Other hardware requirements

If you plan to install the RICOH ProcessDirector base product using physical DVDs, choose one of these options:
- Use a DVD drive that is installed in either the primary or the secondary computer. In this case, you run the installation programs from the DVDs or CDs.
- Use a DVD drive on another UNIX-based system in your network. In this case, you copy the installation program and supporting files into a remote location on a UNIX-based system in your network and use the network installation procedure to install RICOH ProcessDirector.
  - Due to operating system incompatibilities, you cannot use a DVD drive on a Windows system to copy the files into a staging location on a Linux computer.
  You can either copy the installation program and supporting files onto the primary computer, the secondary computer, or onto a separate file server.
- Features are included with the base product, but updated features might be provided on DVDs, CDs, or as ISO images.
If you plan to install using ISO files or by copying installers to a system in your network, the directory that you store the installers in must have sufficient room for the downloaded files:
- Mount the ISO image to the server that you plan to install on. For instructions about how to mount an ISO file, see Mounting an ISO file.
- The ISO Downloads page on the Ricoh website specifies how much space is required for each package. See Downloading installation files for more details.

If you install the PDF Document Support feature, the RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat must run on a Windows computer. See RICOH ProcessDirector: Installing Document Processing Features, G550-20312, for hardware requirements.
