3.1 General preparations
Before installing R&S Trusted Disk on a workstation, we recommend making the fol-
lowing preparations:
●
To prevent users from having access to mounted R&S Trusted Disk volumes of
other users, disable Windows fast user switching.
●
For maximum compatibility, we highly recommend updating the BIOS/UEFI firm-
ware to the newest version.
3.2 Installing the middleware and dependencies
All workstations need the following middleware and dependencies to run R&S Trus-
ted Disk.
You need to install the middleware and dependencies in the right order for R&S Trus-
ted Disk to run properly.
