Caveat Upgrader

There are two categories of Liquid Silver users who will need to follow separate upgrade instructions to

prepare their systems for a Liquid Silver v5.6 installation:

1. Customers using HP xw6000 have to upgrade to Windows XP Professional

2. Customers using the Compaq Evo W8000 workstation or legacy systems (3 height units

chassis and 5 height units chassis with ASUS CUV4X-DLS main board) must not upgrade to

Windows XP. These systems do not fully support Windows XP!

3. Customers with other systems than the above mentioned also should not upgrade to

Windows XP! These systems are very likely not fully supporting Microsoft Windows XP.

Please read the general information related to Liquid Silver workstations as well as the information

specific to your system’s upgrade requirements.

Introduction

This document is designed to help a Liquid Silver v4.0x customer upgrading to Liquid Silver v5.60.

workstation.
