Page 7: Introduction
Intel will NOT support issues related to the use of any add-in adapters or peripherals installed with an operating system that received only basic installation testing. -
Page 8: Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility And Stress Testing
Intel enables vendors to provide driver support for add-in adapters using these operating systems. Intel performs some of the steps to achieve certification, but the actual certification is the responsibility of the individual customer. There is no support commitment for operating systems, adapter cards, and peripherals not listed in this document. -
Page 9: Pass/Fail Test Criteria
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. -
Page 10: Base System Configurations
Each base system configuration is assigned an identifier number that is referenced in the tables throughout this document. New base system configurations are added with each new release of this document. Intel only provides support for adapters and peripherals under the specified base system configuration and operating system versions with which they were tested. -
