Getting Started

System Requirements

Each computer where DiskSafe Express is installed must have the following:
• One of the following operating systems:
• Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or newer
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Server, or Advanced Server with Service Pack 4
• Microsoft iSCSI Initiator 2.0
Note: For information about downloading and installing this item, refer to the next section,

"Installing the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator."

• 20 MB free hard disk space
Note: DiskSafe Express requires the Intelligent Management Agent (IMA), which is installed
automatically if it is not already installed. IMA requires an additional 5 MB of free hard disk
space (for both the application and associated log file data).
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 is also required and installed automatically if it is not already
installed. The .NET Framework requires approximately 40 MB of additional free hard disk
space.
In addition, if you're using a firewall on the computer that you plant to protect, open TCP port 11762 on the
firewall. This ensures that DiskSafe Express can communicate with the storage system.
