Dell R810 Memory (disable sparing) how????
we bought two r810's recently but at separate times.
My (old manager) bought one that had sparing enabled per the packing slip.
This server had 256GB 4 ranked DIMMs at 32 x 8GB and we have upgraded to 512GB 4 ranked DIMMs at 32 x 16GB and were not seeing all 512 cause of sparing. How do i reset this so I can get to non-sparing and utilized all 512GB? Mirroring is not enabled.

My other r810 did not come with this setting and when we upgraded to 512GB all went smooth.

Enter the system bios (F2 during boot), look for 'memory info' select this, a pop up window will appear. Look for 'redundant memory' and set this to disabled. That turns off memory sparing.

We don't have a "redundant memory option in "Memory Info"

I checked with the online manual here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/SYSTEMS/peR810/en/HOM/PDF/R810en.pdf
and the option is listed, see page 63. You could try re-setting the nvram on the motherboard using the jumper and setting everything back to default.

Tried everything and eventually we discovered it was a bad stick, working on getting a replacement.
Thanks for the help
