Notice for Blu-ray optical drives If you installed a Blu-ray optical drive, note the following: Blu-ray movie playback As Blu-ray is a new format containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility and/or performance issues may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback on all systems is not guaranteed. In order for some Blu-ray titles to play, they may require a DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort digital connection and your display may require HDCP support. HD-DVD movies cannot be played on this workstation. Blu-ray movie playback compatibility and update Playing back Blu-ray HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) content such as commercially distributed Blu-ray HD movies requires a fully HDCP compliant path on your computer. The HDCP technology checks compliance of each component in the path from the content on the Blu-ray disc all the way to the display monitor, including but not limited to graphic cards and monitor adapters. HP Z Workstations have been designed with this in mind; nearly all configurations with currently available HP Professional Displays are compliant. Older HP xw4600 and xw9400 Workstation configurations may not have fully compliant paths based on the installed graphics card and display monitor; HP recommends confirming separately that you have a fully compliant system if commercial content playback is a requirement for your use. HDCP compatibility of your graphics card and monitor can be determined by checking the QuickSpecs at http://www.hp.com/go/productbulletin. For the best HDCP performance, HP recommends that you install the latest updates: 1. Blu-ray player firmware 2. Playback application patches 3. Graphics firmware and drivers (note that the Intel HD graphics family does not support Blu-ray movie playback on Windows XP nor on Linux.) Updates are located on the support web site for your specific product at http://www.hp.com/support/ workstations. ENWW Notice for Blu-ray optical drives 59
