You can refer "System Memory" section on Page 100 of below link for more details on memory configuration for R810. The link also have sample memory configurations. As you have sixteen 16GB modules you can insert it on "A1,A2,A3,A4,B1,B2,B3,B4,C1,C2,C3,C4,D1,D2,D3,D4" slots
My apologies for the delay in response, I was waiting for the extra RAM to arrive so that I could try the configuration you suggested in your response. The configuration works and the server boots with no memory conflict issues which is awesome. I have however run into a new problem. With my new configuration, my game servers are running slower with the extra ram than they were without it (high ping etc). My previous configuration was all 32 x 4GB sticks but they were DDR3 PC-10600 1333mhz. My new ones 16 x 16GB DDR3 PC-8500 1066mhz. The reason I chose those was because the manual said it only runs at the 1066mhz clock speed anyway. Is that the reason the performance is suffering or could it be because I now have empty slots on my board?

I'm not sure also if this is relevant but the 4GB sticks are 2Rx4 and the new 16GB are 4Rx4.
Stats for the 16GB Sticks
These 4GB sticks mixed with These 4GB sticks
Sorry, I was unable to edit my comment above so I had to make a new post.
