Intel® Server Compute Blade SBX44 / Intel® Server Chassis SBCEOn-Board Components and
Expansion Board
Revision 2.1 9
4. On-Board Components and Expansion Board
The following is a list of the on-board components included on the Intel® Server Compute Blade
SBX44 Blade Server as well as the expansion boards that Intel supports in the Intel® Server
Compute Blade SBX44/ Intel® Server Chassis SBCE server system.
On-board components, Intel® 82546GB and Intel® 82545GM on the blade server processor and
I/O expansion board will be compatibility and stress tested with the latest version of an
operating system at the time validation testing occurs. The following table shows the operating
system and base configurations used to validate each device.
Note that testing of the components is very complex, as the blade servers that contain these
components must be tested in different blade slots within the Intel® Server Chassis SBCE,
using different operating systems, using various expansion boards in combination with different
blade server types, etc.
The following notation is used in the tested on-board components and expansion boards table
below to indicate the support level that Intel provides for a particular component under a
particular operating system:
Number (i.e. 1)
This on-board component or expansion board has been tested and is supported
under the specific configuration identified in the Base System Configurations Table in
Section 2 of this document.
Number in brackets (i.e. [1])
This on-board component or expansion board has been tested, but is NOT supported
under the specific configuration identified in the Base System Configurations Table in
Section 2 of this document.
NT
This on-board component or expansion board has not been tested under this
operating system and is not supported under this operating system.
ND
This on-board component or expansion board has not been tested under this
operating system due to limitations in IHV driver availability, and is not suported under
this operating system.
If there are installation guidelines affecting a particular on-board component and operating
system combination, these are referenced in the following table.
