NOTE:
Minimum one memory kit must be installed.
It is recommended to install memory kits in pairs of two identical DIMMs for dual-channel symmetric memory configurations to
increase memory transfer speed.
At least 5 GB of memory is required for VMware ESXi™ 5.5 and VMware ESXi™ 6.0
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.
