NOTE: The memory count will be affected by configurations with the Management Engine (ME) enabled. The ME uses 8MB of system memory in single channel mode or 16MB of memory in dual- channel mode to download, decompress, and execute the ME firmware for Out-of-Band (OOB), third- party data storage, and other management functions.
