Mixing RAM most of the time can be troublesome. For best results only use the same brand, size and spec's.
This is not just a "Dell" issue. I have an ASUS ROG (Gamer) motherboard and it will not work with two different brands of memory of the same size and specs. (I have two Corsair Dominator 8 GB memory modules and two GSkill of the same size and speed and it will boot with either installed but not both).
Per the online specifications page, 48GB is not tested/validated by Dell. If you were going to try it, you should be using our OEM memory sticks.
Closest to the CPU = Slot 4 black XMM1 (YXC0V 16GB,DDR4,2400MHz,2RX8) Slot 5 white XMM2 (M0VW4 8GB,DDR4,2400MHz,1RX8) Slot 6 black XMM3 (YXC0V 16GB,DDR4,2400MHz,2RX8) Slot 7 white XMM4 (M0VW4 8GB,DDR4,2400MHz,1RX8)

There are only 4 Ram Slots.
I would advise buying 4 x 8 or 4 x 16 matched sets.
