    Capacity Guidelines for Windows XPE Languages


    Languages such as English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Italian, and German,
    do not require a 2 GB module because the total size for imaging is less than 1 GB.
    Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese require a 2 GB
    module because the total size for imaging exceeds 1 GB. See Table 1 for more
    information.

    NOTE: All the values in the table are in MB. The actual size of a 1 GB module varies
    according to the module. The approximate size of a 1 GB module is 975 MB and a 2 GB
    module is 1930 MB.
    NOTE: Any configuration with a wireless module would require a 2 GB module.

    Installing the Latest Image With a 1 GB Module


    NOTE: It is recommended that you follow these steps only if you have to upgrade the
    Windows XPE image to A05.
    To install the latest image using a 1 GB module:
    1 Install the latest Windows XPE image on an OptiPlex FX-160 system with a
    2 GB module.
    2 Uncompress the disk-image:
    a Navigate to My Computer
    b Right-click C: and select Properties.
    c Select the General tab.
    d Clear the option Compress drive to save disk space.
    3 Remove any software that is not required in your client environment. Click
    Start Control Panel Add/Remove Programs.
    The following software can be uninstalled if they are not used in your client
    environment:
    • Citrix Online-Plugin Receiver (frees up 20 MB of space)
    • VMware View client (frees up 40 MB of space)
    • Citrix Online-Plugin from C:\Dell folder
    • Symantec end-point protection software
    4 Delete temporary files and folders.
    5 Check the total occupied space.
    The total occupied space should be around 920 MB and should be less than
    the total size for imaging in Table 1.
    6 Capture the image and redeploy it to other systems with a 1 GB module.
    See the Re-Imaging Guide at
    content.dell.com/us/en/enterprise/d/business~solutions~whitepapers~en
    /Documents~OptiPlex-fx160-imaging-guide.pdf.aspx.
    Alternatively, you can upload the new image to the Altiris deployment
    server. The new image can be redeployed from the Altiris server to the
    existing OptiPlex FX-160 Windows XPE images with a 1 GB module.
