Supported Operating Systems

The supported operating systems for Matrix Server 3.4.0 are as follows:

• Windows Server 2003 SP1 Standard or Enterprise Edition (32-bit)

• Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition (32-bit)

• Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition (64-bit)

Installation Procedure

Before starting the installation, be sure to review the configuration and

hardware requirements specified in Chapter 1.

NOTE: Windows 2003 requires that a device have an assigned drive letter

or mount path before it will allow read or write access to a

partition. Consequently, Matrix Server requires that the system

drive (typically C:) be on an NTFS filesystem. This is necessary

because Matrix Server creates mount points on the directory

C:\Program Files\Polyserve\MatrixServer\conf\mounts and only

NTFS filesystems support mount points.

Installation Checklist

Matrix Server must be installed on each server in your matrix. The

installation procedure consists of the following steps, which are

described in detail following this checklist.
