The topics in this section explain how to set up your Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 computer and stations. You will install and configure MultiPoint Server; set up your stations; install drivers, updates, and software; optionally join a domain; activate MultiPoint Server; and add client access licenses (CALs) for each station.
 Important
If you have not yet planned your Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 deployment, see Planning a Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 Deployment (http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj916408.aspx).
For the initial installation, we recommend that you perform the tasks in the order in which they are presented.
1. Collect hardware and device drivers needed for the installation
2. Set up the physical computer and primary station
3. Install Windows MultiPoint Server 2012
4. Update and install device drivers if needed
5. Set the date, time, and time zone
6. Join the MultiPoint Server computer to a domain (optional)
7. Install updates
8. Attach additional stations to your Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 computer
9. Activate Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 and add CALs
10. Install software on your Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 system
Collect hardware and device drivers needed for the installation
Before you start your MultiPoint Server 2012 system installation, you will need:
Hardware components for the server - Install any additional video cards or other system components at this time.
Hardware components for the stations - For information about planning stations for your environment, see Selecting Hardware for Your MultiPoint Server System (http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj916407.aspx).
The latest drivers for your video cards - If your OEM or device manufacturer did not supply these, you will need to download them from the device manufacturer’s website.
The latest USB zero client drivers - If you are using USB zero client stations, you must install the latest USB zero client drivers.
Important
For a MultiPoint Server installation, you must install the 64-bit version of these and other drivers.
 Tip
If you are installing Windows MultiPoint Server on a computer with a different version of Windows already installed, you should find out the video card make and model in Device Manager before you start the MultiPoint Server installation. To open Device Manager, open Computer Management from the Start screen. Then, in the console tree, click Device Manager.
