3.1 Operating System Certifications

Listed below are the operating systems that Intel plans to certify with the Intel® Compute

Module MFS5000SI. However, the customer is responsible for their own certification from the

individual operating system vendors. In many cases, the customer may leverage their operating

system certifications from Intel’s testing. See the “Comments” section next to each operating

system in the table below for additional information. Intel’s certifications, pre-certification, and

operating system testing may help reduce some of the risk in achieving customer certifications

with the operating system vendors.
