NOTE: Workstation configurations for diagnostic and clinical review are subject to review
without formal approval process.
We do not currently require approval of networking infrastructure or PCs for use by referring
physicians or for casual use. However, we recommend that all infrastructures complement
the server hardware and that our minimum requirements are observed.
Disclaimer
Intelerad is a software company. As such, Intelerad's approval of the hardware does not
constitute a guarantee that the hardware configuration provided by the hardware vendor is
functional. Intelerad relies on the hardware vendor to ensure compatibility of all its internal
and external components, as well as the operating system.
Hardware requirements mostly concern the components significant for performance and
reliability. Minor components like cables, connectors, power cords and rack mounting rails
may be required even though they are not explicitly listed in the minimum requirements.
The purchase of these components should follow the hardware vendors recommendations.
A medical device such as IntelePACS must be supported and maintained to be used under
applicable authority regulations. If your IntelePACS is not accessible to Intelerad's Support
Team, Intelerad will not provide maintenance (including remote monitoring, remote
diagnostics, and maintenance). IntelePACS is a medical device, and as such, must meet
medical device safety and effectiveness requirements imposed by national regulations.
The Client is advised that using IntelePACS without access from Intelerads Support Team
may put the health and safety of patients at risk, as the Client may not be advised of the
availability of software patch, bug fix, update or upgrade, nor will be informed of Field
Safety Notices, Medical Device Recalls, or Advisory Notices related to IntelePACS.
Furthermore, Intelerad will not be in a position to have access to the Clients systems to
implement corrections to prevent occurrences of patient safety issues. Any use of the
Licensed Software beyond Intelerads standard support practice is clients own
responsibility.
Approval Process
2.
Review Of Vendors Quote (skip this step for virtual hardware configurations)
Upon reception of the Hardware Requirements form, you are required to provide
Intelerad with a copy of a quote from your hardware vendor detailing the
specifications of the hardware you plan to purchase.
3.
Approval of Vendors Quote (skip this step for virtual hardware configurations)
After verifying the quote, Intelerad will send you a Hardware Approval document,
which is an official authorization for you to go ahead and purchase the specified
hardware.
4.
OS
IntelePACS servers running a PACS version older than 4-3-1 may require an older version
of Red Hat.
All servers must be registered with the Red Hat Network and subscribed to the
following channel, according to the version of Red Hat:
o
RHEL6: rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
RHEL7: rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
All partitions for PACS must be mounted by referencing their filesystem UUID.
Please use a standard install. Intelerad will install any missing packages.
Please use media (CD or DVD) with the latest updates of the Red Hat versions
listed above. Older versions may lack drivers.
If you are installing on Dell hardware, do not use the OpenManage installation
disks. Install from the latest Red Hat media only. Do not reuse any pre-existing
partitions.
6
OS
Please skip the X Windows configuration and run the system in run-level 3. This
will ensure X Windows is not started automatically.
All firmware pertaining to RAID controllers and arrays, remote access consoles
and tape libraries should be verified and, if necessary, upgraded to the current
revision from the hardware manufacturer.
Installation of Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
SP1 by the client is required on all Windows servers. They are distributed free of
charge by Microsoft at
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851 and
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22.
Purchase and installation of Microsoft Office (or Word) 2007 or 2010 by the client
is required only for InteleRIS v7 Fax Servers. Microsoft Office/Word is not required
for InteleRIS v8 servers. Office 2013, 365 are not supported.
The required version of Microsoft SQL Server is SQL Server 2008 R2 with at least
Service Pack 3.
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 licenses are purchased from Intelerad for the
InteleRIS servers that require it. Intelerad installs and configures Microsoft SQL
Server 2008 R2 as part of the installation of InteleRIS.
Internal, external, or virtual CD/DVD drive will be required to install the OS.
InteleRIS Servers
InteleRIS Servers
Server hardware and partitioning
InteleRIS makes use of a software architecture different from IntelePACS and so the
different configurations for InteleRIS servers are specified as variations from the base
PACS server configurations and partitioning schemes.
The naming scheme for the InteleRIS servers is comprised of three parts:
A number representative of the annual order volume capacity of the system (RIS1
to RIS6)
Typically the InteleRIS architectures will be specified as dual pairs of server types of the
same capacity.
For example to get the specifications for a medium-sized InteleRIS server combination
such as E(RIS3A) and E(RIS3B), go to the hardware requirements for Configuration E
further in the guide and note the changes in hardware from the base Configuration E server
configuration (found in the InteleRIS Server section for each server type). The RAID and
disk partitioning scheme to be used for these servers will also be found in the Configuration
E section.
Virtualization
Notes on vSphere
The resources allocated to a virtual machine may need to be changed over time to
ensure appropriate performance and compliance with newer versions of this
document. This allows Intelerad to recommend virtual hardware with less spare
capacity than would be necessary in physical configurations that are expected to
last until they are evergreened.
Intelerad servers that provide redundant services should not be running on the
same host, and preferably not on the same shared storage.
Configuration X Fax Modems are not supported by VMware. Servers that use them
cannot be virtualized.
All servers hosting virtual Intelerad servers must use Intel Xeon processors.
NTP will be used on the guest OS, and as such, time synchronization with the host
should be disabled.
CPU resources must be fully reserved (i.e. vCPUs x min. clock speed).
Total number of vCPUs assigned to all VMs on a host should be less than (or
equal to) the total number of physical cores on that host.
VMwares Fault Tolerance feature is not supported (not compatible with vSMP).
If supported by your vSphere license, enable Hot Add (memory and CPU).
Use Paravirtualized SCSI adapters (PVSCSI): one for OS; one for database; and
one for image storage (where applicable).
9
Virtualization
For Linux virtual machines: Allow ESXi to handle I/O scheduling by changing the
VM's I/O scheduler from CFQ to NOOP (VMware KB2011861).
VSphere version 5.5 or newer: Virtual disks, in addition to physicalcompatibility mode raw device mappings on shared storage, may be used
for Configuration SM2, SM3, SC2, or SC3 storage.
Virtual disks must be on shared storage (iSCSI SAN, FibreChannel (FC) SAN or
NFS).
10
Networked Storage
To measure the performance on the image partition, use the directory option to specify a
path to the image partition (e.g. -directory=/usr/local/PACS/images). In the
resulting output, the score to consider is the one listed after iops=.
The following table shows burst and sustained writes requirements for the various

Network
Networking Requirements
Each Intelerad server must comply with the following networking requirements in order to
function properly and guarantee service and support from Intelerad Support Center.
Internally, all Intelerad servers need to have unrestricted access to all other Intelerad
servers. All TCP and UDP ports as well as all ICMP packets require unrestricted access
between servers. Each server must be identified by a single hostname and IP address pair
across the system. Network address translation between servers is not supported.
The High Availability Cluster and Load Balanced Cluster features for IntelePACS rely on IP
address migration between servers; it is required that the servers be on the same local area
network and that multicasting be enabled on that network.
InteleRIS client connections to InteleRIS servers should take place only over an encrypted
VPN connection to help ensure the safety of the data.
PACS Outgoing
Normally, opening up outgoing ports is not a problem for our clients because humans do
not operate IntelePACS servers. Consequently, restricting outgoing web access (to ports
80 and 443, for example) is not an issue. IntelePACS servers must therefore be able to
initiate outbound network traffic to the following addresses and ports:

Monitoring
Server Monitoring
Intelerad remotely monitors servers 24/7 and is automatically notified of a wide range of
conditions. Most of this monitoring is application specific and must be interpreted by
Intelerad Support Center personnel.
Intelerad does not directly monitor servers at the hardware level. For those Intelerad
customers who wish to monitor their server hardware, Intelerad supports server
management solutions from both Dell and HP. These monitoring systems are based on
SNMP and require Intelerads Deployment Team to install and configure software on the
monitored servers. They also require that clients deploy a management console on which
to install the appropriate management and monitoring software. The management console
should be deployed separately from the Intelerad servers it is monitoring.
For information regarding the solution to use, refer to the following:
Dell: OpenManage Essentials
http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/openmanageessentials.aspx
HP: HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM)
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/index.html
OR
HP OneView
http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/server-software/product-detail.html?oid=5410258
Once the hardware vendors monitoring hardware and software is in place, simply
download and complete the request form available from the Intelerad Education and
Support Center (https://support.intelerad.com/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=452)
and Intelerads Deployment Team will configure the servers to provide monitored
information, such as RAID status, CPU status, fan speed, memory, server temperature,
power supply status etc., to the management console.

Expandability
When used as a Large Modality Server or Image Depot Server, the maximum amount of
image storage space that the server can sustain will depend on the particular load
experienced by the server. If the observed load permits it, the image storage on this server
can be expanded through the addition of additional storage configuration of type SM or SC.
Please note that mixing of storage configurations SM and SC on the same server is not
permitted. Lastly, the ultimate size of image storage will be limited by the available space
on the database RAID. For predominantly small image sizes (e.g. CT), this limit can be as
low as 100 times the size of the database RAID.

900GB (or 1.2TB) drives instead of 600GB drives for image storage. In this case, the
image data partition should be split in two with the first half mounted under
/usr/local/PACS and the second half mounted under /usr/local/PACS/images/dev1.
With this upgrade, the total image storage space is approximately 4.8TB (or 6.4TB
when using 1.2TB drives)

Expandability
The maximum amount of image storage space that the server can sustain will depend on
the particular load experienced by the server. If the observed load permits it, the image
storage on this server can be expanded through the addition of external storage of
configuration SM connected to a dedicated host bus adapter. The ultimate size of image
storage will be limited by the available space on the database RAID. For predominantly
small image sizes (e.g. CT), this limit can be as low as 100 times the size of the database
RAID.

Disk Configuration
Note for storage addition on a PACS server which is already in
production:
The following applies to prevent IntelePACS from writing studies to the new storage before
it has been fully configured, which can cause operational problems.
50
When preparing additional storage for a PACS server which is already in production,
please do not mount the partitions under the final mount points prior to the Deployment
Team performing its storage commissioning. Rather, once the new array has been
prepared, connected to the server, and the new partitions created, either
Do not mount the partitions, or
Mount them under temporary mount points:
/mnt/test_usr_local_PACS_images_devX where X is a number
Deployment will perform the final mounting operation.

* The design of some tape libraries (such as the Dell ML6000) force the library robotics to be connected to
the host through one of the tape drives. In multi-server archive systems, this means that one drive must be
sacrificed since Intelerad uses a dedicated robotics server.

Configuration U:
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Minimum Requirements
In order to prevent potentially damaging unexpected power losses, all Intelerad servers
must be either provided with guaranteed power, such as at most co-location facilities, or on
an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Intelerad software supports the entire APC SmartUPS product line, not to be confused with
the APC SmartUPS On-Line products which are not supported. Each UPS must be
connected to one Intelerad server by a USB cable. All servers should have at least one
power supply connected to a UPS.
The Dell SmartUPS product line is also compatible.
In order to provide enough power for a clean shutdown, the following table should be used
to calculate the power requirement of your UPS:

FAQ
Appendix 2:
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Intelerad require exactly this
configuration?
IntelePACS servers are a Class II medical device certified by regulatory bodies in several
countries and therefore are supported by Intelerad only in the provided configuration. With
our standard certified configurations, we believe to have captured the optimal reliability and
performance to meet the IntelePACS requirements. While certification for different
configurations is possible, the delays and costs involved make this an economically
undesirable option.
FAQ
FAQ
FAQ
Manager for approval. This may result in delays in installing and configuring the server,
which invariably cause delays in putting the server in production. Intelerad reserves the
right to refuse to install its software on hardware that doesnt meet its requirements.
