+ <h1 class="title">Advanced Image Options</h1>
+ <p>There are several advanced options for each image that can be modified.
+Normally, they can be left alone. However, there are times where it is
+useful to set them. These are the advanced options and their descriptions.
+They are listed in the same order they appear on the Edit Image page.</p>
+<p>The following advanced options are compared directly to corresponding
+computer attributes of the VCL computers. Configuring these fields
+restricts which computers can be assigned to run the image based on
+computer specs.
+<table>
+<tr>
+<th>Minimum RAM (MB)</th>
+<td>This is the minimum RAM required for the image to
+function and is specified in MB. This is useful if the image has software
+installed that will not function without at least some specific amount of
+RAM. The VCL scheduler will not assign a user a computer to run the image
+that has less RAM than what is specified here.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<th>Minimum Num of Processors</th>
+<td>This is the minimum number of processors
+required for the image to function. This is useful if the image has
+software installed that will not function without at least some specific
+number of processors. The VCL scheduler will not assign a user a computer
+to run the image that has fewer processors than what is specified here.
+<strong>NOTE</strong>: It is up to the VCL site administrators to determine if this field
+and the corresponding <strong>No. Processors</strong> computer field mean actual
+processors or processor cores. Most often, it makes the most sense to have
+it mean processor cores.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<th>Minimum Processor Speed (MHz)</th>
+<td>This is the minimum processor speed
+required for the image to function and is specified in MHz. This is useful
+if the image has software installed that will not function without at least
+a specific processor speed. The VCL scheduler will not assign a user a
+computer to run the image that has a slower processor speed than what is
+specified here.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<th>Minimum Network Speed (Mbps)</th>
+<td>This is the minimum network speed required
+for the image to function and is specified in Mbps. This is useful if the
+image has software installed that will not function without at least a
+specific network speed. The VCL scheduler will not assign a user a computer
+to run the image that has a slower network speed than what is specified
+here. This only refers to the speed at which the VCL computer is connected
+to the network. It is not related to the end user's network connection.</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+<br/>
+These advanced options are only related to the image itself.<br/>
+<br/>
+<table>
+<tr>
+<th>Maximum Concurrent Usage</th>
+<td>This field allows the concurrent usage of the
+image to be limited. It is very useful if you only have a fixed number of
+licenses for an application installed in the image, but no network license
+manager to limit concurrent use. Leave the field empty for unlimited use.
+Enter a number to limit concurrent use of the image to that number.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<th>Estimated Reload Time (min)</th>
+<td>This is the estimated amount of time it will
+take the image to be loaded. It is only relevant for the first few
+reservations of an image. After that, historical data is used to estimate
+the load time.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<th>Available for checkout</td>
+<td>This field controls whether this image can show up
+on the New Reservations page (if set to yes, the appropriate permissions
+still need to be set for it to show up). The intended use of this field is
+for cluster environments where an image will have several sub images. In
+some of those cases, it doesn't make sense for end users to be able to make
+a reservation for the sub images directly. In those cases, set this field
+to <strong>No</strong>. Otherwise, you should leave it as <strong>Yes</strong>.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<th>Check for logged in user</th>
+<td>If set to <strong>yes</strong>, VCL will perform checks to see
+if a user is connected to a reservation for this image. If a user has
+connected, but disconnects and stays disconnected for 15 minutes, then VCL
+will consider the reservation to be inactive. It will time out the
+reservation and reclaim the machine for someone else to use. Setting this
+option to <strong>no</strong> disables this check, causing the reservation to exist until
+its end time, even if no one is connected to it.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<th>User group allowed to log in</th>
+<td>This options is antiquated and should be
+left as <strong>Any</strong>.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<th>Subimages</th>
+<td>This is used to create <a href="cluster-environments.html">Cluster Environments</a>
+. Any subimages listed here will be checked out in addition to this image
+when a reservation is made for this image.</td>
+</tr>
