5 REQUIRED CONFIGURATION

5.1 Required hardware configuration
There are no particular hardware restrictions in terms of PC on using the ALP card and its driver. The
PC can have standard height or low profile PCIe card slots. The ALP card can in particular be used in
2U racks or reduced size PCs, by using the smaller bracket instead of the standard height bracket
that is fitted by default.
A PCI EXPRESS TM (PCIe®) x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot must be available to plug in the card.
The processor power and memory required depend mainly on the operating system and the
applications used on the PC.
Note: The driver of the card reports to the OS that it does not manage the Sleep mode. As a
consequence, the PC should not go to sleep mode.
In case the PC goes to sleep mode under Windows, please proceed as follows to disable the sleep
mode.
The sleep mode for the PCIe bus must be disabled.
Go to Windows Settings, System, and select "Power & sleep".
Select Never" for the option "Put the computer to sleep".
On the same window, click on "Additional power settings".
Click on "Change plan settings" in
front of "Balanced
(recommended)"
