Hard Disk Drives - Intel IP Network server NSI2U Tested Hardware And Operating System List

Hard Disk Drives

5. Hard Disk Drives
The hard drives listed in the following table have been tested with the server board integrated
®
into the Intel Carrier Grade Server TIGI2U and the Intel
its validation labs and/or by individual drive vendors. The following operating system identifiers
are used in the table to specify which OS each drive was tested under.

Note: For the definition of the Base Configuration number see the table describing the Base
System Configuration Identifier # in section two of this document.
Note that not all hard drives were tested under all operating systems. The following notation is
used in the tested hard drives table below to indicate the support level that Intel provides for a
particular hard drive with a particular operating system:

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.
Intel provides the same level of support for all hard drives listed in this document,
regardless of whether the drive was tested in an Intel lab or not. IHV test reports
remain the property of the IHV (Intel cannot provide copies of these reports).
