NOTES:
Mandarin Library Automation recommends a storage subsystem, such as a RAID, that can deliver at least a sustained 500 IOPS.
The recommended performance configuration is to host the web server and the Mandarin server on different machines. We do not recommend using Mandarin on a server that is also operating Exchange Server, WSUS or Domain Controller. Please contact us if you intend to use Virtual Server.
