HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus: Adding 16GB RAM Module and VMware Configuration

We finally got the precious 16GB RAM DIMM in from HPE for the MicroServer and install that so we can begin virtualized performance testing. From there we take you on a deep, and a little messy, dive into our VMware setup, provisioning and deploying the VMs we need for SQL and MySQL testing. It's not always pretty in the lab, but in the end we have the MicroServer Gen10 Plus ready for database testing that will be running overnight.

Wow, yes. Installing memory is such a hard and technical thing to do!

Little slow but good info.

I need to get one of these for my homelab to fire up a proxmox node :)

Hi! Did you add the memory next to the old one? Please specify what memory you added. Is single-channel? Thank you!

What is the HP part number for the single 16 GB module? I am currently running non-ECC Crucial 32GB Kit (16GBx2) DDR4 2666 MT/s (PC4-21300) DR X8 DIMM 288-Pin Memory - CT2K16G4DFD8266 matched pair. Or is that good enough?

Hi, can you please test to install 2x32G ram and check if it works? In gen 7 it worked with double capacity

Will Microsoft Hyper-V run on HPE Gen10 Plus? Thinking about running Windows Server Essentials 2016.

Please tell me how the temperature? The temperature of the processor, drives? How about the noise? Please do a detailed test.

Is it possible to put 8 nuclear 2278g with 80tdp? Can I put 2x32GB of RAM?

Wow, that packaging is on par with Amazon in terms of wastefulness
