3.1 Operating System Certifications
The following table lists the operating systems that Intel will certify on the Intel
®
Server Board
S5000PAL/S5000XAL. However, the customer is responsible for their own certification from the
individual operating system vendors. In many cases, the customer may leverage their operating
system certifications from Intel’s testing. See the “Comments” section 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.
