ESXi - Showing 8GB RAM only

By mkearney ·
Hi Guys - so I trying to configure my SuperMicro X7DBR server to run vmware esxi. I was able to install it with no problem at all except that it does not display all of my RAM's. I have 16GB installed but esxi it's only showing 8gig. Is there a bios setting that i need to set prior to installing esxi? My hardware again is a Supermicro X7DBR with 2 Intel Xeon 5130 @ 2GHz with 16GB of RAM and 1TB SATA disk.

Thanks.

Take out 8gb of ram..

Then see what it shows.
Have you updated the bios yet?.
If not then this is a wise option to do.
When done you should be able to load on the other 8gb of ram, as long as the ram in question are of the same make/speed and are EEC.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

I removed 8GB and ESXi showed 8GB but when I placed the RAM's back - it still showed 8GB. So I took out 12GB and the BIOS and ESXi showed 4GB and when I replaced everything back - 16 GB is all there. Thank you very much!!
