Intel® Modular Server Systems Introduction This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25V2, Intel® Compute Module MFS5520VIR and Intel® Virtualization Manager with a guide to the different operating systems, expansion cards, and peripherals Intel plans to test on this platform.
1.2.1.1 Support Commitment for Basic Installation Testing Intel commits to provide the following level of customer support for operating systems that receive only basic installation testing: Intel will provide and test operating system drivers for each of the server board’s ...

Intel will enable vendors to provide driver support for I/O Expansion Cards 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® Compute Module testing was performed using the Intel® Server Modular System MFSYS25V2. Revision 1.0...
Intel plans to test with the Intel® Compute Module MFS5520VIR, Intel® Server System MFSYS25V2 and the Intel® Virtualization Manager activated. Each of the listed guest operating systems was tested for compatibility with the base system configuration listed in Section 6 of this document.
Any variations to the standard operating system installation processes are documented in the Installation Guidelines section of this document. If no installation guidelines are noted in the following table, then the operating system installed as expected using manufacturer’s installation instructions or Intel’s best-known methods. Table 2.2 Guest Operating Systems Tested Operating System...
Supported SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11SP1 (64-bit), Supported Note: The Intel® Virtualization Manager supports a maximum of one SCM installed in the chassis. Dual SCM configurations are NOT supported. Hard Disk Drives The hard drives listed in the following table have been tested with the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25V2 and the Intel®...

Intel® Modular Server Systems 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.
Intel® Compute Module MFS5520VIR or the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25V2 are released and/or new system software stacks are cut onto the boards in the factory. Each base system configuration is assigned an identifier number that is referenced in the tables throughout this document.
Stress Testing, please reference Section 1 of this document. If no installation guidelines are noted in the following table, then the operating system installed as expected using manufacturer’s installation instructions or Intel’s best-known methods. Table 3.2 Operating Systems Tested for MFS5520VIR...
3.2.1 Operating System Certifications Listed below are the operating systems that Intel plans to certify with the Intel® Compute Module MFS5520VIR. 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.
