FarineHPI Installation
This document describes the hardware and software requirements and installation procedure for installing HPI compact and HPI trial versions.
Hardware requirement
HPI supports all current IBM/AT compatible PC platforms. To install and run HPI compact version on a PC there is a minimum hardware requirement which is shown in the following table. Hardware CPU Main Memory Available Hard Disk* For HPI installation SVGA Video Card 256 True Color Minimum Intel Pentium III, 800 MHZ 256 MB 600 MB Recommended Intel Pentium 4, 1GHZ 1 GB 600 MB
* The hard disk on which HPI is installed needs at least 300 MB of free space, but you for each project on the machine you need additional free space for run time data logged by the server as well as the configuration data of the project on the hard drive which you have created the project. The amount of free space needed is completely related to the number of alarms and data logged by the system on every day work. In addition you always need to watch the disk free space to avoid data lost. HPI has a tool called HDW (Historical Data Warehouse) to maintain logged files; but if you dont have it you have to do this task manually. Requirements described above are based on typical applications. In all systems we recommend that the virtual memory allotment be two times the amount of physical memory (RAM) on the system. Specific hardware requirements depend on the size and complexity of your project size. With any application, faster CPU speeds and increased physical memory (RAM) result in better performance.
Software requirement
To install and run HPI on a PC machine, certain requirements for operation system and software configuration must be met. Supported Operating Systems Windows XP Professional SP2 or higher
Microsoft .Net Framework 2 The Microsoft .NET Framework is a software technology that is available with several Microsoft Windows operating systems. It includes a large library of pre-coded solutions to common programming problems and a virtual machine that manages the execution of programs written specifically for the framework. The .NET Framework is a key Microsoft offering and is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform, including HPI. HPI needs Microsoft .NET Framework 2 to work properly, which can be installed from the HPI installation CD supplied.
Windows Server 2003 Administration tools Pack (AdminPack) The Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack (AdminPak) is a program that installs the existing set of server administration tools onto a Windows XP Professional machine or Windows Server 2003 machine. This allows administrators to remotely manage both Windows 2000 as well as Windows Server 2003 servers. Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack can be installed from the HPI installation CD supplied.
Microsoft Excel 2007 Because the HPI reporting is based on Microsoft Excel 2007, to design and get reports on HPI data you need this software installed on your PC. If you dont want to use basic reports of HPI, then you dont need this software.
HPI installation
HPI is delivered on a CD-ROM equipped with an Autorun Program. To start installation, simply insert the CD-ROM into the drive. If the Autorun program does not start, run the Autorun.exe on the CD-Rom. After a brief loading time, if the application cant find required software packages, it will ask to install them; otherwise the following installation dialog will be opened.
