5.Hard Disk Drives

The hard drives listed in the following table have been tested with the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25 / MFSYS35 by Intel validation labs and/or by individual drive vendors. The following operating system identifiers are used in the table to specify which operating system each drive was tested under.

Not all hard drives were tested under all operating systems. The following notation is used in the tested hard drives table below to indicate the support level that Intel provides for a particular hard drive with a particular operating system:

Number (i.e. 1)

This hard drive has been tested and is supported under the operating system

identified by the operating system identification number.

 

 

 

Number in brackets (i.e. [1])

This hard drive has been tested, but is NOT supported under the operating system

identified by the operating system identification number.

 

 

 

 

The hard disk drive is supported, but not tested. This hard drive model/capacity has

 

not been tested with this server board, but Intel will support it based on successful

 

testing of a larger capacity hard drive from the same hard drive family. Intel has high

 

confidence that this hard drive will function correctly with the server board. This drive

 

uses the exact same firmware and drivers as a larger capacity hard drive that has

SD (Similar Drive)

been successfully tested with this server board. The only difference between this

drive and the one that was used in testing is the storage capacity. Intel provides the

 

 

same level of support for all hard drives listed in this document, regardless of whether

 

the drive was tested or not. Customers should always test hard drives as part of the

 

final system configuration prior to deployment. Given the fact that a larger capacity

 

hard drive from the same drive family has successfully completed testing on this

 

server board, this particular hard drive capacity point will not be tested.

 

 

 

The hard disk drive was tested according to Intel-approved guidelines and test

IHVT (IHV Tested)

procedures by the Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) that manufactured the drive.

Intel provides the same level of support for all hard drives listed in this document,

 

 

regardless of whether the drive was tested in an Intel lab or not. IHV test reports
