1 Our computer platform and memory recommendations are not meant to imply that older or slower machines are not usable.
Refer to the Network and IT Guidance for the BAS Professional Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011279) for more information
regarding computer/server recommendations.
2 For best performance, use SAS hard drives (not SATA hard drives) that use RAID controllers with write caching enabled.
3 For best performance, use the maximum amount of memory. An ADX with 32 GB RAM has much greater performance than
an ADX with only 16 GB RAM. A 32-bit operating system does not support more than 4 GB of RAM.
4 ADX prerequisite software includes the Windows operating system and SQL Server software, Windows .NET Framework,
and any other software or service packs required for your ADX configuration.
5 The web/application and database servers must have the same operating system installed.
6
Refer to the Network and IT Guidance for the BAS Professional Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011279) for specific Microsoft
Windows operating system settings that may be required for your Metasys system configuration.
7 For SQL Server 2014 software or SQL Server 2012 software, you must purchase a SQL Server software license for each
individual processor core (with a minimum of four core licenses). For example, if you have a single processor with dual cores,
purchase four core licenses (the minimum) for SQL Server 2014 software or SQL Server 2012 software.
8 For SQL Server 2008 R2 software, you must purchase a SQL Server software license for each individual processor you
have. You do not need to purchase multiple licenses if you have a single processor divided into multiple cores. For example,
if you have a single processor with dual cores, purchase one license for SQL Server software.
9 To use SQL Server 2014 with Metasys products, you must install Microsoft cumulative update package 3 (KB2984923) for
SQL Server 2014. To download the update package, visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2984923/.
10 SQL Server software is only included with the MS-ADX50SQL product.
