R520 memory configuration.
Hi,
I have an R520 with 4 x 16GB DDR3 1600 MHz DIMMs and I am looking to add in another 4 of the same size and speed, with part number JDF1M.
I was expecting slots A1,B1,A2,B2 to be populated, but it is A2,B2,A3,B3.
Is it OK for me to add the new DIMMs in to A1,B1 and then A4 and B4 ? Just wanted to double check in case this had any specific configuration required.

Hello GlasgIT,
I see you are planning to add additional memory matching what you currently have.
Depending on what your memory mode in the BIOS -
If you have, or change to, Advanced ECC use:
A2, A3, A5, A6, B2, B3, B5, B6
If you have, or change to, Optimized mode you can use:
A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, B4
Memory guideline on Page 37-41 Modes described here also : https://dell.to/3jAAVcI
Please let me know if this helps.
