1 Construction of a system meeting the minimum memory requirements for Virtual Server Environment (VSE) operation is problematic
on 32-bit versions of the Windows Server family due to the maximum addressable memory space of a 32-bit operating system of
4 GB. This memory space is also shared by some hardware elements, such as video memory, reducing the maximum available
memory below the minimum recommended by HP. To overcome this limitation, the /PAE switch can be added to the boot.ini file
to enable the Physical Address Extension feature. This allows access to memory above 4 GB on 32-bit operating system editions
running on hardware that supports PAE.
2 For HP Insight Dynamics – VSE, two or more processing cores are required.
