Use a dedicated machine for the Manager server and then install Manager and the embedded database. Other than the host-based firewall, no other software should be installed on the server. Before installation of Manager do the following:
- Ensure that the server is located in a physically secure environment.
- Connect the server on a protected or isolated network.
- If the hard disk is old, use fdisk (a command line utility) to remove all partitions and create new partitions.
