- NOTE -
Refer to the Toptools README file for changes or additions
to the installation instructions in this User Guide.
Hardware and Software Requirements
Toptools consists of three main components:
• Management Server
• Consoles
• Managed Nodes
For successful installation and operation of Toptools, you must verify that the station on which you will install the
Toptools server meets or exceeds the minimum requirements as specified below for both the Toptools server and
Toptools consoles.
For best results, managed devices should be configured with management agents prior to installation so that
Toptools can discover them during the first discovery cycle.
Management Server
The Toptools server setup program (installation wizard) performs a thorough check of your system to verify that the
minimum requirements listed in the following tables are met prior to installing Toptools software. For software
requirements, the Toptools installation wizard may prompt you to install missing components, or in some cases, it
may offer to install them for you.
To reduce the amount of time required for installation, you should verify that your system meets the minimum
requirements listed below. Some items, such as an unsupported Operating System type or insufficient system access
privileges, will cause setup.exe to exit without installing Toptools.

Processor Intel Pentium 266MHz or better
