If you are installing or upgrading Insight Control server deployment, you
must first install Microsoft WAIK 1.1, also known as the "Automated
Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows Vista SP1 and Microsoft Windows Server
2008." It is available at the Microsoft website.
Installing Insight Control server deployment on Windows OSs localized in
Italian or Spanish requires the English Windows AIK. The localized Italian
or Spanish Windows
AIK does not have support for WinPE IA-64, which is required to install
Insight Control server deployment.

users and tasks. Users of the Insight Control server deployment web interface will require IE7 or 8. Enabling
Compatibility View is required if using IE8. The HP Storage Provisioning Manager requires a Windows-
based browser.
Screen resolution
HP BladeSystem Matrix management software supports a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768. HP
recommends 1280 x 1024.
Supported databases
Insight software requires a supported database on the server that will act as the CMS. If the CMS does not
currently have a supported database installed on it, you must install a database before you begin installing
Insight Software. For your convenience, Insight Software DVD #1 contains Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Express, which you can install before you begin.
