R510 Memory Upgrade Suggestion
I have a R510 with 16 GB (4x4 GB ) with single E5620 2.40 GHz CPU. I want to upgrade the memory to 24 or 32 GB.
I would like to know the recommended memory module for this server which has all server memory specifications.
Thanks for your time.

Sree88,
With the R510 only having a single processor you are limited. You can get to 24gb with 3 8GB dimms, or 48gb with 3 16gb dimms. There is no way to achieve 24gb using the existing dimms, you would have to go to the 8gb or 16gb dimms.
Let me know if this helps.

With the larger sized dimms it isn't validated to use 4 8gb or larger dimms. You can use 4 dimms on a single processor, but that is 4gb dimms and smaller. With 4 8/16gb dimms installed you would need a second processor installed for it to be Optimal.Now that being said, you can try adding them and it will possibly give you an error on POST about not being "optimal" and may prompt you to hit F1 to continue POST.

Now we have decided to replace with 48 GB (16 x 3). please help us to purchase the specific memory module which has all required features for R510. do u have any suggestions or recommendations? please help... Thank you.
