3. Supported Operating Systems & Software
The following table provides a list of the operating systems and software applications that Intel
plans to test with the Intel® Compute Module MFS5000SI and MFS5520VI. Each of the listed
operating systems was tested for compatibility with the base system configuration listed in
Section 2 of this document. Operating systems are supported only with the specified base
system configuration(s) with which they were tested.
The following table also indicates whether each operating system received Basic Installation
Testing, or Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress Testing. For information on the
support commitments for Basic Installation Testing vs. Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and
Stress Testing, please reference Section 1 of this document.
Any variations to the standard operating system installation processes are documented in the
Installation Guidelines section of this document. If no installation guidelines are noted in the
following table, then the operating system installed as expected using manufacturer’s
installation instructions or Intel’s best-known methods.

Operating systems supported by Intel® System Management Software may be

different than the operating systems supported by the Intel® Compute Module
MFS5000SI or MFS5520VI. Please reference the Readme and User Guide
documents that are included as part of the Intel System Management Software
distribution for operating systems that are supported by that release.
