Hard Disk Drives
The hard drives listed in the following table have been tested with the server board
integrated into the
Kontron IP Network Server
NSN2U
by Kontron 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:
For the definition of the
Base Configuration
number see the table describing the
Base
System Configuration Identifier #
in section two of this document.
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
Kontron provides for a particular hard drive with a particular operating system:
Number (i.e. 1)
This hard drive has been tested and is supported under the operating system
identified by the operating system identification number.
Number in brackets
(i.e. [1])
This hard drive has been tested, but is NOT supported under the operating system
identified by the operating system identification number.
SD (Similar Drive)
The hard disk drive is supported, but not tested. This hard drive model/capacity
has not been tested with this server board, but Kontron will support it based on
successful testing of a larger capacity hard drive from the same hard drive family.
Kontron has high confidence that this hard drive will function correctly with the
server board. This drive uses the exact same firmware and drivers as a larger
capacity hard drive that has 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. Kontron 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. Given the fact that a larger capacity hard drive from the same
drive family has successfully completed testing on this server board, this particular
hard drive capacity point will not be tested.
IHVT (IHV Tested)
The hard disk drive was tested according to Kontron-approved guidelines and test
procedures by the Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) that manufactured the
drive. Kontron provides the same level of support for all hard drives listed in this
document, regardless of whether the drive was tested in an Kontron lab or not. IHV
test reports remain the property of the IHV (Kontron cannot provide copies of these
