RAM requirement for the Storage Essentials server is 4 GB with 6 GB recommended.
• When HP SIM and Storage Essentials are installed on the same server together the
minimum RAM requirement for the Storage Essentials server is 6 GB with 8 GB
recommended.
NOTE: If the minimum amount of RAM is close to the requirement, the installation wizard
continues.
• Physical Address Extension (PAE) — PAE is a Windows setting to utilize amounts of RAM
greater than 4 GB on certain versions of Windows. See your Windows documentation for
more information about PAE settings. The installation or upgrade continues regardless of
PAE.
