Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Datacenter support
In October of 2006, Microsoft announced unlimited virtualization support with Windows Server
2003 R2 Datacenter. In support of this announcement, HP now offers Windows Server 2003 R2
Datacenter as a supported OS on the ProLiant server platforms listed in Table 1.

NOTE 6: The ROM for this ProLiant server supports the Microsoft® Emergency
Management Service console feature in Windows Server 2003.
NOTE 7: This System ROM upgrade is considered a critical fix and is required to
correct Issue 1 in Appendix B. HP strongly recommends immediate application of
required critical fixes. Neglecting to perform the required action could leave the
server in an unstable condition, which could potentially result in sub-optimal server
performance, server lockups or failures, ungraceful server shutdowns, hardware
damage or data corruption, or data loss. By disregarding this notification, the
customer accepts the risk of incurring future related events.
