Intel®RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040 and RCS25ZB040LX THOL 1. Introduction Introduction This document provides users of the Intel® RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040 and RCS25ZB040LX with a guide to the operating systems, server boards, chassis, disk drives, and other peripherals that Intel tested for use with this RAID controller. This document will be updated as additional testing is performed, or until the Intel® RAID controller is no longer in production.
Introduction Intel®RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040 and RCS25ZB040LX THOL Intel will provide support to customers who experience issues with the integrated controllers due to the installation or functionality of an operating system only if a driver is available. Intel does not provide support for issues related to the use of add-in adapters or peripherals installed in the server system with an operating system that received only basic installation testing.
Intel®RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040 and RCS25ZB040LX THOL Introduction Note: Intel does not provide a support commitment for operating systems, adapter cards, and peripherals not listed in this document. Intel will consider requests for support on a case-bycase basis. 1.2 Pass/Fail Test Criteria For each operating system, adapter, and peripheral configuration, a test passes if specific criteria are met. Specific configurations with particular characteristics are addressed on a caseby-case basis.
Firmware Configurations 2. Intel®RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040 and RCS25ZB040LX THOL Firmware Configurations The following table lists the tested controller and firmware configurations. This document will be updated with additional configurations as new revisions of the Intel® RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040 and RCS25ZB040LX or firmware versions for that controller are released. Each configuration is assigned an identifier number which is referenced in the tables throughout this document.
