52 Installing Management Station Software
NOTE: During an Express installation, individual Management Station services will not be installed on managed
systems that do not meet the specific hardware and software requirements for that service. For example, the Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator Remote Access Service software module will not be installed during an
Express installation unless the managed system has an installed remote access controller. A user, however, can go
to Custom Setup and select the Remote Access Service software module for installation.
When you select the Custom Setup option, you can deselect one or more software features that the
setup program has identified as appropriate for the installed options on the system. During an Express
Setup, you cannot add to the list of features to install because all of the features that are appropriate for
the hardware configuration are pre-selected.
The sections that follow illustrate the Custom Setup option using an install and upgrade of IT Assistant
as an example. You can install other Management Station software using the Custom Setup option.
