Hyper-Threading support under Linux

Hyper-Threading support is part of the summit kernel. Once the kernel has been installed and compiled, and you enable Hype-Threading support in the BIOS, Red Hat Linux Advanced Server will recognize all your physical and virtual CPUs.

RXE-100 support under Linux

Once the summit kernel is installed and configured, you have access to your RXE-100 and adapters added to the external enclosure.

Note: Attach your RXE-100 to x440 server after the installation of Red Hat Linux Advanced Server. Also currently only the first six PCI slots are supported under Red Hat Linux.
