NOTE:
Minimum one memory kit must be installed.
To install by double of memory kit is recommended in order to increase memory transfer
speed by the dual-channel symmetric configuration.
Actual memory speed drops to 1333 MHz when you choose Pentium Processor.
The memory requirement to run VMware ESXi™ are below:
- VMware ESXi 5.1 : at least 3 GB
- VMware ESXi 5.5 : at least 5 GB
- VMware ESXi 6.0 : at least 5 GB
Maximum Available Memory
See the table below for the maximum memory size that you can actually use on your system.
The maximum available memory is less than the maximum physical memory supported by your system
because some chipsets require PCI resource space of about 750MB. PCI resource requirements vary
depending on the type and the number of PCI cards you are using.

4.1 RAID Configuration
Refer to the section in accordance with your disk form factor and RAID configuration.
4.1.1 Up to six 2.5-inch Drive
4.1.2 Up to eight 2.5-inch Drive
NOTE:
Embedded SATA RAID controller is supported only on limited OS. For more details, please see OS
Support Matrix for PCI Cards and Embedded Controllers.
Hot plug insertion/removal is not supported with the Embedded SATA non-RAID controller.
Internal optical drive cannot be installed when N8154-52F 2.5-inch Hot Plug Drive Cage Kit is
installed.
To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in
order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.
All drives within a RAID array should be of the same type, capacity and rotation speed.
All SAS hard drives within a system should be of the same rotation speed.
Up to two kinds of drives selected from SAS 10K HDDs, SAS 15K HDDs, SATAHDDs and SAS SSDs
can be mixed.
