Important Information

The following sections cover important information you need to successfully install
the load balancing utility. Please read this section carefully. This information is
intended to help you get up and running quickly and minimize the "gotchas" that can
waste hours of installation time.

Requirements

The load balancing software is an NDIS Intermediate driver that performs all of its
functions in the Kernel mode of NT. Because the software operates in kernel mode,
it should work well with almost any server configuration and application. A few
specific requirements, however, should be met before the load-balancing driver can
successfully operate on your server.

Pentium single or multiprocessor, DEC Alpha single or multiprocessor.
