# Before Installation

The following preparations are needed prior to installation of ToolsNet 8:

- Make sure that the computers that are to run ToolsNet 8 comply with the hardware and software requirements.

- Make sure that Atlas Copco Data Communication is installed.

  Note: In ToolsNet 8.33 or earlier, clear the Enable Https checkbox in ACDC Installation Configurator: Settings → Web API → General → Https Settings. HTTPS is not supported in these versions.

- For Atlas Copco Data Communication ports, see Reference Documents.

If ToolsNet 4000 is installed on the server, perform an upgrade.

When considering Firewall:

- Internal: Must be opened for internal network traffic.

- External: Must be opened for contact with Atlas Copco license server.

Read the sections about server configuration for the intended server use. Always make sure that your database server is installed, set up properly, and running.

## Hard drives and data files

Contact the database administrator to determine the following settings.

1. Check that there is enough free hard drive space for Production data.

2. Decide which hard drive volume and folder should be used for Production data.

These values are not set at this stage.

The SQL Server transaction log file grows when delete maintenance is running. This log file is truncated when the database is backed up. The DBA needs to have a strategy for keeping a reasonable log file size.
