it is recommended that the File Server have 30Gb hard disk drive minimum,
selection of hard disk size should be
based
upon amount of storage required by graphic and database files and the number
and size of the directories. In some cases,
this
drive could be several more gigabytes. Where color separation is required, a
larger drive could be needed. Server should have mirrored drives or RAID.
4. IMPORTANT: The operator station running
Sleight-of-Hand with required output of color-separated pages saved, as files
should have
a hard disk drive of at least 20Gb; the drive could be even larger.

Sleight-of-Hand, will be run should be outfitted with at least a 20'' monitor.
