2.1 Basic Hardware Requirements
The basic hardware requirements for this release are:
• Processor: See Table 1 for processor recommendations.
• Memory: 512 MB to 2 GB of RAM, depending on channel density and resource 
configuration.
Note:  A minimum of 2 GB of RAM is required when running Dialogic
®
 HMP 
Software on Windows
®
 7 or Windows Server
®
 2008. 
• Kernel Memory: Nonpaged: Dialogic
®
 HMP Software uses this space for allocating 
memory for its resources. Nonpaged memory requirements do not include the 
operating system. Operating system usage varies based on system drivers. The 
Dialogic
®
 HMP Software requires above 200 MB of non-paged memory or system 
performance may show degradation or failure (Dialogic
®
 Configuration Manager 
(DCM) will not start). 
Note: Under Windows
®
 7 and later, the non-paged memory limit has been 
increased due to optimizations by Microsoft.
• Disk Space: 500 MB of disk space is required for full installation of Dialogic
®
 HMP 
Software Release 3.0WIN. For multimedia recording, disk space depends on the 
application program, but can be estimated using the following guidelines:
– 160 KB required for 10 seconds of audio at maximum of 128 kbps bit rate (linear 
PCM format)
– 160 KB required for 10 seconds of video at maximum of 128 kbps bit rate
– 80 KB required for 10 seconds of video at maximum of 64 kbps bit rate
• HPET Timer: A system with an HPET Timer is required when using Dialogic
®
 HMP 
Software with Windows
®
 7 or Windows Server
®
 2008. For the most desirable results, 
select systems that have BIOS support for the HPET Timer. Dialogic provides an 
HPETTOOL utility to assist in determining motherboard compatibility. Refer to the 
Dialogic
®
 HMP Software Release 3.0WIN Software Installation Guide for instructions 
about using this utility.
