5. Enclosures, PCI Adapters, and Peripherals
The testing of enclosures, add-in cards, and peripherals was performed on the Intel
®
SAS
Controller RS25GB008 by Intel labs, independent test labs, or the vendor. Compatibility and
stress testing was performed with the latest version of an operating system available at the time
of testing.
Although a large sample of configurations were tested, not all devices were tested under all
operating systems, and not all possible combinations or configurations of third-party devices
were tested for inter-compatibility due to the large number of possible configurations. To verify
compatibility, use the Server Configurator Tool available at:
http://serverconfigurator.intel.com/default.aspx.
Add-in adapter card and peripheral compatibility and stress testing is performed with the latest
version of an operating system available at the time of testing. The adapters are divided into
categories based on their functionality. All integrated on-board devices are tested by default
and are, therefore, not included in the following tables.
Note: All adapter cards and peripherals were not tested under all operating systems.
Any variations to the standard adapter installation process or to expected adapter functionality
are documented in the ‘Installation Guidelines’ section of this document. If there are installation
guidelines affecting a particular adapter and operating system combination, they are referenced
in the following table. If the installation guidelines are not noted in the following table, then the
adapter installed and functioned as expected, using the manufacturer’s installation instructions
or Intel’s best-known methods.
Note: Adapter cards are normally tested with unused add-in adapters and on-board controller
expansion ROMs disabled in the BIOS Setup. Intel recommends that customers disable the
option ROM for add-in controllers and/or the on-board controllers when not booting from the
controller or needing to use its built-in utilities.
