SUSE YES Certified for the following products:
Operating Systems:

SUSE® LINUX Enterprise Server 10 for AMD64 & Intel64 Service Pack 3 for SUSE® SLES 10

Product Description
The LS42 blade server offers an energy-efficient design along with low-voltage processors, integrated memory controller and available solid-state drives to help keep power consumption down and reduce cooling demands in your data center. When workloads demand more performance, this blade server is ready to scale to four processors with the addition of a multi-processor expansion unit (MPE). Simply snap the MPE to the original blade and it becomes a 4-processor, 60 mm blade server with the additional performance you need.
