SE7520JR2.

This document will continue to be updated as new adapters, peripherals, and operating systems

are tested or until the Intel®Carrier Grade Server TIGI2U and the Intel®IP Network Server

NSI2U are no longer in production. Each new release of the document will present updated

information as well as continue to provide the information from previous releases.

The adapters and peripherals specified in this document may or may not have been tested on

all available board/riser combinations that make up the TIGI2U and NSI2U product family. Intel

will provide support for the adapters and peripherals listed when used within this family of

products.

1.1 Test Overview

Testing performed on the Intel® Carrier Grade Server TIGI2U and the Intel® IP Network Server

NSI2U is divided under two separate categories:

•Basic Operating System Installation Testing

•Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility testing, and System Stress Testing.

1.1.1 Basic Installation Testing

Basic installation testing is performed with each supported operating system. Basic installation

testing validates that the server board can install the operating system and that the base

hardware feature set is functional. A small set of peripherals is used for installation purposes

only. No add-in adapter cards are tested. Testing includes network connectivity and running of

proprietary and industry standard test suites.

Introduction

Revision 1.3



The latest version of an operating system signifies the latest supported version

at the time of the actual test run. Each new release of this document may have

a newly supported release of a given operating system. Previous releases of a

supported operating system may not be tested beyond the basic installation

test process.

1.1.1.1 Support Commitment for Basic Installation Testing

Intel commits to provide the following level of customer support for operating systems that

receive only basic installation testing:

•Intel will provide and test operating system drivers for each of the server board’s

integrated controllers, provided that the controller vendor has a driver available upon

request. Vendors will not be required by Intel to develop drivers for operating systems

that they do not already support. This may limit the functionality of certain server board

integrated controllers.

•Intel will support customer issues that involve installation and/or functionality of

operating system with the server board’s integrated controllers only if a driver has been

made available.

•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. The resolution

may include, but is not limited to, on-board controller driver changes, engaging the

vendor for resolution, BIOS changes, firmware changes, or determining a customer

acceptable workaround for the issue.

1.1.2 Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress Testing

Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing is performed only on the most current

release of a supported operating system at the time of a given validation run. The Adapter /

Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing process consists of three areas: Base Platform,

Adapter Compatibility, and Stress.

Base Platform: Each base platform will successfully install a given operating system,

successfully run a disk stress test, and successfully run a network stress test.

Adapter Compatibility: Adapter compatibility validation (CV) testing uses test suites to gain an

accurate view of how the server performs with a wide variety of adapters under the primary

supported operating systems. These tests are designed to show hardware compatibility

between the add-in cards and the server platform and include functional testing only. No heavy

stressing of the systems or the cards is performed for CV testing.

Stress Testing: This test sequence uses configurations that include add-in adapters in all

available PCI slots for a minimum 72-hour test run without injecting errors. Each configuration

passes an installation test, a Network/Disk Stress test, and tape backup test. Any fatal errors

that occur will require a complete test restart.

Introduction

Revision 1.3

1.1.2.1 Support Commitment for Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress

Testing

Intel commits to provide the following level of customer support for operating systems that

receive Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing:

•Intel will provide support for customer issues with these operating systems involving

installation and/or functionality of the server board with or without the adapters and

peripherals listed in this document as having been tested under the particular operating

system.

•Support is defined as assistance in root causing issues, and determining a customer

acceptable resolution to the issue associated with the operating system. The resolution

may include, but is not limited to, on-board controller driver changes, engaging the

vendor for resolution, BIOS changes, firmware changes, or determining a customer

acceptable workaround for the issue.

•Intel will provide and test operating system drivers for each onboard video, network, and

storage controller.

•Intel will enable vendors to provide driver support for add-in adapters using these

operating systems.

•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.



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.

1.2 Pass/Fail Test Criteria

For each operating system, adapter, and peripheral configuration, a test passes if specific

criteria are met. Specific configurations may have had particular characteristics that were

addressed on a case-by-case basis. In general, a configuration passes testing if the following

conditions are met:

•The operating system installed without error.

•Manufacturer’s installation instructions or Intel’s best-known methods were used for the

operating system installation.

•No extraordinary workarounds were required during the operating system installation.

•The server system behaved as expected during and after the operating system

installation.

•Application software installed and executed normally.

•Hardware compatibility tests ran to completion without error.

•Test software suites executed successfully

•Test and data files were created in the correct directories without error.

•Files copied from client to server and back compare to the original with zero errors

reported.

•Clients remain connected to the server system.

•Industry standard test suites run to completion with zero errors reported.
