*MB = 1024^2 bytes; GB = 1024^3, and TB=1024^4
†MB=1000^2; GB=1000^3; TB=1000^4
‡Available disk space is the free disk space on the partition that will contain the system files. Additional space is required to copy the
Windows Server 2012 DVD contents to the disk during installation. Computers with more than 16 GB of RAM require more disk space
for paging and dump files. In addition, if using a logical drive for booting, it must be less than 2 TB.
Recommended ProLiant servers
Table 2 lists the ProLiant servers and minimum ROM version that we tested with Windows Server 2012. We recommend
that you use these listed, recommended ProLiant servers as platforms for Windows Server 2012.
You can download ROM updates from the HP Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP), which is available at hp.com/go/spp or the
HP Support Center at hp.com/go/support.
