-- Use server-class hardware to achieve the best results. Laptops and nested virtualization are not supported.
+- For best results, use [YES-certified hardware](https://www.suse.com/partners/ihv/yes/) for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15 SP3 or SP4. Harvester is built on SLE technology and YES-certified hardware has additional validation of driver and system board compatibility. Laptops and nested virtualization are not supported.
 - Each node must have a unique `product_uuid` (fetched from `/sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid`) to prevent errors from occurring during VM live migration and other operations. For more information, see [Issue #4025](https://github.com/harvester/harvester/issues/4025).
 - Harvester has a [built-in management cluster network](../networking/clusternetwork.md#built-in-cluster-network) (`mgmt`). To achieve high availability and the best performance in production environments, use at least two NICs in each node to set up a bonded NIC for the management network (see step 6 in [ISO Installation](../install/iso-install.md#installation-steps)). You can also create [custom cluster networks](../networking/clusternetwork.md#custom-cluster-network) for VM workloads. Each custom cluster network requires at least two additional NICs to set up a bonded NIC in every involved node of the Harvester cluster. The [witness node](../advanced/witness.md) does not require additional NICs. For more information, see [Cluster Network](../networking/clusternetwork.md#concepts).
 - During testing, you can use only one NIC for the [built-in management cluster network](../networking/clusternetwork.md#built-in-cluster-network) (`mgmt`), and for testing the [VM network](../networking/harvester-network.md#create-a-vm-network) that is also carried by `mgmt`. High availability and optimal performance are not guaranteed.
