11-4 Performance and Capacity Specifications
Client Platform Requirements
Application Usage
Server configuration memory allocations assume Server services only. Client
memory usage already includes the ProcessLogix Client Applications.
However, most applications can be run on either the Servers or Station Clients.
On minimum to typical systems, these applications may be run on the Server
Platforms. On performance systems, the Servers should be dedicated to
running only the Server Services. On these systems, when possible, all
applications should be run from the Client stations.
Using the Platform Requirements Tables 11.B and 11.C as a base for memory
usage, add on the memory requirements for each of the applications from the
Application RAM Usage. Table 11.C is intended to be used on a regular
basis.

(1) This Operating System is not optimal for hosting client applications. It may not be possible to configure server grade hardware to meet the requirements listed.
(2) In these configurations, paging may occur on these systems. Based on the intended usage of the platform, this configuration is acceptable. For better performance,
users should upgrade the systems with an additional 128 MB of RAM.
(3) We suggest that you upgrade to 100 Mb Ethernet Networking.
TIP
Failure to add additional memory may result in degradation
of system performance.
