Starting and Stopping the FSI Server

When installing D3 Windows for the first or upgrading, you are asked to select between these two types of installations:

Typical

Installs the VME and FSI Server. When installed, the D3 VME is set to start manually or automatically when Windows is restarted.

NOTE—Typical installation installs both the VME and FSI and is recommended if using the FSI Server.

Custom

Installs either the VME Server or FSI Server. If the FSI Server is installed, the D3 FSI is set to start manually or automatically when Windows is restarted.

Depending on the type of installation (Typical or Custom), the D3 VME and/or D3 FSI is either started automatically or manually when Windows is restarted.
