2System requirements
Each PC in your system must meet minimum software and hardware requirements to
ensure successful installation and operation of AMS Device Manager. System
interface networks and SNAP-ON applications may have additional requirements.
Hardware requirements
PC processing speed, memory, and disk space
The recommended free hard disk space specified below is the amount needed for AMS
Device Manager installation, not the amount needed for daily operation (there are no
recommended minimum amounts for daily operation). If you receive a message
during installation that you do not have enough hard disk space, free up as much
space as possible and then retry the installation.
If you use AMS Asset Portal version 3.2, for optimal performance, it should be
installed on a non-AMS Device Manager PC. If you choose to co-deploy with AMS
Device Manager, the PC must meet the requirements above.

Notes:
Additional hard disk space is required for migrating the database if you are upgrading from
an earlier version of AMS Device Manager. The amount of space required depends on the
size of the existing database.
Additional space may be required on the Server Plus Station for the database, depending
on the size of your database.
Additional hard disk space is required for SNAP-ON applications.
Set virtual memory to 2—3 times the size of the physical memory.
