1. Introduction
This document provides users of the Intel
®
Integrated RAID Module RMS25PB080,
RMS25PB040, RMT3PB080, RMS25CB080, RMS25CB040, RMT3CB080, RMS25PB080N and
RMS25CB080N with a guide to the operating systems, server boards, chassis, disk drives, and
other peripherals that Intel tested for use with these RAID modules.
This document will be updated as additional testing is performed, or until these Intel
®
RAID
modules are no longer in production. Each new release of the document will include the
information from previous releases.
Intel will only provide support for the RAID module when it is installed in a system configured
with the specified server boards, and when the server board is configured with the tested RAID
firmware, system BIOS / firmware, and operating system versions.
These RAID modules were thoroughly tested with Intel
®
server boards, Intel
®
drive enclosures,
and the third-party devices listed in this document. However, it is not practical to test these
RAID modules in every possible combination of server board, drive enclosure, hard drive, and
peripheral device. Sample combinations have been tested to gain confidence in their
compatibility, and the devices listed were tested in one or more configurations.

Test Overview
Testing performed on Intel
®
Integrated RAID Module RMS25PB080, RMS25PB040,
RMT3PB080, RMS25CB080, RMS25CB040, RMT3CB080, RMS25PB080N and
RMS25CB080N is classified under two categories:
 Compatibility Testing
 Stress Testing
1.1.1
Basic Compatibility Testing
Compatibility testing is performed with each supported operating system. Basic installation
testing validates that these RAID modules can be used to install the operating system and that
the base hardware feature set is functional. A small set of peripherals are used for installation
purposes only. Additional add-in cards are not tested.
Note: The latest version of an operating system signifies the latest supported version at the
time of testing. New releases of this document may include a newly supported release of an
operating system. Previous releases of a supported operating system may not be tested
beyond the basic compatibility test process.
1.1.1.1
Support Commitment for Basic Installation Testing
Intel commits to the following level of customer support for operating systems that receive only
basic installation testing:
 Intel will provide tested operating system drivers for each of the integrated controllers on
the server board, provided the controller vendor has a driver available. Intel does not
