1. Introduction This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® Modular Server System
MFSYS25/MFSYS35, Intel® Compute Module MFS5000SI and Intel® Compute Module
MFS5520VI with a guide to the different operating systems, expansion cards, and peripherals
Intel plans to test on this platform.
This document will continue to be updated as new expansion cards, peripherals, and operating
systems are tested or until the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35, Intel®
Compute Module MFS5000SI and Intel® Compute Module MFS5520VI are no longer in
production. Each new release of the document will present updated information as well as
continue to provide the information from previous releases.
Intel will only provide support for those expansion cards and peripherals under the specified
system configuration (System BIOS and Firmware revisions) and operating systems versions
with which they were tested.
1.1 Test Overview
Testing performed on the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35, Intel® Compute
Module MFS5000SI and Intel® Compute Module MFS5520VI is classified under two separate
categories: Basic Installation Testing, and Expansion Card/ Peripheral Compatibility and Stress
Testing.
1.1.1 Basic Installati on Testing
Basic installation testing is performed with each supported operating system. Basic installation
testing validates that the server board can install the operating system and that the base
hardware feature set is functional. A small set of peripherals is used for installation purposes
only. No expansion cards are tested. Testing includes network connectivity and running of
proprietary and industry standard test suites.
The latest version of an operating system signifies the latest supported version
at the time of the actual test run. Each new release of this document may have
a newly supported release of a given operating system. Previous releases of a
supported operating system may not be tested beyond the basic installation
test process.
1.1.1.1 Support Commitment for Basic Installation Testing
Intel commits to provide the following level of customer support for operating systems that
receive only basic installation testing:
