Free disk space
-
The computer where you install SmartPlant Instrumentation should have free disk space sufficient for the installation.
-
The Windows temporary file location (commonly located on the C drive), needs to have a minimum of 4 GB for the temporary files SmartPlant Instrumentation copies before the installation begins.

Network performance — Most databases operate on local networks. Therefore, the local network data transfer rate significantly influences the overall performance of the database platform and SmartPlant InstrumentationSmartPlant Instrumentation. For this reason, if the local network under-performs, install SmartPlant Instrumentation on the local station to be able to work faster with SmartPlant Instrumentation features.

Before you start the installation process, make sure that your computer (file server or local station) has access to a CD-ROM or DVD drive. If your machine does not have access to a suitable drive, you need to copy all the installation files from the installation media to your local hard disk.
If you are upgrading from an existing installation, you must uninstall SmartPlant Instrumentation before installing the newer version. It is important that all components installed with SmartPlant Instrumentation, for
example Rule Manager, Import Utility, Enhanced Reports Utility and so forth, are closed
before you attempt to remove (uninstall) SmartPlant Instrumentation.
