7 January 2013 Page 7 Hardware Upgrades Required for DeltaV v11 or v12 Installation We do not generally require hardware updates as a function of a DeltaV upgrade. We do, however, recommend that this is a good time to replace harddrives and potentially the power supply [for fan replacement] depending on the environment in which the computer is running. There is one required hardware upgrade for a v11.3/v DeltaV upgrade. At this time we are aware of only one computer hardware upgrade that will be required for some computers that may be used as a ProfessionalPlus in v11.3 or later. The computers listed below will require 4 GB of memory to support a ProfessionalPlus workstation in v11.3 or later. (Do not upgrade the memory in a T3500 computer beyond 3 GB as it will negatively impact performance). If you are planning upgrades where the ProfessionalPlus in on one of these computers you should plan to install sufficient additional memory. This memory should be purchased directly from Dell. To determine the correct memory upgrade for your specific computer please go to the Dell Website and use the serial tag information from the installed computer to obtain this memory.
