Intel® Server Board SE7320SP2
Introduction
1. Introduction
This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® server board SE7320SP2 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 SE7320SP2 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 SE7320SP2 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.
Revision 1.7

Introduction
Intel® Server Board SE7320SP2
•
•
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.
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® Server Board SE7320SP2
Introduction
•
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.
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 SE7320SP2 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 SE7320SP2 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.

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
SE7320SP2 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).

Tech Tips
6. Tech Tips
6.1 Emulex* LP1050Ex and Qlogic* QLE2360 Fibre Channel
Adpaters Experience Delayed Write Failures during
Extended Stress Testing
Issue
During Intel’s extended stress test runs, fibre channel hard drives attached to the
Emulex* LP1050Ex or Qlogic QLE2360 PCI Express fibre channel adapters begin
experiencing delayed write failures and were eventually marked offline. These
failures have only been seen when running under Microsoft* Windows* Server
2003. Failures have not been seen when running under Novell* Netware* 6.5 or
Red Hat* Advanced Server 3.0.
Implication
Guideline
Status
Fibre channel hard drives may experience delayed write failures or the hard drives
may be marked offline if the Emulex* LP1050Ex or Qlogic QLE2360 PCI Express
fibre channel adapters are utilized in combination with Intel® Server Board
SE7320SP2, SE7520BD2, SE7520AF2, SE7520JR2, or SE7320VP2 and the
Microsoft* Windows* Server 2003 operating system, if the system is subjected to
extended periods of intensive I/O application stress.
The Emulex* LP1050E or Qlogic QLE2360 PCI Express fibre channel adapters
should not be utilized with the Intel® Server Board SE7320SP2, SE7520BD2,
SE7520AF2, SE7520JR2, or SE7320VP2 with the Microsoft* Windows* Server
2003 operating system. The Emulex LP1050Ex or Qlogic QLE236x PCI Express
fibre channel adpateres may be used with therse server boards with Novell*
Netware* 6.5 or Red Hat* Advanced Server 3.0.
Intel is currently working with Emulex and Qlogic to investigate a fix for this issue.
6.2 Emulex* LP9802DC PCI-X fibre channel host adapter issue
under Netware 6.5
Problem
The Emulex* LP9802DC PCI-X fibre channel host adpater works as expected
when in Intel® Server Board on Microsoft Windows* and supported Linux
configurations. However, when the adapter is installed in an Intel system with
Netware 6.5, the driver is not recognized by Netware. 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
Guideline
The Emulex* LP9802DC-F2 adapter driver is not recognized by Novell Netware*
6.5.
The Emulex* LP10000DC adpater is a compatible, next generation bridgeless
solution, which offers the same feature set with increased performance, work 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.
