3.2 Operating System Certifications
Listed below are the operating systems that Intel will certify with the Intel® Server Compute
Blade SBX44 blade server. 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.
