Size of the Partition to be Created

The required minimum size of a partition to install the system can be obtained from the following
formula:
Size required for installation + paging file size + dump file size
Size required for installation
Paging file size (recommended)
Dump file size
IMPORTANT:
The above paging file size is necessary for collecting debug information (memory dump).
If a value smaller than the "Recommended" value is set for the initial size of the paging
file, correct debug information (memory dump) may not be collected.
The maximum paging file size is 4095MB in a partition. If 1.5 times the size of mounted
memory is larger than 4095MB, set the size at 4095MB.
If the size of mounted memory is larger than 2GB, the maximum size of dump file is
"2048MB+12MB."
To install Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 from the Windows Server 2003 Service
Pack CD, hard disk space of 1340MB which is the maximum usage area for installation
is required.
When you are planning to apply Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 but the "dump file
size" is smaller than "1340MB", you need to add "1340MB" instead of the "dump file
size".
(For hard disk area required for installing Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1", see the
Web site of Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1.)
The mounted memory size means the total of memory installed on a single CPU

module.
For example, if memory of 512MB is mounted, the required minimum partition size obtained from
the above formula is as follows:
- When not applying Windows Server 2003 Service Pack:
2900MB + (512MB × 1.5) + (512MB +12MB) = 4192MB
- When applying Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1:
2900MB + (512MB × 1.5) + 1340MB = 5008MB
The maximum usage area for installing SP1 from the SP1 CD.
The minimum partition size you can specify in the ft series setup is 3072MB. The
TIPS:
partition size must be 3072MB or larger for automatic installation. Therefore the size smaller
than 3072MB cannot be specified.
= 2,900MB
= size of memory mounted* × 1.5
= size of memory mounted* + 12MB
