PowerEdge T130 VMware ESXi compatibility

Hi,

 

I have one PowerEdge T130 with these specifications:

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1220 v5 @ 3.00GHz
RAM: 4x 16GB DDR4 KTD-PE421E/16G Kingston
Storage: Internal controller PERC H730, PERC H330, PERC H830, PERC S130
HDD: 1x 1TB Seagate ST1000NM0055-1V410C
NIC: 2x NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe

I want to test VMware ESXi 8.0 for 60 days but it's not available from Drivers & Downloads from the Product Support page, which may indicate that the PowerEdge T130 it is not supported.

Also, PowerEdge T130 is not listed as Server/System in the VMware Compatibility Guide for ESXi 8.0, but searching individually for the key components listed in the specifications, they are compatible.

So, there may be another component that indicates that The ESXi 8.0 is not supported?
As it is just for testing and having the information that the components are supported in ESXi 8.0, it should work, right?

Regards,
José

Yep, my Dell T130 works fine with ESXI v8.0u2. I get a warning (at time of install) that my "CPU may not be supported in future versions", but otherwise all behaves just as it did when running v6.7u3.
