• Manufacturer’s installation instructions or Intel’s best-known methods were used for the

operating system installation.

• No extraordinary workarounds were required during the operating system installation.

• The server system behaved as expected during and after the operating system

installation.

• Application software installed and executed normally.

• Hardware compatibility tests ran to completion without error.

• Test software suites executed successfully

• Test and data files were created in the correct directories without error.

• Files copied from client to server and back compare to the original with zero errors

reported.

• Clients remain connected to the server system.

• Industry-standard test suites run to completion with zero errors reported.

All testing of the Intel
