Intel® Server Boards S5000PSL/S5000XSL, Intel® Workstation Board
S5000XVN, and Intel® Server System SC5400RA Introduction
Revision 2.9

1. Introduction
This document serves as a guide for users to the different operating systems, adapter cards,
and peripherals tested by Intel.
This document is updated as new adapters, peripherals, and operating systems are tested or
until the Intel® Server Boards S5000PSL/S5000XSL, Intel® Workstation Board S5000XVN, and
Intel® Server System SC5400RA are no longer in production. Each new release of the
document includes both new information and information from previous releases.
Intel only provides support for the adapte rs and peripherals under the system con figuratio ns
(system BIOS and firmware) and operating system versions with which they were tested.
1.1 Test Overview
Testing performed on the Intel® Server Boards S5000PSL/S5000XSL, Intel® Workstation Board
S5000XVN, and Intel® Server System SC5400RA is classified under two categories:
Basic Installation Testing
Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress Testing
1.1.1 Basic Installation Testing
Basic installation testing is performed with each supported operating system. The testing
validates that the server board or workstation board can install the operating system and that
the base hardware feature set is fun ctional. A small set of peripherals is used for installation
purposes only. The add-in adapter cards are not tested.
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 provides and tests operating system drivers for each integrated controller of the
server board or workstation board, provided that the controller vendor has a driver
available upon request. Intel will not require vendors to develop drivers for operating
systems that they do not already support. This may limit the functionality of integrated
controllers.
Intel supports customer issues that involve installation and/or functionality of the
operating system with the integrated controllers of the server boa rd or workstation board
only if a driver is available.
Intel will NOT support issues related to the use of any add-in adapters or peripherals
installed with an operating system that received only basic instal lation testing.
Introduction Intel® Server Boards S5000PSL/S5000XSL, Intel® Workstation Board
S5000XVN, and Intel® Server System SC5400RA
2 Revision 2.9
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 supporte d operating system at the time of a given validation run. The Adapter /
Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing process consists of the following three areas:
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 fo r CV testing.
Stress Testing: This test sequence uses configu rations that include add-in adapters in
all available slots (depending on chassis used) for a minimum 72-hour (three days) 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 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 supports customer issues with these operating systems involving installation and/or
functionality of the server board or workstation 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 provides and tests operating system drivers for eac h onboard video, network, and
storage controller.
Intel enables vendors to provide driver support for add-in adapters using these operating
systems.
Intel performs some of the steps to achieve certification, but the actual certification is the
responsibility of the individual customer.
There is no support commitment for operating systems, adapter cards, and
peripherals not listed in this document. 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 tes t ing 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 we re requir ed during the o perating 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 file s 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.
The testing of the Intel® Server Boards S5000PSL/S5000XSL and Intel® Workstation Board
S5000XVN was performed with either Intel® Server Chassis SC5400 or Intel® Entry Server
Chassis SC5299-E.

4. Adapters and Peripherals
Compatibility and stress testing for add-in adapter cards and peripherals is only performed with
the latest version of an operating system availabl e at the time the validation testing occurred.
The following tables identify the operating system and base system co nfigurations used to
validate each device. The adapters are divided into categories based on their functionality. All
integrated onboard devices are tested by default and are therefore not included in the following
tables.
All adapter cards were not tested under all operating systems.
The following notation is used in the following table to indicate the support level that Intel
provides for a particular adapter under a particular operating system:
Number: This adapter or peripheral was tested and is supported under the specific
configuration identified in the Base System Configurations ta ble in Chapter 2.
Number in brackets: This adapter or peripheral was te sted, but is NOT supported
under the specific configuration identified in the Base System Configurations ta ble in
Chapter 2
NT: This adapter or peripheral was not tested under this operating system and is not
supported under this operating system.
ND: This adapter or peripheral was not tested under this operating system due to
limitations in IHV (Independent Hardware Vendors) driver availability, and is not
suported under this operating system.
SA (Similar Adapter): This adapter is supported, but not tested. This adapter model
was not tested with this server board/workstatio n board, but Intel will support it based on
successful testing of a similar adapter from the same adapter family. Intel has high
confidence that this adapter will function correctly with the server board/ workstation
board. This adapter uses the same firmware and drivers, and has a nearly identical
system interface to another adapter of the same family that was successfully tested with
this server board/workstation board. In addition, Intel has secured IHV commitment to
support the similar adapters equally. Customers should always test adapters as part of
the final system configuration prior to deployment. All installation guidelines for the
tested adapter also apply to the similar adapter.
Any variations to the standard adapter installation process or to the expected adapter
functionality are documented in Chapter 6. If there are specific installation guidelines affecting a
particular adapter and operating system combination , these are referenced in the following
tables. If the installation guidelines are not not ed in the following tabl es, it means that 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 unused add-in adapters
and onboard controller expansion ROMs (Read-Only Memory) disabled in the
BIOS setup. Intel recommends that customers disable the optio n ROM for add-
in controllers and/or the onboard controllers when not booting from the
controller or needing to use its built-in utilities.

6.1 List of currently unsupported features for S5000PSLSATAR and
S5000XVNSASR in Solaris 10 U4 08/07
Issue: This release of Sun* Solaris 10 includes basic sup port for chipse t features. Many
advanced features are not working. These features include:
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) sleep states
Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep Technology(EIST) Processor Throttling
Virtualization Technology(VT) extensions
I/OAT (Input/Output Acce leration Technology)
Implication: These features are not currently supported under Sun Solaris.
Guideline: System stability is not impacted; however, these features are not supported.
Status: Intel is currently working with Sun to include support for these features in an
upcoming release of Sun Solaris.
6.2 Solaris 10 U4 (08/07) Requires Kernel Patch in order for E54xx and
E52xx devices to function properly
Issue: The Sun Solaris 10 U4 kernel will not boot into 64-bit mode with any E54xx and
E52xx processors installed.
Guideline: After install, reboot into 32-bit mode and install the kernel patch. Follow the
instructions listed at the following website in order to accomplish this.

6.4 Installing Red Hat* Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 (or RHEL5 Update 1) on
RAID with onboard SATA (ESB2) Controller
Issue: Customer may find that Red Hat* 5.1 cannot be installed on S5000PSL under
ESRTII SATA RAID1.
Implication: There will be updated release notes for the installation of the ESRTII RAID
driver.
Guideline: Customer can perform the following steps to successfully install RHEL5 with an
onboard SATA Controller:
1. Create a RAID array usin g the I ntel(R ) Em bedd ed Se rver RAID Technology II RAID
BIOS Console.
2. Connect a USB floppy drive and insert a floppy disk with RAID driver.
3. Boot your system using RHEL5.0 DVD.
4. At the boot prompt, type
linux dd noprobe=ata1 noprobe=ata2 noprobe=ata3 noprobe=ata4.
A page showing "loading usb-storage driver" displays and then asks, “Do you have
a driver disk?”.
5. Choose “Yes”.
It asks you to choose a driver disk.
6. Choose “sda” for the USB floppy disk and click OK to continue.
The message “Reading driver disk” displays. After it finishes, it asks, “Do you wish
to load any more driver disks?”.
7. If you do not have any more driver disks to load, choose “No”.
8. (If XEN mode feature is needed, the Operating System installation KEY is required
and then the XEN software package needs to be loaded). Continue with the RHEL
automatic installation.
In the page where you select the drives to be used for installation, you will only see
one disk (Intel MegaSR). This me ans that the raid is re cognized.
At the last step of the installation (after all the packages are installed), RHEL5
prompts you to reboot. Do NOT click the Reboot button.
9. Press Ctr+Alt+F2 to go to the text console prompt.
10. Type “cat /proc/partitions”.
Some information about the partition displays including several rows, with one row
for sdb. It displays as follows:
major minor #blocks name
8 16 1440 sdb
11. Type “mknod /dev/sdb b 8 16” (8 and 16 are copi ed from the major and minor
numbers in step 10).
12. Type “mkdir /temp”.

13. Type “mount /dev/sdb /temp”.
14. Type “ls /temp”
All the driver files are now in /temp.
15. Type “cd temp" to go to /temp directory.
16. Type “./replace_ahci.sh” to execute the file.
This removes ahci from /etc/modprobe.conf and blacklists ahci in
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.
17. Go back to the graphic screen and reboot the system in order to finish the
installation.
Status: ESRTII driver ver. 10.21.0507.2008 now has the updated release notes.
6.5 Recommend to install following RAID Controllers in PCI Slot other than
Slot 4
Issue: Intel® RAID Controllers SRCSASJV, SRCSASRB, SRCSATAWB, SRCSASBB 8I
and SRCSASLS4I may fail to activate RAID BIOS Console by Ctrl+G after they
are installed into PCI Slot 4 on the Intel® Server Boards S5000PSL, S5000XSL,
S5000VSA, or Intel® Workstation Board S5000XVN.
Guideline: Install the RAID controlle r in a di fferen t PCI Express Slot.
Status: This issue was resolved with BIOS R0094.
