The only thing I am seeing that could be wrong is the 4gb RDIMM that we sell and support for this server  is  2Rx8 instead of 2Rx4 that you have installed.   Dell's servers are very sensitive to its memory configurations.   Here is the part number and details:

C1KCN 4GB DIMM, 1333MHz, 2RX8X72, 8K, 240, Regulatory  

The only other 4GB dual ranked RDIMM is low voltage:

9J5WF 4GB DIMM, 1333MHz, 2RX8, 8K, 240, Regulatory, Low Voltage

I actually just ran into this issue a week or two ago myself.  The issue is the memory controller on the 3400 series Xeons will only take DIMMS with 128mb, 1Gb and 2Gb memory chips on the DIMM.  2rx8's should work no problem.

If you want to see a bit more on the issue you can read this pdf that has information on compatible memory types with the 3400 series Xeons.

Hope this helps,
