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.
Revision 1.3
1
Introduction
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.
Revision 1.3

Introduction
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.

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 notations
are 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

IHVT (IHV Tested)
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.
This adapter or peripheral was tested according to Intel-approved guidelines and test
procedures by the Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) that manufactured this
adapter or peripheral. Intel provides the same level of support for all the adapters or
peripherals listed in this document, regardless of whether this adapter or peripheral
was tested in an Intel lab or not. IHV test reports remain the property of the IHV (Intel
cannot provide copies of these reports).
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.

Adapters and Peripherals
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.

This hard drive has been tested and is supported under the operating system
identified by the operating system identification number.
This hard drive has been tested, but is NOT supported under the operating system
identified by the operating system identification number.
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.
The hard disk drive was tested according to Intel-approved guidelines and test
procedures by the Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) that manufactured the drive.
