Poweredge R610 memory upgrade
Hi all,
So I have a few R610s I want to upgrade the memory on. I read the documentation I found at support but I'm still slightly confused. They're all single processor (On the A side) with six 2GB DIMMS. (total of 12GB) I need to upgrade to 20-24GB. If I read things right, I can't use the B side since there's no processor.. What would be the best way to do this and is there some clearer documentation on how the memory banks/channels work? I read that it makes a difference where you install the DIMM (A1 A2 A3 etc..) but I couldn't figure it out past that. I also read that if you use all 6 on one side, it drops the bus speed to 800mhz. Is that correct? I appreciate any help!
Thanks!

Hi,
With BIOS update 1.1.4 it supports two DIMMs per channel at 1333. Since the system only has two DIMMs in each channel it will work at full speed with all of the slots populated. So to get to desired memory amount you would need six 4GB DIMMs. ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_poweredge/poweredge-r610_Owner%27s%20Manual2_en-us.pdf
