NOTE Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V RC1 supports 16 physical processor cores. A maximum of four virtual processors can be assigned to a single guest OS. See the installation instruction section of this paper for steps on how to enable Hardware Data Execution Prevention and virtualization in the HP ROM for your server. Supported HP ProLiant servers Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V RC1 should successfully install and run on any ProLiant server listed in Table 4 when the server meets the recommended hardware configuration established by Microsoft or HP. However, it is not possible for HP engineers to test all hardware and software configurations during the early release phase of the OS. Listing a particular system or option as supported does not mean that all of the subsystems embedded in that system are fully tested or that all systems and options have undergone extensive functional testing. Carefully review this document for the recommended system configuration and possible issues you might encounter. Do not use this paper as your sole source of information. In addition to the websites mentioned throughout this paper, visit the Windows Server 2008 Home page: www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/default.mspx.
