When you insert the Dell Systems Management Consoles CD in your system's CD drive, the setup program runs the Prerequisite Checker to provide information
about your system's hardware and software that might affect installation and operation of the features.

1. Launch the Management Station installation.
2. Click Install, Modify, Repair or Remove Management Station and click Next.
3. Select the Typical Setup option.

by default and can be installed using the Custom Setup option. (For more information about how to perform a Typical Setup, see the Software Quick
Installation Guide, which you can access by clicking Info on the task bar within the setup program.)
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 a Typical 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.
