5-32 Installing the Operating System with Express SetupAbout the System Partition SizeThe system partition size can be calculated from the following formula.When the system is Windows Server 2008 64-bit (x64) Edition:Required partition size= Size required to install OS + paging file size + dump file size + application sizeSize required to install OS = 11,600MB (Full Installation)12,300MB (Full Installation with Service Pack 2)16,720MB (Full Installation + Service Pack 2)or= 4,100MB (Server Core Installation)4,800MB (Server Core Installation with Service Pack2)9,220MB (Server Core Installation + Service Pack 2)Paging file size (recommended) = Installed memory size * 1.5Dump file size = Installed memory size + 300MBApplication size = Required sizeIMPORTANT: The above-mentioned paging file size is recommended forcollecting debug information (memory dump). The paging file withinitial size large enough to store the dump file in the boot drive isrequired.Correct debug information might not be able to be collected due tovirtual memory shortage when the paging file is insufficient, so setan enough size of the paging file with the entire system. Regardless of the size of the mounted memory, or the Writedebugging information (type of memory dump), the maximum sizeof the dump file is 'The size of the mounted memory + 300MB'. If you install any application program or the like, add necessaryspace to the partition to install these programs.
