r810 memory is not optimal

Question

Hi,

First time server owner here so please forgive me if this question is blazingly obvious to the average user.

I have a dell poweredge r810 with 64Gb of ram.

Made up of eight 8Gb dimms inserted into A1,A2 B1,B2 C1,C2 D1,D2

However, I get the message "the memory config is not optimal, press f1 etc.,"

This is how the r810 was delivered to me, I have not changed anything.

Should I configure it differently?

Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

Hello,

There is a good chance that reconfiguring your memory would be beneficial. I would refer you to page 100 of the owner's manual, it begins a section about memory population. You'll want to use a memory configuration that matches with your processor configuration and this document should help.
