SCCM 2012 R2 Prerequisite Check

Question

Hello
I'm stuck with the installation of SCCM 2012 R2. I get stuck at the Prerequisite Check with the following errors:
1. SQL Server service running account
2. Required SQL Server Collation
3. SQL Server sysadmin rights
SQL 2012 SP1 is installed on the same Windows Server 2012 R2 server that I am trying to install the SCCM 2012 R2 on. I did not use the default instance name during the SQL 2012 SP1 setup and created a name myself. I have also applied SQL Server 2012 SP1
x64 CU9 before I proceeded with the SCCM 2012 R2 setup. I have put in credentials for a service account (Domain Admin) for the five SQL Services (SQL Server Analysis Services, SQL Server, SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server Agent, SQL Server Browser).
Is it okay if I use the same service account for all 5 services? I have also turned off firewall and disabled the Windows Firewall Service. Why am I getting error number 1?.
I chose "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" as server collation during SQL 2012 SP1 setup. If I go to Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and go to Server Properties, I can see Server Collation is "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS". Why am
I getting error number 2?
I have made the Service Account used for SQL Services, the account used to install SCCM 2012 R2 and also a local group on the same server which has the local computer account to "sysadmin" under Server Roles on Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Why am I getting error number 3?
Can anyone help me out here please?

Hi,
if you setup a named instance, have to configure SQL Server to listen on an static TCP port. (instead dynamic TCP port)
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand SQL Server Network Configuration, and then click Protocols for <instance_name>.
Expand Protocols for <instance_name>, and then click TCP/IP.
Right-click TCP/IP,
and then click Properties
In the IP Addresses tab, under IPAll, set TCP Port (1433).
