F5-BIG-ADC-4200V-AS version BIGIP-11.4.1-635.0-HF2 showing memory usage 65.0% on dashboard. Is it normall ?

We have pair of BIG-IP 4200V (LTM & ASM) running 11.4.1 HF2 showing memory usage 65.0% on dashboard. We just roll out two of our test server (webseal) on it for load balancing simple testing only. We didn't enable ASM policy so far. I just want to know is it normal or do I have to worried about it because we will have more than 25 application on it for load balancing & it showing 65% with only two test app with no load.

    i think it is normal.

    my gear is 3600 platform running 11.4.1 hf2. it is lab unit and there is no traffic. dashboard shows 60.8% memory usage. if looking at tabular view, tmm takes 7.8% used and other takes 97.8% used, so totally it is 60.8% used.

    top shows asm processes in top rank.
