# System Requirements

File System Connector can be installed as part of a larger system that includes an IDOL Server and an interface for the information stored in IDOL Server. To maximize performance, Micro Focus recommends that you install IDOL Server and the connector on different machines.

For information about the minimum system requirements required to run IDOL components, including File System Connector, refer to the IDOL Getting Started Guide.

The connector must be installed on the machine that you want to ingest files from, or on a machine that has access to those files through standard paths.

## Netware File Systems

To retrieve files from a Netware file system, the connector must be installed on a machine running Windows. You must also install the Novell client on the connector machine. This allows the connector to access the Netware server.

## OmniGroupServer

To extract group information, you must also install OmniGroupServer.
