Installation Prerequisites
Before installing Client Instrumentation, make sure:
• You have administrative rights on the client system. This means that you must be authenticated on the client
system as a user who is a member of the Administrators group, typically the Administrator.
• The target system is a Dell system with SMBIOS version 2.3 or later. Otherwise, the Client Instrumentation
installer exits without installing Client Instrumentation.
• The system is running on Microsoft Windows NT based operating systems such as Windows 8.1, Windows 8,
Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
• For Windows XP 64-bit operating systems, .NET Framework 4.0 or later is installed.
Installation Procedure
For information and procedure for installing Client Instrumentation, see the Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation –
Installation Guide, available at support.dell.com/manuals.
Installation and Configuration Notes
• Following an upgrade, it may be necessary to reboot the system for the installation to complete.
• Following an uninstallation, it may be necessary to reboot the system for the uninstallation to complete.
• On some Dell systems, the Processor Logical Processor (HyperThreading) setting in the DCIM_BIOSEnumeration
class displays ‘Enabled’ or ‘Disabled’ even if the installed processor does not support hyperthreading technology.
• In this case, changes to the Processor Logical Processor (HyperThreading) setting may toggle the multi-core
capability on and off, rather than hyperthreading.
• On some Dell systems, the Multiple CPU Cores setting in the DCIM_BIOSEnumeration class displays ‘Enabled’ or
‘Disabled’ even if the installed processor does not support multi-core technology. In this case, changes to the
Multiple CPU Cores are ineffective.
• Change the Auditing object access audit policy to enable Auditing for the desired namespace in Windows Vista.
