Configuring CMS
Minimum Hardware Configuration
The minimum PC requirement is a Pentium processor running at 233 MHz with 64 MB of DRAM. The
minimum UNIX workstation requirement is a Sun Ultra 1 running at 143 MHz with 64 MB of DRAM.
Table 3-2 lists the minimum platforms for running CMS.
Operating System and Browser Support
You can access the CMS interface by using the operating systems and browsers listed in Table 3-3. CMS
checks the browser version when starting a session to ensure that the browser is supported.
Browser Plug-In Requirements
You need to install a browser plug-in to run CMS.
Windows
For Windows platforms, the CMS plug-in is required to run CMS. For more information about the CMS
plug-in, including the URL, see the “Software Compatibility” section in the release notes.
Note If you need to both upgrade your web browser and install the CMS plug-in, you must upgrade your
browser first. If you install the CMS plug-in and then upgrade your browser, the plug-in is not registered
with the new browser.
