Intel® Server Boards S5000PSL/S5000XSL, Intel® Workstation Board S5000XVN, and Intel® Server System SC5400RA Adapters and Peripherals 4. Adapters and Peripherals Compatibility and stress testing for add-in adapter cards and peripherals is only performed with the latest version of an operating system available at the time the validation testing occurred. The following tables identify the operating system and base system configurations used to validate each device. The adapters are divided into categories based on their functionality. All integrated onboard devices are tested by default and are therefore not included in the following tables. All adapter cards were not tested under all operating systems. The following notation is used in the following table to indicate the support level that Intel provides for a particular adapter under a particular operating system: Number: This adapter or peripheral was tested and is supported under the specific configuration identified in the Base System Configurations table in Chapter 2. Number in brackets: This adapter or peripheral was tested, but is NOT supported under the specific configuration identified in the Base System Configurations table in Chapter 2 NT: This adapter or peripheral was not tested under this operating system and is not supported under this operating system. ND: This adapter or peripheral was not tested under this operating system due to limitations in IHV (Independent Hardware Vendors) driver availability, and is not suported under this operating system. SA (Similar Adapter): This adapter is supported, but not tested. This adapter model was not tested with this server board/workstation board, but Intel will support it based on successful testing of a similar adapter from the same adapter family. Intel has high confidence that this adapter will function correctly with the server board/ workstation board. This adapter uses the same firmware and drivers, and has a nearly identical system interface to another adapter of the same family that was successfully tested with this server board/workstation board. In addition, Intel has secured IHV commitment to support the similar adapters equally. Customers should always test adapters as part of the final system configuration prior to deployment. All installation guidelines for the tested adapter also apply to the similar adapter. Any variations to the standard adapter installation process or to the expected adapter functionality are documented in Chapter 6. If there are specific installation guidelines affecting a particular adapter and operating system combination, these are referenced in the following tables. If the installation guidelines are not noted in the following tables, it means that the adapter installed and functioned as expected using manufacturer's installation instructions or Intel's best-known methods. Testing of adapter cards is normally performed with unused add-in adapters and onboard controller expansion ROMs (Read-Only Memory) disabled in the BIOS setup. Intel recommends that customers disable the option ROM for addin controllers and/or the onboard controllers when not booting from the controller or needing to use its built-in utilities. 18 Revision 2.9
