* The M9037A has two 240-pin, RDIMM sockets that support DDR3-1600 REG/ECC RAM sticks. The standard M9037A configuration is a single 4 GB memory module with a factory option to provide either 8 or 16 GB memory. A 32-bit OS system may not be able to address 4GB memory space. To use the full 16GB memory, a 64-bit OS must be used.

Push down on the controller’s ejector/injector handle. The red button on the handle must be depressed to release it. Carefully align the M9037A board edges with the chassis guide rails for slot 1 (red guide rails) and insert the controller into the guide rails.
This is generally caused by the inclusion of certain devices in the switch fabric (such as RAID controller) that require a longer time for PCI enumeration. The first time the M9037A is powered up, it will prompt you to create a user password. Power Off Sequence...
(WES7) Operating System is activated at the time it ships from the factory. However, the first time you install and turn on the M9037A and Windows starts, you must accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). A copy of the EULA was included in your controller shipment.
If you already have a Keysight M9036A Embedded Controller and you want to upgrade to an M9037A, be aware that the IVI API drivers are not the same. You will need to update any programs/applications you have written and rebuild them.
System Backup and Recovery Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7) 32-bit or 64-bit Operating System is the only operating system installed on your M9037A. There is a small system partition for the Keysight Recovery System on the SSD. During the boot process, you are given the choice to boot to Windows 7 normally or boot from the recovery partition.
