Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List

Now it is possible to use third-party hardware instead of Kofax certified models even these servers have to
meet all of the Microsoft Windows Logo requirements. (Only listed servers are supported!) There will be no

support for servers assembled from HCL components!

Before you check the Microsoft web site for further information let‟s have a look to “how to figure out the
exact server name”. The server manufacturers have all different methods to label their machines. Often it is
hard to figure out the exact model or version of a model. This is due to the fact that not all companies show

the model name on their different technical equipment.

E.g.: The HP

“ProLiant DL360” can be found as generic type as well as in different technical equipment

versions like “ProLiant DL360 6/1GHz-256Kb (2P)”. So we recommend that you figure out the exact version
and you should use only this one to check in the database.

The Microsoft hardware compatibility is a web based database and can be found under

http://www.microsoft.com/hcl/

. The outfit changes from time to time but (hopefully) the address should be

the same.

Compatibility with Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 operation systems can be checked on

the following web site:
