PLEASE NOTE: Minimum support includes all future updates of the indicated release unless a maximum is listed. (Example: SLES 12 implies support for SLES12.x, unless it's specifically called out in the notes as "not supported with 12.x")

If you prefer using distribution-provided drivers, you need not wait for the release of an SPP supporting the latest update/Service Pack of the distribution, provided there is no new hardware being deployed. You may safely apply the latest SPP(non-driver components) and be assured of support from HPE.
