3 Log In to the System with Administrator Privileges

Log on as a member of the Administrators group to the computer on which to install Oracle components. Log on as a member of the Domain Administrators group if you are installing on a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or a Backup Domain Controller (BDC).

4 Check the Software Requirements

Table 1 lists the software requirements for Oracle Database:

Table 1 Software Requirements

Requirement	Value
System Architecture	Itanium 2 64-bit Note: Oracle provides both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Oracle Database for Windows. Currently, the 64-bit version of the database must run on the 64-bit version of the operating system. The 32-bit version of the database must run on the 32-bit version of the operating system.
Operating System	Oracle Database for 64-bit Windows is supported on the following operating systems: Windows XP 64-bit Edition Version 2003 Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition for 64-bit Itanium 2 Systems Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for 64-bit Itanium 2 Systems Windows Multilingual User Interface Pack is supported on Windows XP 64-bit Edition and Windows Server 2003.
Compiler	Object Oriented COBOL (OOCOBOL) specifications are not supported. The following components are supported with the Microsoft Platform SDK and Intel Electron C 7.1 compilers: Oracle C++ Call Interface Oracle Call Interface External callouts PL/SQL native compilation XDK
Network Protocol	The Oracle Net foundation layer uses Oracle protocol support to communicate with the following industry-standard network protocols: TCP/IP TCP/IP with SSL Named Pipes

5 Check the Hardware Requirements

The following hardware components are required for Oracle Database:

RAM: 1 GB minimum
Virtual memory: 512 MB
Hard disk space: See Table 2
Temp disk space: 140 MB
Video adapter: 256 color
Processor: Itanium 2 or higher for each installation type

Hard Disk Space Requirements

This section lists system requirements for NT File System (NTFS) file systems. Oracle recommends installing Oracle components on NTFS.

The NTFS system requirements listed in this section are more accurate than the hard disk values reported by the Oracle Universal Installer Summary screen. The Summary screen does not include accurate values for disk space, the space required to create a database, or the size of compressed files that are expanded on the hard drive.

The hard disk requirements for Oracle Database components include 32 MB required to install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Oracle Universal Installer on the partition where the operating system is installed. If sufficient space is not detected, installation fails and an error message appears.

Table 2 lists the space requirements for NTFS, including requirement for the starter database. The starter database requires 720 MB of disk space.

Table 2 Hard Disk Space Requirements for NTFS

Installation Type	System Drive	Oracle Home Drive
Basic Installation	140 MB	2.78 GB
Advanced Installation: Enterprise Edition	140 MB	2.78 GB
Advanced Installation: Standard Edition	140 MB	2.72 GB
Advanced Installation: Personal Edition	140 MB	2.77 GB

Verifying Hardware Requirements

To ensure that the system meets these requirements, follow these steps:

Determine the physical RAM size. For a computer using Windows XP, for example, open System in the control panel and select the General tab. If the size of the physical RAM installed in the system is less than the required size, then you must install more memory before continuing.
Determine the size of the configured virtual memory (also known as paging file size). For a computer using Windows XP, for example, open System in the control panel, select the Advanced tab, click Settings in the Performance section. Then select the Advanced tab and click Change in the Virtual Memory section.

If necessary, see your operating system documentation for information about how to configure additional virtual memory.
Determine the amount of free disk space on the system. For a computer using Windows XP, for example, open My Computer, right-click the drive where the Oracle software is to be installed, and choose Properties.
Determine the amount of disk space available in the temp directory. This is equivalent to the total amount of free disk space, minus what will be needed for the Oracle software to be installed.

If there is less than 140 MB of disk space available in the temp directory, then first delete all unnecessary files. If the temp disk space is still less than 140 MB, then set the TEMP or TMP environment variable to point to a different hard drive. For a computer using Windows XP, for example, open the System control panel, select the Advanced tab, and click Environment Variables.

Note:

While installing the Oracle database on a disk drive separate from the software does provide a performance improvement, for best performance, the Oracle database files should be distributed across three or more disks. Oracle Database Installation Guide for Windows describes this more complex and time-consuming type of installation. However, this type of installation is recommended only for experienced users.

6 Install the Oracle Database Software

Start Oracle Universal Installer and install Oracle software, as follows:

Insert the CD-ROM labeled Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) Disk 1 of 1 or navigate to the Oracle Database location on the Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) DVD-ROM.
