by legacy BIOS method. HP recommends installing the system in UEFI boot setup when using these
storage devices.
footnote 6 - Newer Linux kernels may provide device functionality through the Thunderbolt module. Such kernels are likely to be available in leading-edge distributions, but inclusion of the support with any Enterprise Linux distribution is at
the distributor's discretion. For example, RHEL 7.2 is more capable than RHEL 7.1.
footnote 7 - Linux growisofs supports DVD+RW and Blu-ray media on the listed OSes.
footnote 8 - For more info about Linux driver support for HP printers, go to http://www.hplip.net.
footnote 10 - The TPM and Smartcard readers can be used with the addition of extra software packages which support operation of these devices.
footnote 11 - The NVIDIA K40 is a GPU-compute device without graphics. The base OS will more or less ignore it. To make use of this device, the proprietary driver must be installed. The minimum driver version for support of K40 is 319.72.
footnote 9 - SLED 11/SP3 requires an update kernel to operate this on-board network interface properly. Please check with SuSE support for the appropriate update.
footnote 14 - Correct operation with the "Broadwell" family of processors may require a later release of OS stream than the "Haswell" family. The following OS releases are known to be capable: SLED11 SP4, SLED12 SP1, RHEL 6.8, RHEL
7.2.
footnote 15 - AMD Radeon Pro graphics cards are supported by the newer amdgpu-pro vendor driver. OS streams are supported at specific release version levels, starting with these: SLED 12 SP2; RHEL 6.8; RHEL 7.3; Ubuntu 14.04.5;
Ubuntu 16.04.1. There is no amdgpu-pro driver for SLED 11.
footnote 16 -The driver for the Aquantia Nbase-T AQN-108 aftermarket NIC is not in-box for most of the listed Linux streams. Driver source can be found at the Aquantia site www.aquantia.com/driver-download/.

footnote 8 - For more info about Linux driver support for HP printers, go to http://www.hplip.net.
footnote 9 - SLED 11/SP3 requires an update kernel to operate this on-board network interface properly. Please check with SuSE support for the appropriate update.
footnote 3 - Hardware RAID is supported using the LSI 2308 SAS (RAID 0/1/1e SATA & SAS) and the LSI 9270-8i (RAID 0/1/5/6/10 SATA & SAS). SATA RAID is supported on sSATA ports(0/1/5/10 SATA only).
footnote 4 - In general, single drives or volumes larger than 2.2 TB can only be fully accessed using GPT formatting. OSes listed can format GPT for the boot drive or volume but may require installation of UEFI boot support, and can access GPT-formatted
data volumes.
footnote 5 - The Z Turbo Drive PCIe-attached storage device has its own controller and is supported by the standard ahci kernel module in supported OSes. Z Turbo Drive G2 is an NVME device and is supported by the kernel NVME module. Z Turbo QuadPro
is an enclosure for several NVME devices. Updates are needed for SLED11 SP4 and SLED12 SP1 to operate with these NVME devices. Other NVME storage devices have similar requirements.
footnote 6 - Newer Linux kernels may provide device functionality through the Thunderbolt module. Such kernels are likely to be available in leading-edge distributions, but inclusion of the support with any Enterprise Linux distribution is at the
distributor's discretion.
footnote 7 - Linux growisofs supports DVD+RW and Blu-ray media on the listed OSes.
footnote 1 - Typical Linux distributions support many possible localizations. If you're installing the OS yourself, you can make selections for language and keyboard layout during that process. For a pre-loaded Linux OS, similar choices can be made during
the "firstboot" process. In some cases, extra font packages may be available.
footnote 2 - Get the latest drivers: "HP Installer Kit for Linux - HP Driver CD (or DVD) for Linux-distribution-name" ISO images from http://www.hp.com/support/z840. Under
Download options, select Get drivers, software & firmware
. HP Workstations can
be ordered with a variety of localization options that may vary by platform. The default in-box graphics drivers (e.g., nouveau and radeon) may not always handle newer graphics cards correctly. In some cases, even OS installation must be done using a
"basic mode" or by specifying a frame-buffer driver (e.g., "xdriver=fbdev").

Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations
HP Z200 CMT Workstation
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
footnote 1 - HP systems can usually be ordered with a localization that affects documentation, keyboards, and other components. Typical Linux distributions are not installed as pre-localized,
but the user can choose a language and keyboard layout during post-installation configuration, or during the "first boot" when the OS comes preloaded on the system.
footnote 2 - Get the latest drivers, "HP Installer Kit for Linux - HP Driver CD for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4", and "HP Installer Kit for Linux - HP Driver CD for SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11"
ISO images from http://www.hp.com/support/z200. Under Download options, select Get drivers, software & firmware.
footnote 3 - Linux growisofs supports DVD+RW and Blu-ray media on Red Hat EL 5 Desktop or later and SLED11 or later. For drives that have the Lightscribe functionality, go to
www.lightscribe.com for software to enable the labeling feature.
footnote 4 - Hardware RAID is not supported on SATA drives.
footnote 5 - The Z200 can support up to 3 SATA drives.
footnote 6 - For more info about Linux driver support for HP printers, go to http://www.hplip.net.

Linux Hardware Matrix for HP Workstations
Originally certified with SLED 11 SP3 (x86_64), RHEL 6.5 (x86_64). Also cerfified with RHEL 7.0.
This page is not complete without the General Notes (first page of the matrix).
footnote 1 - HP systems can usually be ordered with a localization that affects documentation, keyboards, and other components. Typical Linux distributions are not installed as pre-
localized, but the user can choose a language and keyboard layout during post-installation configuration, or during the "first boot" when the OS comes preloaded on the system.
footnote 2 - Get the latest drivers: "HP Installer Kit for Linux - HP Driver CD (or DVD) for Linux-distribution-name" ISO images from http://www.hp.com/support. Select your language, choose
Software and Drivers
, type z230 in the Enter my HP model number field, select Find my product, and then select HP Z230 Tower Workstation from the results. Under Download options

select
Get drivers, software & firmware. HP Workstations can be ordered with a variety of localization options that may vary by platform.
HP Z230 Tower Workstation
footnote 3 - Linux growisofs supports DVD+RW and Blu-ray media on the listed OSes. For drives that have the Lightscribe functionality, go to www.lightscribe.com for software to enable the
labeling feature.
footnote 4 - Hardware RAID is not supported on SATA drives. Software RAID is available in most Linux OSes.
footnote 5 - The Z230 Tower can support up to 3 SATA drives.
footnote 11 - Support for this device is available in updates from SUSE or from the HP Installer Kit for Linux disk image (see footnote 2).
footnote 6 - For more info about Linux driver support for HP printers, go to http://www.hplip.net.
footnote 7 - In general, single drives or volumes larger than 2.2TB can only be fully accessed using GPT formatting. Newer Linux OSes can format GPT for the boot drive or volume but may
require installation of UEFI boot support. OSes listed can all access GPT-formatted volumes.
footnote 8 - Depending on the OS release, the kernel DRM and X.org "Intel" driver may not support the Intel graphics correctly.
footnote 9 - Newer Linux kernels may provide device functionality through the Thunderbolt module. Such kernels are likely to be available in leading-edge distributions, but inclusion of the
support with any Enterprise Linux distribution is at the distributor's discretion. For example, neither SLED 11 SP3 nor RHEL 6.5 incorporates significant Thunderbolt support.
footnote 10 - The Z Turbo Drive PCIe-attached storage device has its own controller and is supported by the standard ahci kernel module in supported OSes.
