LP-System - System Requirements

State January 1st, 2010

A. File server / Database server

Minimum requirements

  • Pentium IV, 1 GB RAM, min. 512 MB RAM available
  • Min. 10 GB free on hard disc
  • Microsoft Windows 2003 incl. Service packs
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition incl. Service packs - (Notice: the database is not part of the software package!)
  • For further server software corresponding additional memory is necessary

Recommendation

  • Pentium IV or Xeon 3.0GHz, 4 GB RAM DDR2, dual processor for more powerful system (above 15 users)
  • 100 GB disc space or more (2 x 36 GB + 2 x 72 GB)
  • Network interface card 100 MBit or faster
  • MS Windows Server 2008 incl. Service packs
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition incl. Service packs (Notice: the database is not part of the software package)
  • Backup software, possibly with SQL-Backup Agent
  • For further server software corresponding additional memory is necessary

For smaller networks it is generally interesting to use MS Windows Server 2008 SBS Premium Edition as here the MS SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition for SBS 2008 is already included.

B. Terminalserver

According to the functionality of the new windows server operating systems (the terminal services of Windows 2003 Server) it is worth to consider to implement such an environment, especially if you have older workstations which are powerful enough for the daily work but not for the new solution. Moreover this solution is often used because of the easy way to administer the network, the software and the security.

So, if you intend to set in terminal services please discuss this solution with your local system solution provider.

Due to performance and security reasons always a separate server should be used for the terminal server. Only if there are not so many users (up to approx. 5 users) a shared server would be a possible solution. However, here the standard security settings for the directories would have to be adapted restrictively.

Recommendation for a separate server:

  • Pentium IV or Xeon, min. 4 GB RAM, dual processor for more than 20 users
  • Mirrored hard disks, approx. 36 GB
  • Network interface card
  • MS Windows Server 2008 or Citrix Metaframe

C. Printer

Minimum requirements

  • 1 unit, with suitable windows driver
  • Connected to the network (e.g. on fileserver, print server)

Recommendation

  • 2 units, with suitable windows driver
  • Laser printers with more trays can be used
  • Connected to the network (e. g. on Fileserver, Print server)

D. Workstation

Minimum requirements

  • Pentium IV, 512 MB (60 MB RAM free for LP-SYSTEM)
  • Graphic card with a resolution of minimum 1024 x 768 pixels
  • Mouse
  • Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
  • Connected to the network
  • For further software corresponding additional memory is necessary

Recommendation

  • Pentium IV, 3 GHz, 512 MB RAM (80 MB free for LP-SYSTEM)
  • 19" TFT Display
  • Network interface card 100 Mbit-system or faster
  • Mouse
  • Graphic card with a resolution of minimum 1280 x 1024 pixels
  • Windows XP Professional with SP3, Windows Vista or Windows 7
  • Connected to the network
  • For further software additional memory has to be considered and our technical stuff should be contacted first

E. Machine control server (only for Online downloading)

Recommendation

Like workstation, but additionally:

  • 17" Colour monitor
  • Serial ports after consultation with LENNERTS & PARTNER GmbH
  • Remote access to the computer via RDP or similar

F. Remote maintenance

  • Use for fileserver, printer, operation-PC

Alternative

  • Online-work or interactive UPS
  • 3000 VA or above
  • Management software for NT
  • Use for complete computer equipment

For new providing or completing the recommended hardware should be taken as basis.

If other software products should be used on the computer so corresponding extensions according to their information have to be considered.

We would like to point out that it would be meaningful to have a certain inventory of replacement hardware in stock, in order to counteract possible breakdowns (e.g. defects, theft).
