1.2.1 Basic Installation 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.
1.2.1.1 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:
 Intel will provide and test operating system drivers for each of the server board’s
integrated controllers, provided that the controller vendor has a driver available upon
request. Vendors will not be required by Intel to develop drivers for operating systems
that they do not already support. This may limit the functionality of certain server board
integrated controllers.
 Intel will support customer issues that involve installation and/or functionality of operating
system with the server board’s integrated controllers only if a driver has been made
available.
 Intel will NOT provide support for issues related to use of any 3
rd
party expansion cards
or peripherals installed in the server system when an operating system that received
basic installation testing only is in use.
 Support is defined as assistance in root causing issues, and determining a customer
acceptable resolution to the issue associated with the operating system. The resolution
may include, but is not limited to on-board controller driver changes, engaging the
vendor for resolution, BIOS changes, firmware changes, or determining a customer
acceptable workaround for the issue.
1.2.2 I/O Expansion Card / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress Testing
I/O Expansion Card / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing is performed only on the most
current release of a supported operating system at the time of a given validation run. The I/O
Expansion Card / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing process consists of three areas:
Base Platform, I/O Expansion Card Compatibility, and Stress.
Base Platform: Each base platform will successfully install a given operating system,
successfully run a disk stress test, and successfully run a network stress test.
