Want to run a HP N54L Microserver with 16GB ECC RAM for ESXi? It’s easier than you think.

I finally got around to migrating my N40L ESXi setup to the newer N54L. Process was relatively simple, take the guts out of one box and add to the other. The only component that didn’t move across was the RAM. This is because I wanted to give the Kingston 16GB kit a go.

These memory modules are great. They were detected each and every reboot. The full 16GB was available to ESXi as well 8-)
