 Kontron will provide and test operating system drivers for each onboard video, network,
and storage controller.
 Kontron will enable vendors to provide driver support for add-in adapters using these
operating systems.
 Kontron 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. Kontron 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

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 Kontron’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.
