4. Adapters 
and 
Peripherals 
Add-in adapter-card, 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 on-board 
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. 
Number in brackets (i.e. [1]) 
This adapter 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 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 supported under this operating system. 
SA 
This adapter has not been tested by Intel under this operating system, but it is 
supported in this OS based on this adapter deemed as a subset of a successfully 
tested superset adapter listed right-above.   Intel has determined that these adapters 
use the same FW and drivers and have nearly identical system interface.  In addition, 
Intel has secured IHV commitment to support the adapters equally.  All guidelines for 
the superset adapter apply to this subset adapter. 
 
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 is 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 adapter cards is normally performed with expansion ROMs for 
unused add-in adapters and onboard controllers, 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.
