Well, it is certified by HP to run on this server. The only exception is the Data Centre edition.

I used to have an LD Pro with dual P200's. I had w2k advanced server installed on that box. In order to get full video you will have to disable the on-board video and install a PCI video card. Hope this helps and good luck.

If you updated the BIOS(version later than "4.05.16" 6/10/98),you are able to installe the Windows 2000 on LD pro appropriately with normal installation procedure.

There is a related issue list as follows:
Windows Device Manager will show a yellow warning (!) icon next to Trident Video Accelerator.

There are no video drivers supported under Windows Â® 2000 server and Windows Â® 2000 Advance server for the Trident 9000I 512 K video chipset. The HP Netserver LH Pro, LD Pro, and LH II integrated video chip is a Trident 9000i with only 512 Kb of video memory. With this limited amount of video memory, the best possible video resolution will be 800 x 600 with 16 colors.

Run the server in VGA mode and ignore the yellow (!) reported by device manager; OR
Replace the existing driver with a supported video controller. Check the Microsoft Â® Windows 2000 HCL Web site for supported video controller inform
