3. Operating Systems
The following table provides a list of supported operating systems for the Intel
®
Integrated RAID
Module RMS2AF0x0. Each operating system was tested for compatibility with Intel
®
Integrated
RAID Module RMS2AF0x0 configuration listed in Chapter 2. Operating systems are only
supported in the specified base system configuration(s) with which they were tested.
The following table also indicates whether each operating system received Basic Installation
testing, or Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing. For information on the support
commitments for Basic Installation Testing and Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress
Testing, see Chapter 1.
Any variations to the standard operating system installation process are documented in the
Installation Guidelines section of this document. If the installation guidelines are not noted in the
following table, then the operating system installed as expected using the manufacturer’s
installation instructions or Intel’s best-known methods.
Note: The operating systems listed in the following table have been tested for compatibility with
the Intel
®
Integrated RAID Module RMS2AF0x0, but the operating system and its associated
driver may not have been tested for compatibility with the server board you have selected. Refer
to the supported operating system list for your server board to verify operating system
compatibility with the server board. This document lists testing performed on Intel
®
Server
Boards only.

3.1 Operating System Certifications
The following table lists the operating systems that Intel will certify with the Intel
®
Integrated
RAID Module RMS2AF0x0. Each customer is responsible for their own certification from the
individual operating system vendors. In many cases, customers may leverage their operating
system certifications from the testing completed by Intel. See the “Comments” column next to
each operating system in the following table for additional information. Intel’s certifications, pre-
certification, and operating system testing may help reduce some of the risk in achieving
customer certifications with the operating system vendors.
