Intel® Server Board SE7520BD2/SE7520BD2-D2 1. Introduction Introduction This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® server board SE7520BD2 / SE7520BD2D2 with a guide to the different operating systems, adapter cards, and peripherals tested by Intel on this platform. This document will continue to be updated as new adapters, peripherals, and operating systems are tested or until the Intel® server board SE7520BD2/ SE7520BD2D2 is no longer in production.
Introduction • • 1.1.2 Intel® Server Board SE7520BD2/SE7520BD2-D2 Intel will NOT provide support for issues related to use of any add-in adapters 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® Server Board SE7520BD2/SE7520BD2-D2 • 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. 1.2 Introduction For operating systems, adapter cards, and peripherals not listed in this document, there is no support commitment. Intel will consider support requests on a case-by-case basis.
