Adapters and Peripherals

4.Adapters and Peripherals

Add-in adapter card and peripheral compatibility and stress testing will only be performed with the latest version of an operating system at the time the validation testing occurred. The following table shows the operating system and base system configurations used to validate each device. The adapters are divided into categories based on their functionality. All integrated on-board devices are tested by default and are therefore not included in the following tables.

Note that not all adapter cards were tested under all operating systems. The following notation is used in the tested adapters and peripherals table below to indicate the support level that Intel provides for a particular adapter under a particular operating system:

		This adapter or peripheral has been tested and is supported under the specific
	Number (i.e. 1)	configuration identified in the Base System Configurations Table in Section 2 of this
		document.

		This adapter or peripheral has been tested, but is NOT supported under the specific
	Number in brackets (i.e. [1])	configuration identified in the Base System Configurations Table in Section 2 of this
		document.

	NT	This adapter or peripheral has not been tested under this operating system and is not
	NT	supported under this operating system.
		supported under this operating system.

	ND	This adapter or peripheral has not been tested under this operating system due to
	ND	limitations in IHV driver availability, and is not suported under this operating system.


		This adapter is supported, but not tested. This adapter model has not been tested
		with this server board, but Intel will support it based on successful testing of a similar
		adapter from the same adapter family. Intel has high confidence that this adapter will
		function correctly with the server board. This adapter uses the same firmware and
	SA (Similar Adapter)	drivers, and has a nearly identical system interface to another adapter of the same
		family that has been successfully tested with this server board. In addition, Intel has
		secured IHV commitment to support the similar adapters equally. Customers should
		always test adapters as part of the final system configuration prior to deployment. All
		installation guidelines for the tested adapter also apply to the similar adapter.

Any variations to the standard adapter installation process or to expected adapter functionality are documented in the Installation Guidelines section of this document. If there are installation guidelines affecting a particular adapter and operating system combination, these are referenced in the following table. If there are no installation guidelines noted in the following table, then the adapter installed and functioned as expected using manufacturer’s installation instructions or Intel’s best-known methods.

Testing of adapters cards normally is performed with unused add-in adapters and onboard controller expansion ROMs disabled in BIOS Setup. Intel recommends that customers disable the option ROM for add-in controllers and/or the on-board controllers when not booting from the controller or needing to use its built in utilities.
