 Configuration Guide icafe8-v.9
When configuring Icafe8 - V.9 there are 2 configurations. One is to use the "Config Wizard" tool will
open each
Menu on the interface Icafe8 - V.9 and you only need to customize, the first tabs on the tool
This helps you configure the Server and Client Manager in the following order: Disk (Image, Game,
Writeback
Disk => Caching (RAM & SSD) => Load balancing using multiple network cards (NIC) => Create
Workstation List => Import Games.
Method 2: configuration without using the "Config Wizard", that n {y means you must know
the location each Menu and open it up for customization.
