Chapter 5. Hardware Requirements of the SME Server V5 with ServiceLink Host

Computer

The hardware requirements of the SME Server V5 with ServiceLink are modest compared with other server software available today. However,

because of its critical role in your ofﬁce, selecting an appropriate host computer is important. The hardware requirements of the host computer

depend on such things as the number of users on your network, whether you plan to use the proxy server on the server, and the speed of your Internet

connection.

Because the SME Server V5 with ServiceLink software relies upon your computer meeting the hardware standards noted in this section, Mitel

Networks Corporation cannot support a server installed on hardware that does not meet these standards.

Before you consider the requirements deﬁned below, please be aware of the following notes:

• The server ships with the remote access services disabled by default. Enabling webmail will increase the resource requirements of your server, in

particular the memory requirement. Other remote access services, such as ssh and PPTP, are also processor-intensive. You should consider a fast

processor speed if you intend to make signiﬁcant use of these services.

• The server should work with any Pentium, Celeron, AMD or Cyrix processor that can run Red Hat Linux 7.1.

• For a dedicated connection in server and gateway mode, your server requires two ethernet adapters (also called network adapters or network

interface cards). For a dialup connection or server-only mode, one ethernet adapter is needed.

• SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) is a system for adding peripherals to a computer which enhances performance, reliability and

scalability. If you are using a SCSI system, you will need a speciﬁc adapter/driver (installed similarly to an ethernet adapter) and will need to

purchase SCSI-enabled peripherals. These tend to be more expensive than their non-SCSI counterparts but the tradeoff is often worth it if the

system will be under heavy loads.

Note: Our hardware recommendations only apply to servers with up to 500 users. This is not a technical limitation, and the SME Server V5 with

ServiceLink can provide services to more than 500 users. In that case, we suggest that you specify a custom system using our Category 4

requirements as the minimum starting point.

5.1. Hardware Requirements for a Category 1 Server

The following information outlines what we consider the minimum system that can give satisfactory performance as a basic ﬁle/print server and

network gateway. Note that we do not believe such a system will provide satisfactory performance for features such as webmail, remote access via

PPTP and for ServiceLink offerings such as automatic virus protection and IPSEC VPNs.

Table 5-1. Deﬁnition of a Category 1 Server

# of Users Up to 10

Usage Light (minimal use of remote access, ﬁle sharing and other disk-intensive activity. No use of webmail, virus

scanning or VPNs.)

Table 5-2. Hardware Requirements for a Category 1 Server

Architecture PCI-based Pentium-class processor

Processor speed 90 MHz (or better)

Minimum RAM 32 MB (64 MB recommended)

Hard drive IDE or SCSI - at least 1 GB

SCSI adapter SCSI adapter must appear on the supported list (only necessary for SCSI systems)

Ethernet adapters The ethernet adapters installed on your server must appear on the supported list.

Modem (for dialup only) Only modems that are Linux-compatible may be used. WinModems are not supported.

CD-ROM drive ATAPI or SCSI

Floppy drive any

Monitor any

Graphics card any

Mouse none required
