vThe original Windows Server operating system installation CDs are available in case files are needed while installing the prerequisites.

vThe server has Internet access to obtain prerequisites and to activate the software after the installation is complete.

vThe server has a static IP address.

vThe server is not a domain controller. However, it is recommended to have the server join a domain.
