Intel® Server Board SE7525GP2 1. Introduction Introduction This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® server board SE7525GP2 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 SE7525GP2 is no longer in production.
Introduction • • 1.1.2 Intel® Server Board SE7525GP2 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 SE7525GP2 • 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.
Base System Configurations 2. Intel® Server Board SE7525GP2 Base System Configurations The following table lists the base system configurations tested. Base system configurations will change as new revisions of the Intel server board SE7525GP2 are released and/or new system BIOS and BMC firmware are cut onto the board in the factory. Each base system configuration is assigned an identifier number that is referenced in the tables throughout this document.
Intel® Server Board SE7525GP2 3. Supported Operating Systems Supported Operating Systems The following table provides a list of supported operating systems for the Intel® server board SE7525GP2. Each of the listed operating systems was tested for compatibility with server board base system configuration listed in Section 2 of this document. Operating systems are supported only with the specified base system configuration(s) with which they were tested.
Supported Operating Systems Intel® Server Board SE7525GP2 Compatibility & Stress Windows NT 4.0 Advanced Server, SP6 Basic Install Configuration 2&3 – SuSE Professional Linux 8.2 Basic Install Configuration 2&3 – RedHat Linux 9.0 Basic Install Configuration 2&3 – SCO OpenServer 5.0.6a Basic Install Configuration 2&3 – Novell NetWare 5.1, SP7 Basic Install Configuration 2&3 – SuSE 9.1 Professional, EM64T Compatibility & Stress Configuration 2&3 – RHEL 3.0 w/update2, EM64T 3.
Intel® Server Board SE7525GP2 4. Adapters and Peripherals Adapters and Peripherals Add-in adapter card and peripheral compatibility and stress testing will only be performed with the latest version of an operating system at the time the validation testing occurred. The following table shows the operating system and base system configurations used to validate each device. The adapters are divided into categories based on their functionality.

Intel® Server Board SE7525GP2 Tech Tips Version A (Green PCB) – both signals are floating Version B (Red PCB) – both signals are connected directly to 5V Version C (Blue PCB) – both signals are floating These two signals are connected to the 6300ESB I/O Bridge and are only 3.3V tolerant. Version B of this adapter attempts to drive 5V on those two signals and could lead to damage to the baseboard. The other two versions of this adapter leave those signals floating so they can be either 3.
