Identifying the Kayak XW Series U3 and W3 PC Workstation
Identifying the Kayak XW Series U3 and W3
PC Workstation
How can I distinguish an HP Kayak XW PC Workstation Series
U3 or W3 from any previous XW platforms?
There are two simple and quick ways to identify the model.
First, check the Support label on the back or side of the PC.
Secondly, check the front panel. The XW Series U3 and W3
front panel includes the HP LCD status panel.
The following is an example of a support label showing exact locations of the
Series identifier.

It should be noted that identifying a video controller is not sufficient to
identify the HP Kayak XW model. The following table shows the differences
between the various platforms and the associated video controller.
