References to AIX and Linux Operating Systems

This document contains references to the AIX® and Linux operating system. If you are using another operating system, consult the appropriate documentation for that operating system.

This document may describe hardware features and functions. While the hardware supports them, the realization of these features and functions depends upon support from the operating system. AIX and Linux provide this support. If you are using another operating system, consult the appropriate documentation for that operating system regarding support for those features and functions.
