1 Overview
1.1 Acceptance Test Criteria

1.2 Precautions
1.1 Acceptance Test Criteria

This document is developed based on major specifications and function standards
of the industry as well as on Huawei server specifications and related R&D test
standards.
After a customer receives the equipment, an acceptance team consisting of the
customer and Huawei engineers performs the acceptance tests to verify that the
equipment meets customer requirements.
1.2 Precautions
1. Before performing acceptance tests, obtain the OS installation DVD or image,
or a deployment server. Ensure that the OS is on the Huawei server
compatibility list.
To obtain the server compatibility list, use the Computing Product
Compatibility Checker.
2. All test items shall be agreed on by both parties concerned.
3. Observe related rules and criteria during the test. Because the items usually
have been tested before delivery, you can omit some items if the site
conditions are not appropriate.
NOTE
In the acceptance tests, observe the contracts and agreements between the two parties
concerned. This document serves as a reference only.
