Model	CPU	Chipset	Bios version	Reported by	Details of failure
Intel S2600IP	Intel E5 Sandy Bridge			University of Cambridge	Sandy bridge cores will only run as PCIe Gen.2. BIOS update did not eliminate the problem. Refer to Intel Errata
Dell R720	Intel E5-2630 v2 (Ivy Bridge) @2.6GHz			UCL/University of Cambridge/Cornell	This platform was tested at UCL by members of the Cambridge team, and was ok. However, other members of the community (e.g. Cornell), experienced problems working with this platform, with regards to PCIe. The problem manifests as a (BIOS) link training failure.
Dell T630				UIUC	The board with this server comes with a single PCIe3 slot. The BIOS does not have any PCIe related options. The slot does not work. We installed Vivado 2016.4 software under Ubuntu and the hardware was not detected. The lspci output also does not show the Xilinx device.
