Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25, Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS35, Intel® Compute Module MFS5000SI 1. Introduction This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35 and Intel® Compute Module MFS5000SI with a guide to the different operating systems, expansion cards, and peripherals Intel plans to test on this platform.
Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25, Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS35, Intel® Compute Module MFS5000SI • • Intel will NOT provide support for issues related to use of any 3rd party expansion cards or peripherals installed in the server system when an operating system that received basic installation testing only is in use. Support is defined as assistance in root causing issues, and determining a customer acceptable resolution to the issue associated with the operating system.
Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25, Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS35, Intel® Compute Module MFS5000SI • • Intel will enable vendors to provide driver support for I/O Expansion Cards using these operating systems. Intel will go through some of the steps to achieve certification to ensure its customers do not run across any problems, but the actual certification is the responsibility of the individual customer. 1.
