The netserver/lm is an Intel Pentium 60mhz based server with optional raid
disks. Has onboard scsi controllers. It should be able to run Linux provided
you have enough memory. It is one of the first HP netservers and is fairly slow
compared with what is available now. You probably could install one
of the Pentium upgrade chips and get a bit more speed.

HP NetServer LM Memory
Configuration

Subsections:
Memory Configuration Guidelines
Video Memory - DRAM
Memory Configuration Guidelines

The server supports 4 MB and 8 MB (70 ns or 80 ns) (no 60
ns SIMMs). NEC or Mitsubishi SIMMs can only be 70 ns.
For 16 MB and 32 MB SIMMs, speed must be 60 or 70 ns (no
80 ns SIMMs).
You must install memory modules in pairs (called banks) of
matching size and speed; however, the banks can be of
different sizes and speeds.
If you install a pair of 16 MB or 32 MB memory modules, you
must move the jumper for the corresponding bank to the 2-3
position (Jumpers E0390, E0391, E0392).

Video Memory - DRAM

The video has 512 KB of RAM that allows pixel resolutions of 640 x
480 in 16 colors. You can upgrade the server from 512 KB to 1 MB
by installing four, 256 KB x 4 bit, 60 ns DRAMs in the four empty
DRAM sockets.

NOTE: Only DRAMs from certain manufacturers have been
tested for compatibility with the HP NetServer LM Series.
Hewlett-Packard does not supply the DRAM upgrade. Consult
the HP PC Bulletin Board Service at 1-408-553-3500 for a
current list of supported DRAM upgrades.
