Help reviewing memory consumption SQL Server 2008 R2

I'd appreciate help reviewing memory consumption on a production SAP CRM database server.  

Attached is an export of Memory Consumption report from SQL.  Does anything stand out to you?

Buffer Pages distribution appears to be huge.  

This server was restarted early Saturday morning.

I can't read the file. Which file type is that?

As I know for SAP is that you should follow their recommendations for configuring SQL Server since they don't follow the best practices but their own engineers recommendations.

Attached file is .xls.    Attaching again as first one appears to be corrupt.

Agreed regarding SAP SQL server configuration.  However, I have doubts about our support/implementation team's sql skills, so would like to learn more.  Thank you for looking.

I can't help you without knowing the configuration of your server.
It's MSSQL 2008R2 right? Which edition? 32bit or 64bit? And what about the Operating System?
How much RAM and CPU? It's physical or virtual machine?
It's dedicated to SQL Server? If not, what's running more on the box?

NOTE: Still can't read the Excel file.

How many vCPU's?
With that Max Memory set for SQL Server I think you won't have memory pressure for a while.

Scott - I didn't find that but did determine the root cause; as part of a restart of another server, the SQL server service on this server is being stopped and started.

Vitor - Quad 2.9 Ghz Intel vCPUs.  Thank you for the input on the max memory setting.

Should I be at all concerned about the stolen buffer pages distribution?
