Intel

server board S3000AH Introduction

Revision 2.7

1. Introduction

This document is intended to provide users of the Intel

server board S3000AH with a guide to

the different operating systems, adapter cards, and peripherals tested by Intel on this platform.

This document will continue to be updated as new adapters, peripherals, and operating systems

are tested or until the Intel

server board S3000AH is no longer in production. Each new

release of the document will present updated information as well as continue to provide the

information from previous releases.

Intel will only provide support for those adapters and peripherals under the specified system

configuration (System BIOS and Firmware revisions) and operating systems versions with which

they were tested.

1.1 Test Overview

Testing performed on the Intel

server board S3000AH is classified under two separate

categories: Basic Installation Testing, and Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress

Testing.

1.1.1 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 add-in adapter 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.

1.1.1.1 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.
