ChemStation Plus Security Pack — System Requirements
Client hardware requirements
The following list shows the mini-
mum hardware requirements for
this application:
• 400-MHz Pentium II (Pentium
IV recommend)
• 4 GByte of free hard disk space
• 96 MB RAM for single Chem-
Station instrument. 128 MB is
recommended for best perfor-
mance, for Windows 2000 mini-
mum requirement is 128 MB.
• 128 MB RAM for two Chem-
Station instruments (256 MB or
more is recommended for best
performance)
• Display: 1024 × 768; small fonts;
65-thousand colors
Client software requirements
The following list shows the mini-
mum software requirements for
this application:
• Windows NT Workstation 4.0
with Service Pack 6a or Win-
dows 2000 Professional with
Service Pack 2
• Agilent ChemStation revision
A.09.03 or later
• Microsoft Internet Explorer
4.01 or later
• Microsoft data access
components (MDAC) 2.5 will be
installed on your system. If you
already use a later version of
MDAC, or require for compati-
bility reasons a previous version,
please contact your Agilent sup-
port representative for compati-
bility information.
• A local or network printer must
be installed and configured.
• The hard disk partition that is
used for installation of Method
Validation Pack must be format-
ted with NTFS.
The standalone database size is
limited to 800 MB due to some
strict size limitations in the under-
lying file format. To ensure opti-
mum performance for later data
review Agilent strongly recom-
mends not to exceed this database
size limit. A configurable size-
checking tool automatically
launches a warning message when
the specified size limit is reached.
If a larger single database is
required, Agilent recommends that
the client/server version of
the product be purchased. The
client/server database uses Oracle,
which allows for a much larger
database. Table 9 gives some data
on the time of downloading data
from the standalone database into
the active memory of the client.
The time mainly depends on the
size of the standalone database
and the number of runs marked
for download. All runs were stored
with raw data, methods and
sequences. The PC used for the
test was below the recommended
configuration (Kayak PIII, 450
MHz, 128 MB, and no data acquisi-
tion running).

Run download time depending on the number of runs selected for download and
the database size.
• Four levels of audit-trails for
data acquisition, data analysis
application tasks and secu-
rity violations.
• Electronic signatures for each
result version following the
guidelines of 21 CFR Part 11.
