Hardware Requirements IZ-DOC-X86-0016 Hardware Requirements This section lists hardware requirements for the RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 release. HAL Type To use the RTX Subsystem, your system must support one of the following HAL types: Windows Device Manager Standard PC Registry Resource Map PC Compatible EISA/ISA HAL Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC ACPI Compatible EISA/ISA HAL ACPI Uniprocessor PC ACPI Multiprocessor PC ACPI x86-based PC Supported Network Adapters ACPI 1.0 - APIC Platform UP ACPI 1.0 - APIC Platform MP ACPI x86 Platform The RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 release provides support for a number of network adapters. For the most up-to-date list, click the link titled Download the RTX Supported Network Interface Cards PDF file on this web site: http://www.intervalzero.com/support.htm Hardware Considerations Some hardware configurations are not supported by RTX installations. When RTX can detect these unsupported configurations they are indicated with a popup error message. Although RTX runs on most x86 platforms, unique attributes of some processors require special consideration before selecting them as a target system. For a comprehensive list of approved and supported hardware, see the Microsoft Windows Logo Program web page: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/whql/default.mspx Problems with Microsoft WinDbg on AMD Opteron Dual-core AMD64 hardware When using Windows versions prior to Windows Vista on AMD Opteron Dual-core AMD64 hardware, the system may exhibit unstable behavior. This behavior can be seen when trying to use Windows WinDbg to break into and step through Windows drivers due to incorrect context registers. IntervalZero recommends using Windows 7 or Windows Vista as your base OS when using one of these AMD systems. On Dell Latitude D420 with Core Duo U2500 CPU systems, the RTSS subsystem will suffer a large decrease in performance if the following conditions exist: 5
IZ-DOC-X86-0016 Hardware Requirements Intel SpeedStep is enabled. Prevent Windows idle state is unchecked on the Hardware tab in the RTX Properties control panel. Latency causing devices are not disabled. PCI express video controllers can cause jitter (large latencies) within an RTX application (3228). Workarounds for this problem are to: Select /BASEVIDEO in the boot.ini to use standard VGA display driver, or Disable all DirectDraw and Direct3D acceleration in Display Control Panel. Click the Settings tab, then Advanced, then Troubleshoot. The NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE video driver causes long latencies on Vista systems and should be disabled (5837). The properties are: Driver file: nvlddmkm.sys Driver version: 7.15.10.9746 Date: 12.7.2006 This problem is also seen on Windows 7 systems which use both the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE card and the NVIDIA Quadro FX1700 card with properties (1220): Driver file: nvlddmkm.sys Driver version: 8.15.11.8593 Date: 05.14.2009 Note: If you disable this video driver using the RTX control panel, your display turns black and you must reboot. If you remove the driver using the Windows control panel, no reboot is required. On certain Dell dual-processor systems with the Intel Xeon chip sets (for example, Dell 650, Dell 670), the maximum timer delivery latency for a periodic RTX timer in Dedicated Mode is doubled under intensive video activities. Investigation results show that the high latency is inherited from the hardware. 6
Software Requirements IZ-DOC-X86-0016 Software Requirements This section lists software requirements for the RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 release. Operating System Requirements The RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 Runtime and SDK are supported on the 32-bit configurations listed in the table below. The RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 SDK can be installed on a 64-bit Windows system, and that system can be used for development and to host the debugging of a target machine. However, you cannot install the Runtime Subsystem, as it is not supported on a 64-bit operating system.

Otherwise, the RTX Embedded Runtime must be used. 7
IZ-DOC-X86-0016 Software Requirements 4 Windows Embedded Standard 7 system must support MSI installation to allow RTX to be installed. For the most up-to-date list, click the link titled Download the RTX Operating System Compatibility Matrix PDF file on the web site http://www.intervalzero.com/support.htm. Note: RTX Windows XP Embedded and Windows Embedded Standard 2009 support, through Microsoft Windows Embedded Studio, is provided in a separate installer. Retired Operating System Support Starting with RTX 2009, IntervalZero discontinued RTX support for Windows 2000. Microsoft Visual Studio Requirements (SDK Only) The RTX 2011 SDK requires that you have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2005 installed if you wish to build or debug RTX programs with the Visual Studio IDE. Beginning with RTX 2011, IntervalZero has discontinued support for Visual Studio.NET 2003. Administrator Privileges Administrator privileges are required for installing, uninstalling, and using the RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 product. If you are installing on a Windows 7 or Vista system with User Account Control activated, your application will not be run with your full permissions unless you choose to run them as an administrator. RTX avoids this problem by providing a User Account Control Override service. If you do not want to override this Windows functionality you can disable it by doing following: During the RTX installation you will have the option to deselect the RTX User Account Control Override Service. If you do not install, or if you disable the RTX User Account Control Override service, non-administrative users will not be allowed to run RTSS applications. 8
Installation Warnings IZ-DOC-X86-0016 Installation Warnings Depending upon your system configuration, you may encounter installation warnings. They can be ignored, as explained below, and the installation should still proceed successfully. "Setup was unable to interface with the power management service. Please note that an RTX-Compatible power configuration will not be created. See the RTX Installation Guide for detail on the RTX Recommended Power State." If the power management feature is not a part of your Windows 7-Based Windows Embedded Standard 7 target image, then the installer will not be able to implement the RTX Recommended Power State. This should not affect functionality as the preferred power state for RTX is to have all power management features disabled. "Could not register type library for C:\Program Files\IntervalZero\RTX\ tools\platformevaluator\cfx4032.ocx. Contact your support personnel." On some Windows Embedded Standard systems, a warning could appear during installation noting that the ActiveX control used for Platform Evaluator could not be registered. This warning can be avoided by de-selecting the Platform Evaluator feature from the Custom Setup selections or it can be ignored. 9
IZ-DOC-X86-0016 Installing RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 Installing RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 This release is provided as a downloadable file from the IntervalZero Web site. The installation program walks you through the installation process. Additional Installation Options In addition to the installation described in this document, the RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 Runtime is also available in the following installation types: Silent RTX Runtime RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 can be installed silently. The silent installation can be invoked from the command line or used within your own product installation so as not to require user interaction during the installation process. The RTX Silent Installer can also be added as a Distribution Share component using the Windows Embedded Standard 7 Image Configuration Editor (ICE). For more information, see the Silent Installation Guide for RTX 2011. Embedded RTX Runtime The RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 Runtime is provided as a Source Level Definition (SLD) that supports Windows XP Embedded and Windows Embedded Standard 2009. This support is provided in a separate installer and is also available as an evaluation version. Merge Modules for RTX Runtime Features The RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 Runtime components are available as merge modules that can be included in the installation of an OEM product. A separate installation places merge modules on the system for your use. The merge modules are also available as an Evaluation version. Before You Begin Before beginning the installation, do the following: Verify that your configuration meets the system requirements described earlier in this document. You must have administrator privileges on your system. Log on with administrator privileges or start using Run as Administrator. If you are upgrading from a version prior to RTX 2009, you must uninstall any previous versions before installing the new version.

In the Boot Configuration screen, configure the number of RTX and Windows processors and choose a Configuration Mode, or accept the defaults. Then click Next. Shared mode is supported on systems that: o o Have eight or fewer processors Do not have processor clustering automatically set by the hardware. Dedicated mode is supported on systems that have up to 32 processors. o If your system has more than eight processors, or if clustering is required by the hardware in a system with eight or fewer processors, RTX will automatically configure the system to run in Dedicated (Cluster) mode. Number of Windows processors: o In Dedicated (Cluster) mode, a maximum of four processors can be dedicated to Windows. Number of RTSS processors: 12
Installing RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 IZ-DOC-X86-0016 o The RTX product supports up to 32-processors. This line will also show the maximum number of licensed processors. Edition options allow up to 31 processors to be licensed to be dedicated to RTSS. See Modifications to the Boot Configuration for more information. 13. In the Ready to Install the Program screen, select whether you want Desktop Icons and/or Start Menu Icons and then click Install. 14. If prompted, install the drivers: a. Click Install to install the RTX Plug and Play driver. (Windows 7 or Vista) b. Click Install to install the RTX Virtual Network Adapter. 15. Click Finish in the installation Completed screen. 16. When you are prompted, click Yes to reboot your computer. If you have a multiprocessor machine, choose the boot configuration at system startup: [Operating System] - RTX Dedicated Note: The RTX Properties control panel will not provide completely accurate information until you reboot your system. Modifications to the Boot Configuration On multiprocessor (MP) systems, the RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 installation process modifies the boot configuration to contain an additional RTX Dedicated option. It does this by first checking to see how many processors are known to the operating system. If it detects more than one processor, it creates a new boot configuration for RTX Dedicated, based on the current configuration. If the installation determines that processor clustering is enabled (either because there are more than eight processors, or because a system with eight or fewer processors has hardware enforced clustering) then an initial dedicated configuration will assign four processors (the maximum allowable) to Windows and the rest to RTX. If the installation determines that more than one processor is present in the system, but clustering is not enabled, then an initial dedicated configuration will assign one processor to RTX and the remaining processors to Windows. On boot up, you must select the Microsoft [Windows Version] - RTX Dedicated configuration. For example, Microsoft Windows XP Professional - RTX Dedicated. If you boot into another configuration and attempt to use RTX, you will encounter a popup warning that RTX is not configured for the current configuration. The boot configuration modifications that occur depend upon the type of operating system that you are running (Windows 7, Vista or XP) and the state of the current boot configuration. On a uniprocessor system, the only valid configuration is Shared, with 1 RTSS Processor and 1 RTX processor. 13
IZ-DOC-X86-0016 Installing RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 On a multiprocessor system without clustering, Shared or Dedicated may be specified. If using a shared configuration, there can only be 1 RTSS processor. The number of Windows processors can be anywhere between 1 and the number of cores on the system. In Dedicated mode, the number of Windows processors and RTSS processors must not exceed the number of cores on the system. RTSS processors must not exceed the number licensed. On a multiprocessor machine with clustering, only Dedicated mode is supported. The number of Windows processors must be between 1 and 4. Since Windows and RTSS can t share a cluster, the number of RTSS processors cannot exceed the total number of processors minus 4. RTSS processors must not exceed the number licensed. Notes: RTX configuration is setup via the RTX Control Panel or RTX Properties API and must not be modified or removed. When upgrading from RTX 2009, an extra boot configuration line may be created. Viewing the Release Notes after Installation Each component has release notes installed as part of its product and can be accessed by selecting IntervalZero > RTX 2011 > RTX Documentation and then Release Notes from the Start menu. 14
Verifying the Installation of RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 IZ-DOC-X86-0016 Verifying the Installation of RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 After RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 has been installed and the system has been rebooted, you can run the System Response Time Measurement (SRTM) utility to verify that the installation was successful. To run SRTM: 1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the <RTXDIR>\bin directory. Note: If you accepted the installation defaults, this location is: C:\Program Files\IntervalZero\RTX\bin 2. Run SRTM by double-clicking the srtm.rtss executable. You should hear a steady 1 KHz tone for 15 seconds and a histogram of the system s response time measurements should appear on the screen.

IZ-DOC-X86-0016 Appendix A: Licensing Appendix A: Licensing When a purchase order is processed, a Purchase Authentication Code (PAC) is assigned to each product license purchase. The list of PACs is then sent in an email that describes how to generate your per-machine license key from the IntervalZero Web site. During the installation of a per-machine RTX license, you must have a connection to our Web site to generate a license key specific to the product Purchase Authentication Code (PAC) and machine. Site/OEM licensing is to be used by companies that distribute IntervalZero software bundled with their own software, or those who purchase a site license for their organization. Installation via site/oem licensing does not require an Internet connection to the IntervalZero website. The following section discusses this product licensing methodology. Key Retrieval Installing RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 with a per-machine license requires three pieces of information: Purchase Authentication Code (PAC) - Provided by IntervalZero after an order is processed. The PAC indicates that a product license has been purchased. It serves as a token associated with each product license purchase. Machine Information - Generated at the time of installation by the product installation, based on system information. License Key - Machine-specific license key derived from the Purchase Authentication Code and the system specific machine information. The license key is generated for you by IntervalZero. The RTX per-machine license key can be obtained from IntervalZero in two ways: Automatic License Key Generation or Manual License Generation Automatic License Key Generation If the target system is connected to the Internet, then automatic key generation is possible. The product installation extracts machine information and automatically accesses the IntervalZero Web site to get the License Key. 20
Appendix A: Licensing IZ-DOC-X86-0016 You are prompted for your contact information and the Purchase Authentication Code at the IntervalZero Web site. The license key is derived from the Purchase Authentication Code. This per-machine license key is then used to complete the installation of the RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 product. You will also receive a copy of the License Key transaction in an e-mail containing your contact information, Purchase Authentication Code, the machine information, and the License Key. Save this information as it may be needed if the product is reinstalled or relocated. Manual License Key Generation If the system is not connected to the Internet, automatic key generation is not possible and key generation must be done manually. The product installation extracts machine information and displays the information that will be required to generate a license key. You must go to the following IntervalZero web site: For a purchased edition, license key generation can be done at: https://licensing.intervalzero.com/licensing.aspx For an evaluation edition, license key generation can be done at: https://licensing.intervalzero.com/evallicensing.aspx When prompted, enter the requested Purchase Authentication Code, Machine ID and Email Address. You will receive the License Key in a browser window; you are also sent an e-mail listing your contact information, Purchase Authentication Code, machine information and the License Key. The License Key can then be entered manually during the product installation. Product Relocation If you must move the product installation to another system for any reason (for example, replacing a development system, a machine is unavailable because it needs repair, and so on), you may relocate your software by generating a replacement License Key. To request a "Replacement License" you must contact IntervalZero Sales. 21
IZ-DOC-X86-0016 Appendix B: System Modifications During Installation Appendix B: System Modifications During Installation The RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 installation process performs several system modifications. This section describes the modifications that are made and why they are necessary. RTX-Recommended Power State on Machines RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 does not support Windows 7 or Vista hibernation or hybrid sleep. These features must be disabled to provide real-time performance. To facilitate this process, the RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 installer creates and enables a new power state on your machine ( RTX-Recommended ) with the proper settings. See the next two topics for details. Before creating and enabling the RTX-recommended power state, the installer clones your machine s existing power state. During an uninstall, the RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 installer reactivates the original power state and deletes the RTX-Recommended state. RTX-Recommended Basic Settings When using RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 it is recommended that power management is set such that the display/monitor is never turned off and the computer is never put to sleep/hibernate. RTX-Recommended Advanced Settings Category Hard disk Sleep PCI Express Settings Turn off hard disk after = Never Sleep After = Never Allow hybrid sleep = Off Hibernate after = Never Link State Power Management = Off Processor power management Minimum processor state = 100% Maximum processor state = 100% On laptops, both AC and DC behaviors are set for all of the RTX-Recommended Basic and RTX-Recommended Advanced settings. To view a power state s settings: 1. From the Start menu, choose Control Panel. 2. Click System and Maintenance (for Windows 7, click Hardware and Sound) and then click Power Options. 22
Appendix B: System Modifications During Installation IZ-DOC-X86-0016 3. View the settings for the power scheme you will be using and change if necessary. 4. View and, if necessary, change advanced power settings. 23
IZ-DOC-X86-0016 Appendix C: Installing on MP Systems with One Processor Appendix C: Installing on MP Systems with One Processor Important: The information in this section only applies to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems. RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 requires at least two processors on multiprocessor (MP) systems in order to install and operate. If an MP system has only one processor, then Windows XP, or Windows 2003 Server must first be converted to use a standard uniprocessor HAL and uniprocessor (UP) kernel before RTX can be used (for example, "Standard PC"). To install RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1 on multiprocessor systems with only one processor: 1. Update the "Emergency Recovery" disk for the system (in case an incompatible HAL choice leaves the system unbootable). 2. Go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Computer. 3. Expand the Computer node to show its leaf. 4. Click the leaf listed beneath to display a HAL type. If the HAL type is already "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC" or "Standard PC", there is no need to convert. Go to step 13. 5. Right-click the HAL type and select Properties on the popup menu. 6. Click the Driver tab. 7. Click Update Driver to start the Device Driver Wizard. 8. Choose Display a list of known drivers... and click Next. 9. Choose Show all hardware of this device class. 10. Select the appropriate new HAL type: If the HAL is ACPI Multiprocessor PC: Choose ACPI Uniprocessor PC or Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC. If the HAL is MPS Multiprocessor PC or MPS Uniprocessor PC Choose Standard PC. 24
Appendix C: Installing on MP Systems with One Processor IZ-DOC-X86-0016 11. Choose YES at the next popup message. This is an expected warning message. 12. Reboot the system. 13. Install RTX 2011 with Service Pack 1. 25
