Intel's Xeon Shows Its Stuff in 7 Motherboards

Intel SE7525GP2 (I7525), Continued

Intel's Server Manager software 8.10 was not ready at the time we did the testing.

The driver CD wasn't ready either, so Intel provided a little note pointing that fact out.

The integrated console makes it possible to create a serial link to the system.

As this motherboard does not come with a parallel port, we could not run the Solidworks benchmark suite. In addition to that, we had to skip the CPU high load test, too, since we did not find any way to figure out what the current CPU temperature may be.
