But we always received a warning said it was a unknown parameter during "grompp" in GROMACS V4.0.7 on LINUX. I also tried it by GROMACS V4.5.4 on my MAC OS, it was done successfully. Unfortunately, our HPC uses GROMACS V4.0.7, so it is a problem for us.

Functionality changes from version to version, and you are observing 
that here.

Install a more recent version. It's (much) less than an hour's work for 
an experienced sysadmin, and runs faster as well.
