Dell R710 Memory Configuration

I have 10 16gig RDIMMS in each of my 3 R710 servers (160).  There are 18 memory channels in the R710 but I'm not seeing any reference to memory configurations above 128g.   How high can I go.

The servers were purchased with 48 gig, 6 - 8gig, I added 4 - 8gig in 2012 and then pulled out all the 8 gig and replaced them with 16gig.

Just a point of clarification: There 18 memory SOCKETS (slots) in the R710, not channels. There are 3 CHANNELS per processor.

Memory population rules and limitations, including for configurations up to 288GB, are discussed here:
