1. Introduction
This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® server board SE7501WV2 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 add-in cards, peripherals, and operating systems are tested or until the Intel server board SE7501WV2 is 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.
Intel will only provide support to those add-in cards and peripherals under the specified system configuration (System BIOS and firmware) and operating systems and versions to which they were tested.
1.1 Test Overview
Testing performed on the Intel server board SE7501WV2 is classified under two separate categories: Compatibility Testing and Stress Testing.
1.1.1 Compatibility Testing
Basic compatibility testing is performed with each supported operating system. Basic compatibility testing validates the server board can be used to 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 cards are tested. Testing may include network connectivity and running of proprietary and industry standard test suites.
Extended compatibility testing will occur on only the latest versions of a supported operating system. Extended compatibility testing will test for functionality of a variety of add-in adapters and peripherals. Test applications used will consist of both proprietary as well as 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 compatibility test process.

1.1.2 Stress Testing
Stress testing is performed only on the most current release of a supported operating system at the time of a given validation run. The stress test process consists of three areas: Base platform, Multiple Adapter, and Endurance.
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.
Multiple Adapters: Multiple adapter validation (MAV) testing uses configurations and test suites to gain an accurate view of how the server performs under varying complex configurations while interacting with network clients. Each configuration is tested for at least 12 hours.
Endurance Test: This test sequence uses configurations that include 2-6 add-in adapters (depending on chassis used) for a minimum 72-hour test run without injecting errors. Three servers operating under Microsoft* Windows* 2000 Advanced Server, Novell NetWare*, and Linux* are tested in parallel. Each configuration passes an installation test, a Network/Disk Stress test, and tape backup test. Any fatal errors t hat occur will require a complete test restart.
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.
Intel server board SE7501WV2 testing was performed using the Intel server chassis SR1300 & SR2300.

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 configurations used to validate each device. The adapters are divided into categories based on their functionality. All integrated on­board 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:
Number (i.e. 1)
This adapter or peripheral has been tested and is supported under the specific configuration identified in the Base System Configurations Table in Section 2 of this document.
Number in brackets (i.e. [1])
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
This adapter or peripheral has not been tested under this operating system and is not supported under this operating system.
ND
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.
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.
Note: When using some external SCSI devices it may be necessary to power the system on before powering on the external device.

5. Hard Disk Drives
The hard drives listed in the following table have been tested with the Intel® server board SE7501WV2 by Intel in its validation labs and/or by individual drive vendors. The following operating system identifiers are used in the table to specify which OS each drive was tested under.
Identifier number Operating System
1-SCSI / 5-ATA Microsoft Windows* 2000 Advanced Server 2-SCSI / 6-ATA Novell NetWare* 6.0 3-SCSI / 7-ATA Red Hat Linux* 8.0 4-SCSI / 8-ATA SuSE Linux* 8.0 9-SCSI / 10-ATA Microsoft* Windows Server 2003* Enterprise Edition 11-SCSI / 12-ATA SuSE Linux* 9.0 13-SCSI / 14-ATA Novell NetWare* 6.5 15-SCSI / 16-ATA Red Hat Linux* AS 3.0 17-SCSI / 18-ATA Novell NetWare* 8.0 19-SCSI / 20-ATA Microsoft* Windows Server 2003* standard

Revision 3.5

Note that not all hard drives were tested under all operating systems. The following notation is used in the tested hard drives table below to indicate the support level that Intel provides for a particular hard drive with a particular operating system:
Number (i.e. 1)
This hard drive has been tested and is supported under the operating system 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 testing of a larger capacity hard drive from the same hard drive family. Intel has high 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 final system configuration prior to deployment. Given the fact that a larger capacity hard drive from the same drive family has successfully completed testing on this server board, this particular hard drive capacity point will not be tested.
IHVT (IHV Tested)
The hard disk drive was tested according to Intel-approved guidelines and test procedures by the Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) that manufactured the drive. Intel provides the same level of support for all hard drives listed in this document, regardless of whether the drive was tested in an Intel lab or not. IHV test reports remain the property of the IHV (Intel cannot provide copies of these reports).
Notes: The ATA HDDI board does NOT support hot-swapping hard drives. Doing so may cause data loss.
† - ATA drives from both †Western Digital and †Maxtor have been found to have their interface connectors placed in a location that is mechanically not compatible for use with the ATA backplane of the server chassis SR1300.
ATA drives are only supported in the server chassis SR1300 using an ATA backplane board. When using some external SCSI devices it may be necessary to power the system on before powering on the external device.

6.1 Novell NetWare* 6.0 fails to detect the Promise Fast Track TX2000 adapter when the on-board Promises driver is enabled
Issue: Novell NetWare 6.0 fails to detect the Promise Fast Track TX2000 adapter with
the on-board Promise driver enabled.
Implication: While attempting to bind the driver with the adapter, an error message appears:
“The following driver instance failed to load and will be deleted: c:\NWUPDATE\FASTTRACK.HAM SLOT=1
(The device supported by the driver may be disabled)” The Logger screen shows:
“Module FASTTRACK.HAM load status REENT FAIL” Guideline: Disable the on-board Promise driver. Status: Intel is currently working to determine root cause of this issue.
6.2 SuSE* 8.0 installation hangs while formatting a hard drive on
Adaptec ASC39320
Issue: SuSE installation hangs while formatting a hard drive on the Adaptec ASC39320 Implication: The hard drive will not be formatted and the installation of the SuSE 8.0
operating system will not be complete. Guideline: Use the on-board Adaptec component when formatting hard drives during
installation. Status: Intel is currently working to determine root cause of this issue.
6.3 SuSE* 8.0 installation must be completed before the installing
Adaptec ASR-2110
Issue: SuSE installation will panic if ASR2110 is installed before the completion of the
OS Implication: The hard drive will not be formatted and the installation of the SuSE 8.0

operating system will not be complete. Guideline: Use the on-board Adaptec component when formatting hard drives during
installation. Status: Intel is currently working to determine root cause of this issue.
6.4 Samsung SP8004H Polaris 40 hard drive jumpers should be
removed for proper sizing
Issue: On the SCSI baseboard - When set to a master/slave configuration on the ATA
controller, both the system and Windows2000 identifies the slave drive as having
32248MB of space. The drive is a Samsung SP8004H 80GB ATA-100 drive. The
master drive is identified as having 76348MB.
On the ATA baseboard - When the Samsung SP-8004h IDE hard drive is placed
on the Promise controller, as a master the drive is sized as an 80GB drive, but if
the same drive is move to the slave position with any other drive as a master,
including a like drive the drive is reported as a 32GB drive. Implication: Drive capacity is not identified correctly by the system. Guideline: Remove all jumpers, which will put the drive in slave mode with full capacity. Status: Root cause was determined to be an incorrect label on the drives. This will be
fixed in Samsung product documentation.
6.5 Red Hat Linux* 7.3 segmentation fault with an Intel® RAID
controller installed
Issue: When using the normal installation of Red Hat Linux* 7.3 with the 2.4.18-3 kernel
and an Intel RAID controller installed, the following issue is seen:
1. A shutdown command results in a segmentation fault.
2. It is not possible to use some tools such as storcon.
3. Accessing the proc file system (via cat /proc/scsi/gdth/#, where “#” stands for the controller number, also results in a segmentation fault.
This issue occurs only when using Red Hat kernel version 2.4.18-3 installed with SMP support, and it is not server board or RAID controller specific.
Implication: The Red Hat Linux 7.3, 2.4.18-3 SMP kernel does not function properly with the
Intel RAID controller driver. See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2003-
