User Workstation Hardware Requirements

For full functionality and performance, the workstations to be managed by ZENworks Desktop Management require the following minimum amounts of processing power, disk space, and RAM on the desktop machines where the Desktop Management Agent will be installed:

Resource	Minimum Free Disk Space	Minimum Hardware Requirement
User workstation; complete Desktop Management Agent installation	20 MB	Pentium-compatible processor (32-bit only), 200 MHz; 64 MB of RAM

IMPORTANT:  ZENworks Desktop Management is not supported on the NEC* 9800 (also known as PC98) series of personal computers.

Workstations where Preboot Services will be installed require the following:

Specification	Minimum Requirement
Processor	Pentium, 75 MHz or faster
Network Card	PXE-enabled. (If the network card cannot be PXE-enabled, the workstation can be booted with a PXE-on-Disk boot diskette.)
Available Disk Space	None required
RAM	16 MB; 128 MB recommended if Workstation Imaging is to be used on the workstation
Graphics Display	VGA; 16-bit color

A standard DHCP server must already be installed, either on the same server where you are installing Preboot Services or on another server in the network, before you install Preboot Services.

If the standard DHCP server is on the same server where you are installing Preboot Services (specifically, the Proxy DHCP component), you must set option tag 60 in DHCP services. For more information, see "Setting Up Standard DHCP and Proxy DHCP Services on a NetWare 6.x DHCP Server" and "Setting up Standard DHCP and Proxy DHCP Services on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Administration Guide.
