Red Hat Linux Pass-Through Hardware Requirements
Intel Corporation first performs an original model certification as described in the Red Hat Hardware
Certification Policies. Subsequent pass-through system certifications of EPSD OEM must meet the
following additional requirements:
Pass-Through certifications must be performed on systems that are a subset of the components
covered by testing completed in the original model certification.
No features or hardware may be added or subtracted from a pass-through system that would
impact the certification of the pass-through system.
Each Pass-Through Certification must have a unique vendor, make, and model number that are not
shared with any other hardware that would not be covered by the original certification.
Each Pass-Through Certification must have a unique vendor specification URL or must utilize the
equivalent OEM specification URL.
