Verify prerequisites

Before you begin your deployment, ensure that the following requirements are met.

If deploying on separate servers, refer to the individual AutoStore, Equitrac, or Output Manager server requirements.

Ensure that the following hardware requirements are met:
  • 8 GB of physical memory available
  • 5 GB of hard disk space available (including SQL server and prerequisites)
  • The CPU is 4 x 2 GHz or greater

Ensure that you have Microsoft SQL Server 2008/2008 Express SP3 or later installed.

Review the supported Unified Client for HP ports in the DRS and client communication ports.
Verify that IE Enhanced Security Configuration is turned off for Administrators in Server Manager > Local Server > IE Enhanced Security Configuration.

Check that your servers and HP devices have a DNS record.
