This system was tested with 16.04 LTS, running the 4.4.0-15.31 kernel.

HP Dynamic Smart Array

System is certified with Dynamic Smart Array disabled.

To disable Dynamic Smart Array:

  • Press F9 to boot into RBSU

  • Navigate to System Options -> HP Dynamic Smart Array B320i and select disable

  • Go to System options -> SATA Controller options and select Legacy SATA or AHCI

  • Reboot the machine and now you will be able to install the OS.

This system was tested with a Pre-Release version of Ubuntu.

This certification is considered valid only for 60 days after this Ubuntu Release and must be re-tested with the GA release of Ubuntu to be considered permanently certified.

  • ILO firmware version 2.30 will not work with MAAS. To use this system in a MAAS environment you will need to update to the latest ILO firmware (greater than version 2.30).

  • If you are using ILO 2.20 or older, you are not affected by this issue. Please refer to HP for more information on updating ILO firmware.
