Hardware and software compatibility matrix

As a best practice, use this version with HDM-1.30.15 and later versions. Some features have special requirements for the version, which will be explained in hREST User Guide.

hREST is only applicable to the published generic HDM versions and does not support customized HDM versions.

Upgrade restrictions and guidelines

None.

Hardware feature updates

In this manual, the models of all components have been simplified (for example, by removing prefixes and suffixes). For example, the memory model DDR4-2666-8G-1Rx8-R represents the following models that users might see: UN-DDR4-2666-8G-1Rx8-R, UN-DDR4-2666-8G-1Rx8-R-F, and UN-DDR4-2666-8G-1Rx8-R-S.

From version 1.09 to version 1.24

None.
