Adapters and Peripherals Intel® Server Board SE7500CW2 4. Adapters and Peripherals Add-in adapter card and peripheral compatibility and stress testing will only be performed with the latest version of an operating system at the time the validation testing occurred. The following table shows the operating system and base 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. Note that not all adapter cards were tested under all operating systems. The following notation is used in the tested adapters and peripherals table below to indicate the support level that Intel provides for a particular adapter under a particular operating system: Number (i.e. 1) This adapter or peripheral has been tested and is supported under the specific configuration identified in the Base System Configurations Table in Section 2 of this document. This adapter or peripheral has been tested, but is NOT supported under the Number in brackets (i.e. [1]) specific configuration identified in the Base System Configurations Table in Section 2 of this document. NT This adapter or peripheral has not been tested under this operating system and is not supported under this operating system. ND This adapter or peripheral has not been tested under this operating system due to limitations in IHV driver availability, and is not suported under this operating system. Any variations to the standard adapter installation process or to expected adapter functionality are documented in the Installation Guidelines section of this document. If there are installation guidelines affecting a particular adapter and operating system combination, these are referenced in the following table. If there are no installation guidelines noted in the following table, then the adapter installed and functioned as expected using manufacturer's installation instructions or Intel's best-known methods. / Testing of adapters cards normally is performed with unused add-in adapters and onboard controller expansion ROMs disabled in BIOS Setup. Intel recommends that customers disable the option ROM for add-in controllers and/or the on-board controllers when not booting from the controller or needing to use its built in utilities. 6 Revision 1.50
