Hardware and
Software Requirements
Minimum hardware and software requirements for
FactoryLink 8.0 are published in the Installation Guide. While the
software will run on these minimum requirements, they may not be adequate for
satisfactory performance on some systems, especially larger, complex systems.
Because it is impossible to define the exact requirements for each system due to
the flexibility and scalability of FactoryLink and other layered software
involved, we prepared additional guidelines to help you select the best
estimate of system requirements. Your exact requirements may differ slightly
from these guidelines. Hardware
Requirements
-
CPU: Pentium III 650 MHz (or better)
-
CD-ROM drive for installation
-
512 MB RAM
-
XVGA Monitor and graphics processor (1024 x 768, with at least 65K
colors)
-
Keyboard and Pointing Device (mouse, touch screen, or other)
-
Hard drive space: 1 GB or larger for a FactoryLink Client, 2 GB
for a FactoryLink Server. More space is required if you plan to install
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or to keep a large amount of historical data.
Note: These minimum requirements may
not be appropriate for your particular application. Please contact your
authorized Siemens reseller or representative to discuss recommended hardware
and software for your specific needs.
If you install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on the same
machine as the FactoryLink Server, then you should consider using a dual
processor Pentium and increasing the memory by at least 256 MB RAM.

requirements, search the Microsoft online MSDN Library at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library.
