<a name="max_server_memory"></a> Use **max_server_memory** to guarantee the OS does not experience detrimental memory pressure. To set max server memory configuration, monitor overall consumption of the [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] process in order to determine memory requirements. For an initial configuration or when there was no opportunity to collect [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] process memory usage over time, use the following generalized best practice approach to configure **max_server_memory** for a single instance:

- From the total OS memory, subtract the equivalent of potential [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] memory allocations outside the **max server memory** control, which is comprised of **stack size <sup>1</sup> \* calculated max worker threads <sup>2</sup>**.

- Then subtract 25% for other memory allocations outside the **max server memory** control, such as the plan cache, backup buffers, and other components. This is a generic approximation, mileage may vary.
