Installing Windows Server 2008 R2 D-3About the System Partition SizeThe system partition size can be calculated from the following formula.When the system is Windows Server 2008 R2:Required partition size =size required to install OS + paging file size + dump file size + application sizeSize required to install OS = 8,000MB (Full Installation)or= 3,500MB (Server Core Installation)Paging file size (recommended) = Installed memory size * 1.5Dump file size = Installed memory size + 300MBApplication size = Required sizeIMPORTANT: The above-mentioned partition size is the minimum partition sizerequired for system installation. Ensure sufficient partition size forsystem operation.Following numbers are the recommended size.– Full Installation: 32,768MB (32GB) or more– Server Core Installation: 10,240MB (10GB) or more*1GB = 1,024MB 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 WindowsPartition is required.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.
