---+ End Of Life (EOL) Dates for the HP3000 server line

On November 15, 2001, Hewlett-Packard announced that it was going to discontinue selling and supporting the HPe3000 line. Hardware sales would continue through December 31, 2003, and support will continue to be offered until December 31,2008. After this time HP expects all their (former) HPe3000 customers to have migrated to another platform, or to have made their own arrangements about continued supportability.
