OpenLAB Data Store web interface can work without this component. Installing flash provides additional ease of use while uploading files and provides enhanced preview. Centralized File Storage: OpenLAB CDS Networked and Distributed EZChrom Systems support a centralized shared location for the storage and retrieval of Laboratory Files (i.e - Data, Methods, Sequences, Results, Report Templates, etc.). The volume where the share will reside should be sized appropriately to support the files being generated from the Workstations and AIC s. Typical File Sizes are as follows: ~0.4 MB for 60 min. of 2D Data ~150 MB for 60 min. of 3D Data collecting UV Resolution from nm Page 3 of 5

4 Server Software Requirements: Specification Description Supported Operating System (OS): Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 (64-bit) Install Microsoft Hotfix for KB and KB Obtain from Support.Microsoft.com The following localized versions of Windows operating systems may be used: English Chinese (Non-localized instrument drivers are supported and will always appear in English) Japanese (Non-localized instrument drivers are supported and will always appear in English) OS.NET & other Add-ins:.NET 3.5 SP1 (Installed by master installer launch if needed) Windows Installer 4.5 (Installed automatically by master installer if needed) Use Internet Explorer 9 Connect the Data Store Server Drives: Network: Privileges: Printing: IP Address: Virtualization: Citrix: Terminal Services: to the Domain (name resolution required for networked systems) NTFS Files system (2 Drives needed for best performance) TCP/IP Protocol version 4 only; TCPv6 addressing is not supported by OpenLAB CDS, Client for Microsoft Networks, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks. Domain controller hosting the domain connected to by networked system must have a Windows 2003 server operating system or newer. Windows 2000 and previous operating systems will not allow proper operation of a networked CDS system. See OpenLAB CDS Network Requirements guide for detailed specifications During installation a user with Local Administrator permissions is required for installation and configuration of the Data Store Server software. This allows the installer to grant appropriate windows firewall permissions on the correct network profile for successful system operation. Check that a valid Printer Driver is installed on the system and a Test Page prints successfully Static or DHCP Reservation only Virtualization of Data Store Server is not recommended Not supported for use with Data Store Not supported for use with Data Store Page 4 of 5

5 Database: NOTE For performance reasons, it is highly recommended that database files and any transaction logs are stored on physically exclusive hard drives. Agilent OpenLAB CDS Data Store Servers manage information using a database. When deploying networked system configurations this database may require additional installation in order to ensure acceptable performance of the system. The following database software is supported for hosting shared services databases: SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise with SP1 (64-bit) Windows/SQL Mixed Mode Authentication Service Logons must be a user that can access the Domain SQL Server Reporting Services should not be installed as it will conflict with Tomcat Services Licensing Agilent OpenLAB CDS supports the use of a central licensing server for the distribution and tracking of license entitlements. The following software is supported for hosting central licensing services: Flex-Net Publisher v This software is installed with the installation of a shared services server. A single server may be used to host licenses for multiple systems in the same network domain.
