Operating Systems 67
System Requirements
Server Administrator must be installed on each managed system. You can then manage each system
running Server Administrator locally or remotely through a supported Web browser.
The setup.exe utility calls the Prerequisite Checker on the CD to determine if the system requirements
have been met. (For more information see "Prerequisite Checker.")
Managed System Requirements
• One of the supported operating systems.
• A minimum of 64 MB of RAM.
• A minimum of 256 MB of free hard drive space.
• Administrator rights.
• A TCP/IP connection on the managed system and the Management Station to facilitate remote
system management.
• One of the supported Systems Management Protocol Standards.
• A mouse, keyboard, and monitor to manage a system locally. The monitor must have a minimum
screen resolution of 800 x 600. The recommended screen resolution setting is 1024 x 768.
• The Server Administrator Remote Access Service requires that a remote access controller (RAC) be
installed on the system to be managed. See the
Dell Remote Access Controller 4 User’s Guide or the
Dell Embedded Remote Access Controller/MC User's Guide for complete software and

NOTE: The RAC software is installed as part of the Express Setup and Custom Setup installation options when
installing managed system software from the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD, provided
that the managed system meets all of the RAC installation prerequisites. See "Remote Access Service" and the Dell
Remote Access Controller Installation and Setup Guide or the Dell Embedded Remote Access/MC Controller User's
Guide for complete software and hardware requirements.
• The Server Administrator Storage Management Service requires that Dell OpenManage Storage
Management be installed on the system in order to be properly managed. See the
Dell OpenManage
Server Administrator User's Guide
