Installing CFM on Windows NT

This chapter includes the following sections:

• System hardware---IBM PC-compatible computer with 400 Mhz or faster processor, color monitor, and CD-ROM drive (ISO 9660 compliant)

• Memory (RAM)---512 MB minimum

• Swap space---1 GB minimum (Swap space should be double the amount of RAM. For example, if your system has 256 MB of RAM, you need 512 MB of swap space.)

• Hard disk space---10 MB minimum

Note Because you launch CFM from CiscoWorks2000 desktop, the memory and swap space requirements provided for the CFM server include the requirements that your system must meet to run CiscoWorks2000 desktop and CFM simultaneously on the same workstation.

• System software---Workstation where the CFM server will be installed must be running Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 or Windows NT Server version 4.0 with Service Pack 5.

• Web browser software---Workstation from which you access the CFM server must be running Netscape Navigator version 4.6.1, 4.7, or later or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0, 5.0.1, or later. Java Virtual Machine version 5.00.317 or later is supported. Java, JavaScript, and Active-X features must be enabled in your web browser.

• Additional software---CiscoWorks2000 CD One must be installed before installing CFM. For more information, see Installing CiscoWorks2000 CD One on Windows NT.

Note You must install CiscoWorks2000 CD One before you can install CFM. If you attempt to install CFM on a workstation that does not contain CiscoWorks2000 CD One, the installation program reminds you that you must install CiscoWorks2000 CD One first.
