3.1 Operating System Certifications 
Listed below are the operating systems that Intel will certify with the Intel® server board 
SE7520BD2/ SE7520BD2D2.  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.
