Adapters and Peripherals

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 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 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)
Number in brackets (i.e. [1])
NT
ND
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.
