PowerEdge R300 Ram issue's
Hello!
I have an old R300 at home and decided to fix it, i've found what's wrong with it (sort of) but still isn't working fully as i want it to.
i eventually found the issue, my issue was the ram, so i emptied all the slots and tried alot of configurations, but can't find the right configuration that will work, i have 6 x 4gb DDR2 samsung sticks.
Here's some of the one's i've tried: 4-0-0-0-0-0 worked, 4-4-0-0-0-0 worked, 4-4-4-0-0-0 didn't work, 4-4-4-4-0-0 didn't work, 4-4-4-4-4-0 didn't work and 4-4-4-4-4-4 also didn't work.
I think i'm missing a sort of configuration for the ram sticks but i do not know what it is and where to find it, anyone got any idea's?

Hi, Along with Shine's answer, may I also throw in this:
page 103
“The memory module socket has two alignment keys that allow you to install the memory module in the socket in only one way.”

Is all DIMM's are identical and supported by Dell? Can you share the part number of the DIMM? Below could be some of the troubleshooting steps we can try
