If Hardware Inventory is selected in the RULE FOR field, the dependency will be linked to the hardware of the target devices.
There are two fields for hardware inventory dependencies that need to be defined. All fields in this dialog are mandatory.
•CONDITION: In the CONDITION dropdown menu, the condition which must be fulfilled is to be defined. It is possible to choose one of the following conditions.
oRequired CPU type: If this is chosen, the CPU type needs to be entered into the VALUE field.
oRequired CPU manufacturer: If this is chosen, the name of the manufacturer needs to be entered into the VALUE field. Example values would be Intel or AMD.
oMinimum CPU speed (MHZ): The minimum CPU speed needed should be entered here. For example, for a 1.6 GHz CPU the entry in the VALUE field would be 1600.
oMinimum disk space (MB): The required disk space in MB needs to be entered into the VALUE field if this is the selected condition.
oMinimum RAM (MB): The required RAM in MB needs to be entered into the VALUE field if this is the selected condition. For example, if 2 GB RAM are required for an application, the entry would be 2048.
oRequired CPU model: This field is used if a specific CPU model is required for the package. An example value would be i5-3570.
oRequires a CD-ROM drive: If this is chosen, the VALUE field will not be available, but the package can only be installed if a CD-ROM drive has been detected for the device.
oMinimum OS Service Pack: Specify the Service Pack for an operating system that is the minimum required service pack to be installed.
•VALUE: VALUE is a mandatory field. The entry in the VALUE field depends on the condition selected in the CONDITION field.
