Notes:
-
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, 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. 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.
-
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 may include network connectivity and running of proprietary and industry standard test suites.
-
Intel® Server Board adapter/peripheral compatibility & stress testing was actually completed with Microsoft* Windows* Server 2003, Enterprise Edition. Intel Server Board supports the operating system portion of Small Business Server only. The Application portion of Small Business Server is not tested or supported.
