Intel MFS5000SI Benutzerhandbuch

This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25 and 
Intel® Compute Module MFS5000SI with a guide to the different operating systems, expansion 
cards, and peripherals Intel plans to test on this platform. 

This document will continue to be updated as new expansion cards, peripherals, and operating 
systems are tested or until the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25 and Intel® Compute 
Module MFS5000SI are 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 expansion cards and peripherals under the specified 
system configuration (System BIOS and Firmware revisions) and operating systems versions 
with which they were tested. 

Testing performed on the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25 and Intel® Compute Module 
MFS5000SI is classified under two separate categories: Basic Installation Testing, and 
Expansion Card/ Peripheral Compatibility and Stress 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 expansion 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. 

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.
