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.

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.

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.

Supported Operating Systems  
3. Supported Operating Systems  
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.  
The following table also indicates whether each operating system received Basic Installation  
Testing, or Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress Testing. For information on the  
support commitments for Basic Installation Testing vs. Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and  
Stress Testing, please reference Section 1 of this document.  
Any variations to the standard operating system installation process are documented in the  
Installation Guidelines section of this document. If there are no installation guidelines noted in  
the following table, then the operating system installed as expected using manufacturer’s  
installation instructions or Intel’s best-known methods.  
Operating systems supported by Intel® Server Management software or LANDesk*  
Client Manager software may be different than the operating systems supported by the  
Intel Server Board SE7520AF2. Please reference the Readme and User Guide  
documents that are included as part of each Intel Server Management and LANDesk*

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.  
NT  
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.  
ND  
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,  
SA  
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.

The hard drives listed in the following table have been tested with the Intel® server board SE7520AF2 by Intel in 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 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.  
Number (i.e. 1)  
This hard drive has been tested, but is NOT supported under the operating system  
Number in brackets (i.e. [1])  
identified by the operating system identification number.  
This hard drive model/capacity was not tested with this server board, but it is  
supported on corresponding operating systems based on successful testing of a larger  
capacity hard drive from the same hard drive family. This drive has been determined  
to use the exact same firmware and drivers as a larger capacity hard drive that has  
SD (Similar Drive)  
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.  
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).

Installation Guidelines  
6. Installation Guidelines  
6.1 Windows2000 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 SuSELinux 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.

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.
