PowerEdge R510 Memory Upgrade
I have looked through a lot of similar posts but still am unsure of how I should approach this.
We have a PE R510 Single CPU with 3x8GB memory modules. Current Memory Operating Mode is Optimizer.
Current Configuration (according to OMSA):
DIMM_A1: 8GB DDR3
DIMM_A2: 8GB DDR3
DIMM_A3: 8GB DDR3
DIMM_A4: Empty
DIMM_B1: Empty
DIMM_B2: Empty
DIMM_B3: Empty
DIMM_B4: Empty
I have 2x16GB modules on hand and am wondering if it is possible to add these 2 modules to this server to increase available memory. Is it possible and if so what slots would I add them to?
Thanks
Kevin

Thanks Robert. That makes sense. It may be a few days before I try it but I will report back with how it went.

Hi Robert,
It did not work, during boot there was a message along the lines of A1, A2, A3 must be the same. Booted into windows fine though. I tried a few different combinations but in the end I realized it was a Windows Server 2008 R2 Std server so it only supports 32GB of memory. Just used the 2 16GB modules in A1 and A4 and that's working fine.
Thanks for your help.
