Software Requirements
=====================
• One of the supported operating system and web browsers.
• TCP/IP connection on the managed system and the remote system to facilitate remote system
management.
• One of the supported systems management protocol standards. For more information, see
"Supported Systems Management Protocol Standards".
• The Server Administrator Remote Access Controller service requires remote access controller (RAC)
to be installed on the managed system. See the relevant Dell Remote Access Controller User’s
Guide for complete software and hardware requirements.
NOTE: The RAC software is installed as part of the Typical Setup installation option, provided the
managed system meets all of the RAC installation prerequisites.
• The Server Administrator Storage Management Service requires Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator to be installed on the managed system. See the Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator Storage Management User’s Guide for complete software and hardware
requirements.
• Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) version 3.1 or later.
NOTE: Dell OpenManage software detects the MSI version on your system. If the version is lower than 3.1,
the prerequisite checker prompts you to upgrade to MSI version 3.1. After upgrading the MSI to version 3.1,
you may have to reboot the system to install other software applications such as Microsoft SQL Server.

Installation and Configuration Notes
====================================
This section provides information to help enhance your experience with Server Administrator, particularly,
implementations and environments.
• Port 1311 is the default port for Server Administrator. It is a registered port number of Dell Inc. If
another application is configured to run on port 1311 before Server Administrator is installed, the
DSM SA Connection Service does not start after installation. Before you install Server
Administrator, make sure that the port 1311 is not in use.
• Before starting Server Administrator, you must enable the client-side scripting in Internet Explorer.
To do so, perform the following steps:
1. In Internet Explorer, navigate to the "Tools" menu.
2. Click "Internet Options".
