 Component  
 Description  
Hard disk partitioning  
The server PC hard disk should be divided into two NTFS partitions. The main partition C should have a capacity of at least 4 GB and should be reserved for the operating system and the HiPath 5000 software.  
For safety reasons, partitioning with the format FAT 16/32 is not permitted.  
Hardware  
Make sure that no unnecessary hardware is connected to the server PC; any sound cards should be removed.  
Access privileges  
To install HiPath 5000, you must log on to the operating system with administrator rights or, if necessary, log on as the server domain administrator.  
LAN integration  
Check to ensure that the server PC has been correctly integrated in the customer LAN (see Section 6.5.2 "Integrating the HiPath 5000 Server in the Customer LAN").  
Miscellaneous  
All applications running in the background must be closed prior to software installation.
