identified by the operating system identification number.

Number in brackets (i.e. [1])

This hard drive has been tested, but is NOT supported under the operating system

identified by the operating system identification number.

SD (Similar Drive)

The hard disk drive is supported, but not tested. This hard drive model/capacity has

not been tested with this server board, but Intel will support it based on successful

confidence that this hard drive will function correctly with the server board. This drive

uses the exact same firmware and drivers as a larger capacity hard drive that has

been successfully tested with this server board. The only difference between this

drive and the one that was used in testing is the storage capacity. Intel provides the

same level of support for all hard drives listed in this document, regardless of whether

the drive was tested or not. Customers should always test hard drives as part of the
