ProcessLogix Server Platform Requirements

Application Usage

Server configuration memory allocations assume Server services only.
Station Client memory usage already includes the ProcessLogix Client
Applications. However, most applications can be run on either the
Servers or Station Clients. On small to medium systems, these
applications may be run on the Server Platforms. On large systems,
the Servers should be dedicated to running only the Server Services.
On these systems, when possible, all applications should be run from
the Client stations.

Using the Platform Requirement’s Table as a base for memory usage,
add on the memory requirements for each of the applications from the
table below intended to be used on a regular basis. Refer to Footnote
(1) f
or more information.

Table 11.C ProcessLogix Server Platform Requirements

Requirement:

Processor

Dual 1 GHz Pentium III or Larger

RAM (Win 2000 Server)

384 MB

In these configurations, paging may occur on these systems. Based on the intended usage of the platform, this

configuration is acceptable. For better performance, users should upgrade the systems with an additional 64 MB
of RAM.

Networking

100 Mb Ethernet

Video Resolution

(1)

The Video Memory required to support this resolution varies by Video Module type, PC Bus supported, and

Manufacturers Spec. Please refer to Video Card Specifications for details. All systems should be set 1024 x 768
with 65K colors. MHz setting should be set to match the monitor.

1024 x 768 65K colors

Hard Drive

18.2 GB

Example Hardware

Dell PowerEdge 1400

TIP

Failure to add additional memory may result in
degradation of system performance.
