For questions about the hardware requirements for individual compo- nent products, customers should consult the HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS sec- tion of individual component SPDs. Memory Requirements The minimum supported memory for installation of Compaq NAS Server 300 for OpenVMS Alpha Systems, with all components and subcomponents in- stalled, is 32 MB. The performance and memory usage of Compaq NAS Server 300 for Open- VMS Alpha and applications based on it are particularly sensitive to system configuration. Full configuration of all subcomponents may re- quire memory in excess of the minimum quoted. Additional memory may also be required based on system loading and usage patterns of the com- ponents. More or less memory may be required depending on whether clients and servers execute on the same system or on different systems. Additional memory may also improve performance of one or more components. Refer to the component SPDs and installation guides for detailed in- formation about memory usage by components and subcomponents of the Compaq NAS Server 300. Disk Space Requirements When installing the complete set of components of Compaq NAS Server 300 for OpenVMS Alpha, customers must have a minimum of 574 MB of disk space available. This count refers to the disk space required on the system disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary depending on the customer's system environment, configuration, and software options. For example, actual disk space required may be less if the customer does not in- stall some components or subcomponents. Customers may require addi- tional disk space to create or expand component databases or to cre- ate user files. 6 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS OpenVMS Alpha Operating System Version 7.1 or higher version GROWTH CONSIDERATIONS The minimum hardware/software requirements for any future version of this product may be different from the requirements for the current version.
