Note: The hardware requirements indicated by the operating system manufac-

turers must be considered. Hardware combinations that cause malfunctions ac-

cording to the manufacturer’s specification may also have an effect on the opera-

tion of EPLAN. Therefore an accurate basic installation of hardware, operating

system, and hardware drivers (e.g. graphics board driver etc.) is essential for a

smooth operation of EPLAN. For this reason, the main conditions and areas of

application as specified by the hardware manufacturers also apply to the opera-

tion of EPLAN.
