Dell PowerEdge T420 Memory upgrade

Question

Hello Dell Experts,

I have a Dell T420 PowerEdge server with 32 GB Ram (2 x 16 GB DDR-3 1333Mhz speed). What do I need to upgrade to 64 GB Ram since I have 1 processor (4 slots avaiable)? Do I need a single 32 GB DDR-3 or 2 x 16 GB DDR-3 will work here?

Can someone point me to the part numbers?

Thank you very much

Cheers

Thank you very much. I was in doubt if it could support two more 16GB Dim 1333MHz because I realized that the motherboard has 12 SIM slots - blanks (6 per processor) and since I have got 1 processor I have 4 blanks left and I was in doubt about adding two more 16GB Dim 1333MHz with the existing ones.

I appreciate your help.
