100 Installing Managed System Software on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
NOTE: During installation of Server Administrator on supported Windows systems,
if an Out of Memory error message displays, you must exit the installation and free
up memory. Close other applications or perform any other task that will free up
memory, before re-attempting Server Administrator installation.
Typical and Custom Installations
The Dell OpenManage installer features a Typical Setup option and a
Custom Setup option for installing Server Administrator and other managed
system software.
The setup program calls the Prerequisite Checker, which uses your system's
PCI bus to search for installed hardware such as controller cards.
When you launch the Server Administrator installation from the Prerequisite
Checker and select the Typical Setup option, the setup program installs all of
the managed system software features that are appropriate for your particular
system's hardware configuration. For more information about how to perform
a Typical Setup, see the Quick Installation Guide. You can access the Quick
Installation Guide by clicking Quick Install Guide on the menu bar within
the Prerequisite Checker user interface.
During a Typical installation, individual management station services are not
installed on managed systems that do not meet the specific hardware and
software requirements for that service. For example, the Dell OpenManage
Server Administrator Remote Access Controller service software module will
not be installed during a Typical installation unless the managed system has a
remote access controller installed on it. You can, however, go to Custom
Setup and select the Remote Access Controller software module
for installation.
When you select the Custom Setup option, you can deselect one or more
software features that the install program has identified as appropriate for the
installed options on the system. During a Typical Setup, you cannot add to
the list of features to install because all the features that are appropriate for
the hardware configuration are preselected. The Server Administrator Storage
Management Service is installed by default during Typical Setup.
NOTE: Server Administrator installation also installs some of the required
Visual C++ runtime components on your system.
