Installation requirements

IMC Standard edition uses the embedded database of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express. IMC dedicated edition does not provide an embedded database. Because the embedded database supports only limited data size (a maximum size of 10 G for each database), use SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition. To ensure stable IMC performance, make sure IMC manages no more than 1000 devices.

Before installing SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express, install the software .Net Framework 2.0 SP2 first. The embedded database setup programs do not install the software automatically. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads to download the software.

	NOTE: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express can be installed only in the partition where Windows is installed and it requires about 500 MB of free disk space. SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express can be installed on the following operating systems: Windows XP SP3, Windows 2003 SP2, Windows 2003 R2 SP2, Windows 2008 SP2, Windows 7, and Windows 2008 R2.
