Intel MFS5000SI Benutzerhandbuch

I/O Expansion 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 system configurations used to validate 
each device.  The expansion cards and peripherals are divided into categories based on their 
functionality.  All integrated on-board devices are tested by default and are therefore not 
included in the following tables. 

Note that not all expansion cards or peripherals 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 expansion card 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. 

Number in brackets (i.e. [1]) 

This expansion card or peripheral has been tested, but is NOT supported under the 
specific configuration identified in the Base System Configurations Table in Section 2 
of this document. 

NT 

This expansion card or peripheral has not been tested under this operating system 
and is not supported under this operating system.   

ND 

This expansion card 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. 

SD (Similar Device) 

This expansion card/peripheral is supported, but not tested.  This expansion 
card/peripheral model has not been tested with this server board, but Intel will support 
it based on successful testing of a similar expansion card/peripheral from the same 
family.  Intel has high confidence that this expansion card/peripheral will function 
correctly with the server board.  This expansion card/peripheral uses the same 
firmware and drivers, and has a nearly identical system interface to another 
expansion card/peripheral  of the same family that has been successfully tested with 
this server board.  In addition, Intel has secured IHV commitment to support the 
similar expansion card/peripheral equally.  Customers should always test expansion 
card/peripheral as part of the final system configuration prior to deployment.  All 
installation guidelines for the tested expansion card/peripheral also apply to the 
similar device. 

 

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 expansion card/peripheral and operating system combination, 
these are referenced in the following table.  If there are no installation guidelines noted in the 
following table, then the expansion card/peripheral installed and functioned as expected using 
manufacturer’s installation instructions or Intel’s best-known methods.
