Intel® server board S3000AH Introduction

1. Introduction

This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® server board S3000AH 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 release of the document will present updated information as well as continue to provide the information from previous releases.

Intel will only provide support for those adapters and peripherals under the specified system configuration (System BIOS and Firmware revisions) and operating systems versions with which they were tested.

®

server board S3000AH is no longer in production. Each new

1.1 Test Overview

Testing performed on the Intel® server board S3000AH is classified under two separate categories: Basic Installation Testing, and Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and 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.

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.

Revision 2.4

Intel® Server Board S3000AH Base System Configurations Intel® Server Board S3000AH

• 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 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 slots, (depending on chassis used) 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.

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.

Revision 2.4

2

Intel® server board S3000AH Introduction

• 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.

4. 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. All integrated on-board devices are tested by default and are therefore not included in the following tables.

Note that not all adapter cards were tested under all operating systems. The following notation is used in the tested adapters and peripherals table below to indicate the support level that Intel provides for a particular adapter under a particular operating system:

This adapter or peripheral has been tested and is supported under the specific

Number (i.e. 1)

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

configuration identified in the Base System Configurations Table in Section 2 of this document.

This adapter or peripheral has been tested, but is NOT supported under the specific configuration identified in the Base System Configurations Table in Section 2 of this document.

NT

ND

SA (Similar Adapter)

This adapter or peripheral has not been tested under this operating system and is not supported under this operating system.

This adapter or peripheral has not been tested under this operating system due to limitations in IHV driver availability, and is not suported under this operating system.

This adapter is supported, but not tested. This adapter model has not been tested with this server board, but Intel will support it based on successful testing of a similar adapter from the same adapter family. Intel has high confidence that this adapter will function correctly with the server board. This adapter uses the same firmware and drivers, and has a nearly identical system interface to another adapter of the same family that has been successfully tested with this server board. In addition, Intel has secured IHV commitment to support the similar adapters equally. Customers should always test adapters as part of the final system configuration prior to deployment. All installation guidelines for the tested adapter also apply to the similar adapter.

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, these are referenced in the following table. If there are no installation guidelines noted in the following table, then the adapter installed and functioned as expected using manufacturer’s installation instructions or Intel’s best-known methods.

Testing of adapters cards normally is performed with unused add-in adapters



and onboard controller expansion ROMs disabled in 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.
