You need 48 MB of random access memory (RAM) with virtual memory turned 
on to run all of the AppleShare IP server programs simultaneously. To run all of the 
AppleShare IP servers without turning on virtual memory, you need a minimum of 64 MB 
of RAM.

System software:  
 
Mac OS 8.5 is recommended and provided with your AppleShare IP 
software. TCP Filter software requires Mac OS 8.5; all other features require Mac OS 8.1 or 
later. Installation instructions for Mac OS 8.5 are provided on page 13 of this book, and in 
the 
 
Mac OS 8.5 Installation Manual
 
 that came with your software. 
 
If You Are Upgrading Your AppleShare Software
 
If you are upgrading from AppleShare 3 or later or from Macintosh file sharing, you need to 
be aware of the following information about preserving files and settings.
 
Users & Groups
 
If you are upgrading from AppleShare 3 or later or from Macintosh file sharing, the registered 
users and groups that you’ve created are retained when you install AppleShare IP. 
 
Share Points and Access Privileges
 
If you have share points (shared folders) on another computer that you’d like to move to 
your AppleShare IP server, first follow the instructions in this manual to install and set up 
AppleShare IP on the new server. Then follow the instructions for moving share points in the 
Web & File section of AppleShare IP Help.
Some access privileges of share points you move may not exactly match the new access 
privileges in AppleShare IP. They are converted to the closest match that provides the most 
security. See the Users & Groups section of AppleShare IP Help.
 
Print Queues
 
If you’re upgrading from AppleShare 3 or 4, you need to create new queues after you install 
AppleShare IP. 
 
File Sharing and Networking Software Settings
 
If you are upgrading from AppleShare 3 or later, the settings in your File Sharing, AppleTalk, 
and TCP/IP control panels are retained. You do not need to reconfigure these control panels 
as described in the section “Creating Network Settings” on page 14. You do need to perform 
the other tasks in the section “Preparing Your Computer for AppleShare IP” on page 12 
however.
