Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
You are fine with non-ECC up to 8GB but you need ECC if you want to run 16GB. Non-EC causes it to be unstable and sees only half the ram half the time.
Funnily I had no issues with the N36L - installed Centos, Windows 2008R2 and then ESXi to test and it never lost the Ram. I just installed the 16GB in one of my N40L and it only saw 16GB once and since reboots with 8GB.
I did however find out (based on multiple reports) that the issue is the...
Found some affordable ram for the Microserver (even works in N36L) which actually works - 16GB / 2x8GB UDIMMS
You can get it in the UK here.

And yes, it does work just fine and is cheap and cheerful
I am using Adaptec cards on all my Microserver - they all come with additional low profile plates ..

Would be easier to just get this

Which connects straight to a minisas or Sata using the proper cable (when using a raid card) or the equivalent from icydock which has normal Sata connectors...
It does though - as a consumer it does matter.
Whether I pay 250 and get 100 cashback or pay only 150 to begin with ... as a consumer I still pay the same price ...
To be fair - they are so cheap there is just a £25 difference .. so I guess you could see this as a fee for getting your cash back early without paying upfront.
I have noticed another issue with this company though. I'll post / update you guys in time, I just want to give them a chance to...
Some people should something just shut up .. but either way ... if you buy Transparent ones and don't get the cashback - you are down about £25 per device (Transparent and no cashback vs. "licensed supplier" and cashback).
But yea - cheers for pointing Outbound to the site :@
I have been back and forth on that one and tried to find the "catch" - the guy over the phone did mention the cashback and also said he makes sure the invoice is dated prior the 31st and makes sure it is being delivered before.
Now I have been myself through the T&Cs of the cashback...
google HP Microserver and then > shopping > sort by price :D

Doesn't mention cashback - but the SKU matches the one mentioned in the cashback form as requirement.
Bear in mind, you need to order today with next day delivery to...
