DS NVs Minimum Requirements
DS NVs can be installed on a computer that meets the following minimum
requirements:
•
Industry-Standard, Intel Platform, Server-Grade Motherboard
•
Dual Xeon Processors (32-input system) or Intel P4 3.2GHz Processor
(16-input system or smaller)
•
1GB RAM
•
Dual Gigabit Network Interface Cards (NICs)
•
Microsoft Windows XPe, XP Pro, 2003 Server Operating System
•
7200rpm Hard Drive (minimum of one); can be SCSI or SATA*
•
Drive Controller Card**
•
CD-RW
•
Standalone systems:
20GB available storage for operating system
and applications
•
Distributed systems:
160GB available storage for operating system,
applications, and video storage
*If all video will be stored on the DS NVs server, you must add the appropriate
quantity, speed, and size of drives required to meet the storage requirement. If
the video will be stored on an external storage subsystem, you must also install
a suitable SCSI Card.
**The transmission I/O rate of the Drive Controller Card is important. For best
performance, select a system that has a robust controller card, especially if you
have a high camera count (20–32 IP cameras) or when using high-throughput
cameras (such as iPIX).
