Minimum system hardware requirements

Your system should have at least the following specifications:

• Processor:
  • 4 GHz 64-bit processor.
  • Support for Second Level Address Translation (SLAT) or nested paging. SLAT is a processor technology that is used in virtual-to-physical memory address translation. Both AMD and Intel support SLAT. AMD's implementation is called Rapid Virtualization Indexing (RVI) and Intel's implementation is called Extended Page Tables (EPT).
  • Support for Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and No-Execute (NX). DEP/NX is a processor feature that allows you to mark memory pages as either executable or non-executable. It also allows a processor to help prevent the execution of malicious data being placed into your memory. Note that a 32-bit processor is not supported.
• RAM: 512 MB, although the desirable minimum memory for a server with a GUI is 2 GB.
• Disk/Storage: 32 GB of disk space and a PCI Express storage adapter. Older architectures (such as PATA, ATA, IDE, or EIDE) are not supported.
• Network: PCI Express-compliant Gigabit Ethernet adapter that supports Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE).
