Intel® Server Board SE7520AF2 Introduction Introduction This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® server board SE7520AF2 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 add-in cards, peripherals, and operating systems are tested until the Intel server board SE7520AF2 is no longer in production.
Intel will enable vendors to provide driver support for add-in adapters using these operating systems. • Intel will go through some of the steps to achieve certification to ensure its customers do not run across any problems, but the actual certification is the responsibility of the individual customer.
Files copied from client to server and back compare to the original with zero errors reported. Clients remain connected to the server system. Industry standard test suites run to completion with zero errors reported. All Intel server board SE7520AF2 testing was performed using the Intel Server Chassis SC5300. Revision 2.1...
Intel server board SE7520AF2 are released and/or new system BIOS and BMC firmware are introduced onto the board in Intel’s factory. Each base configuration is assigned an identifier number that is referenced in the tables throughout this document. New base configurations are added with each new release of this document.
The following table provides a list of supported operating systems for the Intel server board SE7520AF2. Each of the listed operating systems was tested for compatibility with a base Intel server board SE7520AF2 configuration. Operating system compatibility testing verifies that the operating system will install and function with all on-board devices.
Intel® Server Board SE7520AF2 Operating System Certifications Listed below are the operating systems that Intel will certify on the SE7520AF2 Server board. However, the customer is responsible for their own certification from the individual operating system vendors. In many cases, the customer may leverage their operating system certifications from Intel’s testing.
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: This adapter or peripheral has been tested and is supported under the specific Number (i.e.

Professional Operating System Problem Intel found through OS stress testing that the IA32 and the IA32e versions of the SuSE Linux 9.1 Professional operating system (kernel 2.6.4-52-smp) can exhibit silent data corruption on server boards based on the Intel(R) E7520 chipset.
Sony* tape drives with certain PNs (part numbers) may not be fully supportive with previous SE7520AF2 BIOS versions. Implication: Sony* tape drives with below PNs may not be fully supportive on SE7520AF2 until systems are upgraded to include BIOS P07 or later versions. Workaround: None.
Installation Guidelines Intel® Server Board SE7520AF2 Workaround: None. Status: No fix. Netware* 6.5 Service Pack 4 not bootable with certain LAN adapters present in PCI slot #5. ® ® Issue: When the LAN adapter, Intel PRO/100+ S Server, or 3COM 3C980C-TXM, is present in PCI slot #5, Netware* 6.5 Service Pack 4 might not be bootable.
