6.17 Microsoft* Windows* Compatibility

The SE7501WV2 server board is compliant with the Hardware Design Guide v3.0.

The Hardware Design Guide (HDG) for a Windows* 2000 Server platform is intended for systems that are designed to work with Windows 2000 Server family class operating systems. Each specification classifies the systems further and has different requirements based on the intended usage for that system. For example, a server system used in small home/office environments has different requirements than one that is used for enterprise applications.

The SE7501WV2 server BIOS meets the applicable requirements as specified in version 3.0 of the HDG specification.
