Intel® Server Board SE7520AF2

Introduction

1. 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. Each

new release of the document will present updated information as well as continue to provide the

information from previous releases.

Intel will only provide support to those add-in cards and peripherals under the specified system

configuration (System BIOS and firmware) and operating systems and versions to which they

were tested.

1.1 Test Overview

Testing performed on the Intel server board SE7520AF2 is classified under two separate

categories: Basic Installation Testing, and Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress Testing.

1.1.1

Basic Installation Testing

Basic installation testing is performed with each supported operating system. Basic installation

testing validates that the server board can install the operating system and that the base

hardware feature set is functional. A small set of peripherals is used for installation purposes

only. No add-in adapter cards are tested. Testing includes network connectivity and running of

proprietary and industry standard test suites.

The latest version of an operating system signifies the latest supported version

ꢀ

at the time of the actual test run. Each new release of this document may have

a newly supported release of a given operating system. Previous releases of a

supported operating system may not be tested beyond the basic installation

test process.

1.1.1.1

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

integrated controllers, provided that the controller vendor has a driver available upon

request. Vendors will not be required by Intel to develop drivers for operating systems

that they do not already support. This may limit the functionality of certain server board

integrated controllers.

•

Intel will support customer issues that involve installation and/or functionality of

operating system with the server board’s integrated controllers only if a driver has been

made available from Intel.

Intel will NOT provide support for issues related to use of any add-in adapters or

peripherals installed in the server system when an operating system that received basic

installation testing only is in use.

Revision 2.0

Introduction

Intel® Server Board SE7520AF2

•

Support is defined as assistance in root causing issues, and determining a customer

acceptable resolution to the issue associated with the operating system. The resolution

may include, but is not limited to, on-board controller driver changes, engaging the

vendor for resolution, BIOS changes, firmware changes, or determining a customer

acceptable workaround for the issue.

1.1.2

Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress Testing

Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing is performed only on the most current

release of a supported operating system at the time of a given validation run. The Adapter /

Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing process consists of three areas: Base Platform,

Adapter Compatibility, and Stress.

Base Platform: Each base platform will successfully install a given operating system,

successfully run a disk stress test, and successfully run a network stress test.

Adapter Compatibility: Adapter compatibility validation (CV) testing uses test suites to gain an

accurate view of how the server performs with a wide variety of adapters under the primary

supported operating systems. These tests are designed to show hardware compatibility

between the cards and the server platform and include functional testing only. No heavy

stressing of the systems or the cards is performed for CV testing.

Stress Testing: This test sequence uses configurations that include add-in adapters in all

available slots, (depending on chassis used) for a minimum 72-hour test run without injecting

errors. Each configuration passes an installation test, a Network/Disk Stress test, and tape

backup test. Any fatal errors that occur will require a complete test restart.

1.1.2.1

Support Commitment for Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress

Testing

Intel commits to provide the following level of customer support for operating systems that

receive Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing:

•

Intel will provide support for customer issues with these operating systems involving

installation and/or functionality of the server board with or without the adapters and

peripherals listed in this document as having been tested under the particular operating

system.

•

Support is defined as assistance in root causing issues, and determining a customer

acceptable resolution to the issue associated with the operating system. The resolution

may include, but is not limited to, on-board controller driver changes, engaging the

vendor for resolution, BIOS changes, firmware changes, or determining a customer

acceptable workaround for the issue.

•

Intel will provide and test operating system drivers for each onboard video, network, and

storage controller.

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.

Revision 2.0

Intel® Server Board SE7520AF2

Introduction

For operating systems, adapter cards, and peripherals not listed in this

document, there is no support commitment. Intel will consider support requests

on a case-by-case basis.

ꢀ

1.2 Pass/Fail Test Criteria

For each operating system, adapter, and peripheral configuration, a test passes if specific

criteria are met. Specific configurations may have had particular characteristics that were

addressed on a case-by-case basis. 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.

The server system behaved as expected during and after the operating system

installation.

Application software installed and executed normally.

•

Hardware compatibility tests ran to completion without error.

Test software suites executed successfully

Test and data files were created in the correct directories without error.

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.

3.1 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. See the “Comments” section next to each operating system in

the table below for additional information. Intel’s certifications, pre-certification, and operating

system testing may help reduce some of the risk in achieving customer certifications with the

operating system vendors.

Adapters and Peripherals

4. Adapters and Peripherals

Add-in adapter-card, 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:

This adapter or peripheral has been tested and is supported under the specific

Number (i.e. 1)

configuration identified in the Base System Configurations Table in Section 2 of this

document.

This adapter or peripheral has been tested, but is NOT supported under the specific

Number in brackets (i.e. [1]) configuration identified in the Base System Configurations Table in Section 2 of this

document.

This adapter or peripheral has not been tested under this operating system and is not

supported under this operating system.

This adapter or peripheral has not been tested under this operating system due to

limitations in IHV driver availability, and is not supported under this operating system.

This adapter has not been tested by Intel under this operating system, but it is

supported in this OS based on this adapter deemed as a subset of a successfully

tested superset adapter listed right-above. Intel has determined that these adapters

use the same FW and drivers and have nearly identical system interface. In addition,

Intel has secured IHV commitment to support the adapters equally. All guidelines for

the superset adapter apply to this subset adapter.

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 is 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 adapter cards is normally performed with expansion ROMs for

ꢀ

unused add-in adapters and onboard controllers, 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.

Installation Guidelines

6. Installation Guidelines

6.1 Windows^†2000 Advanced Sever Recognizes Only 4 GB of

Memory.

Issue

When using greater than 4 GB of memory, POST reports the total memory

present correctly, but Windows 2000 Advanced Server only sees ~4GB. The

total memory present reported by Windows was checked by bringing up the

System Properties window and verifying the total memory displayed on the

General Tab.

Implication

Memory above 4GB not being recognized.

Workaround

The /PAE option must be enabled in the ARC path in the boot.ini file in order

for Windows 2000 to recognize memory above 4.0GB (e.g.

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 Advanced Server"

/PAE /basevideo /sos)

Status

No Fix.

6.2 Potential Data Corruption Manifested Under SuSE^†Linux 9.1

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.

Implication

Investigation determined the data corruption stemmed from a race condition in

reiser file system that ships with SuSE Linux 9.1 Professional OS (2.6.4-based

kernel). Although the reiser file system is the default file system used by SuSE

Linux; tests of alternative file systems supported by the OS have not

manifested this data corruption. All investigations and test results ascertain

that this anomaly affects the IA32 and IA32e versions of the SuSE* Linux 9.1

Professional OS. This anomaly is expected to be addressed by the OS vendor

on the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 version when officially released.

Workaround

Status

None supported by Intel.

No Fix.

6.3 Tape drive shown as if 8 tapes are installed.

Problem

When Quantum* Tape(DLT VS160) is installed in On-board SCSI. In some

cases, 8 tapes are attached in Windows* Device manager. Similar symptom

may appear in Netware* 6.5 sp 1, where 8 Tape devices may be seen in the

Device List.

Revision 2.0

Installation Guidelines

Intel® Server Board SE7520AF2

Implication

Workaround

Status

The device works fine despite the wrong device information shown by OS’es.

The reason is the tape device firmware may be inproper.

Update the tape device firmware using V34 version to make the device

information shown correctly.

No Fix.

6.4 Novell NetWare* 6.5 Emulex* LP9802DC driver fails to load

Issue:

The Emulex* LP9802DC PCI-X fibre channel host adapter works as expected

when installed in the Intel® SE7520AF2 server board with Microsoft

Windows* and supported Linux configurations. However, when the adapter is

installed with NetWare* 6.5, the driver is not recognized by this operating

system . NetWare fails to recognize both driver versions 2.00c and 2.02g. The

likely source for this failure is a conflict between the NetWare operating system

and the PCI-X bridge chip that is used on the LP9802DC adapter.

Implication:

The Emulex LP9802DC adapter driver is not recognized by Novell NetWare*

6.5.

Workaround : The Emulex LP10000DC adapter is a compatible, next generation

bridgeless solution, which offers the same feature set with increased

performance, works as expected under Novell NetWare 6.5 and has been

validated as a supported adapter on current Intel platforms.

Status:

Intel is currently working with Emulex to investigate a fix for this issue.

6.5 Sony* Tape Drives fully supportive with SE7520AF2 BIOS P07

Issue:

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:

Status:

None.

No fix.

6.6 Seagate* SCSI Hard Disks Drives supportive with SE7520AF2

BIOS P07

Issue:

Seagate* SCSI Hard Disks Drives with certain PNs (part numbers) may not be

supportive with previous SE7520AF2 BIOS versions.

Implication:

Seagate* SCSI Hard Disks Drives with below PNs may not be supportive on

SE7520AF2 until systems are upgraded to include BIOS P07 or later versions.

The support level currently is limited to OS installation only.
