Introduction

This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® Storage System SSR212CC 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® Storage System SSR212CC 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 for those adapters and peripherals under the specified system
configuration (System BIOS and Firmware revisions) and operating systems versions with
which they were tested.

Test Overview

Testing performed on the Intel® Storage System SSR212CC is classified as Adapter /
Peripheral Compatibility and Stress Testing.
The latest version of the 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.

Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress Testing

Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing is performed only on the most current
release of the supported operating systems at the time of a given validation run. The Adapter /
Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing process consists of three areas: Platform, Adapter
Compatibility, and Stress.
Platform: Each platform will successfully install the 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 platform performs with adapters under the operating system. 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 Ethernet add-in adapters
in the one available slot, or a minimum 24-hour test run without injecting errors. Each
configuration passes an installation test, a Network/Disk Stress test. Any fatal errors that occur
will require a complete test restart.
