Note 1: Memory for the ProLiant DL590/64 must meet very tight specifications due
to timing requirements of the memory support chipset used in the server. All memory
used within the ProLiant DL590/64 must conform to those exact specifications. For
this reason, Compaq does not support transferring memory modules from other
non-Itanium platforms into the ProLiant DL590/64.
Supported Software
All Compaq support software and drivers that are supported for use on the ProLiant DL590/64
server are included on the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 for IPF CD-ROM set (Compaq part
number 267140-001).
Future updates to Compaq support software will be provided for download at
