Memory BIOS error
Hello all
To my Poweredge R710 i had 12 GB of memory occupying the BANKS of each processor 1,2,3
The memory type was ELPIDA 2GB 2Rx8 PC3-8500E ECC DIMM Unbuffered
I acquired 2 more DIMMS of:
SAMSUNG 2GB 1Rx8 PC3-10600E Unbuffered.
I put them as follows:
Processor A:
Banks A1, A2, A4 and A5 Samsung Memory
And Processor B:
Banks B1, B2, B4 and B5 with Elpida memory.
Now each time i start the windows i have an error after the memory diagnostics:
UNSUPPORTED CONFIGURATION: DIMM CONFIGURATION ON EACH CPU SHOULD MATCH.
It enters at Windows and i can see the full 16GB.
Is there a problem to leave it like this? or how can i resolve the issue.
thx

Then just change Daniel's answer according to the changes in your scenario:
A1,A2,B1,B2 with the Elpida memory
Then
A4, A5, B4, B5 with the Samsung memory.
You can't have all the Elpida in the A slots and all the Samsung in the B slots ... both processors must have exactly matching configurations (one processor should mirror the other).

Hello and thank you for your reply.
I did a mistake in my explanation above.
At Processor A i have
Banks A1, A2, A4 and A5 with Samsung Memory
And Processor B:
Banks B1, B2, B4 and B5 with Elpida memory.
That means that i cannot do what you tell me to do cause i have 4 DIMMS of Elpida and 4 Dimms of Samsung.
Is there any other combination of memory which i can do in order not to have the erorr message from the BIOS?
thx
