Typical Installation

When you launch the Server Administrator installation from the prerequisite checker and select the Typical Setup

option, the setup program installs the following managed system software features:

• Server Administrator Web Server

• Server Instrumentation

• Storage Management

• Command Line Interface

• WMI

• SNMP

• Operating System Logging

• DRAC Command Line Tools

• Intel SNMP Agent

• Broadcom SNMP Agent

During a Typical installation, individual management station services that do not meet the specific hardware and

software requirement for that service are not installed on the managed systems. For example, the Server Administrator

Remote Access Controller service software module is not installed during a Typical installation unless the managed

system has a remote access controller installed on it. You can, however, go to Custom Setup and select the DRAC

Command Line Tools software module for installation.

NOTE: The Remote Enablement feature is available only through the Custom Setup option.

NOTE: Server Administrator installation also installs some of the required Visual C++ runtime components on

the system.

Custom Installation

The sections that follow describe how to install Server Administrator and other managed system software using the

Custom Setup option.

NOTE: Management station and managed system services can be installed in the same or in different directories.

You can select the directory for installation.
