NOTE: Minimum requirement must be reserved on virtual servers.
Actual requirements vary depending on number of devices managed, features enabled and usage
load. Note that heavy usage of OCR may have a significant impact on server performance.
Device firmware requirements
To support DSS features, some devices require a minimum revision of firmware. Over time, as new
features become available in DSS, it may be required to update the device firmware for compatibility.
These changes will be documented in detail in the DSS release notes.
