Hot Plug RAID Memory Operating System Support

Software support is an integral part of Hot Plug RAID Memory. HP, in partnership
with operating system vendors and the Linux open source community, has developed
Hot Plug RAID Memory software support for the ProLiant DL760 G2 server.

HP provides a hot-plug memory driver for each of the supported operating systems,
as well as embedded functionality in the ProLiant DL760 G2 server. Hot-replace
functionality is available natively in the server, while hot-add and hot-upgrade
functionality require installation of the hot-plug memory driver. Operating system
vendors may also provide enhanced functionality in their operating systems to enable
the detection of added or upgraded memory without a reboot. For current information
on Hot Plug RAID Memory support for your operating system, refer to the Operating
System Support for Hot Plug RAID Memory
white paper available on the HP website:

www.hp.com

Hot-plug memory drivers are provided on the SmartStart CD and the HP website:

www.hp.com

ProLiant Support Packs are available on SmartStart CD or on the HP website.

Supported operating systems include:

• Microsoft Windows 2000 (supports hot-replace only)
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003
