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.

Endurance of SSD
The 2.5-inch SAS/SATA SSDs have limited lifetime, which can only be written a limited number of times before it fails.
The warranty period of SSD is the stated period of warranty or until the total bytes of written value (PBW) exceeds the limit value,
whichever occurs first. It is recommended to check the total bytes of written value periodically.
Refer to the table below for the write endurance (PBW and DWPD), warranty period and monitoring tool.

PBW(Peta-Bytes Write): Total amount of data that can be written into the SSD. 1PB=1,000TB.
DWPD(Drive Writes per Day): Rewrite capacity of the SSD per day.
Check the lifetime of SSD by monitoring tool regularly.
It is recommended to replace the SSD before it reaches its end of life. For repurchase, please contact your sales representative.
For detailed operating methods of monitoring tool, refer to the User’s Guide.
