Go to SolutionDell R710 add additional memory
Hello,
I have recently acquired a Dell R710 with 96gB, "6x16gB 2Rx4 PC3L-12800R" of memory. Memory is in slots A1, A2, A3 and B1, B2, B3. I will be using this system as a single ESXi host in my home.
If I want to add another 96gB of RAM, are either of the following options acceptable?
- 6x16gB (A4, A5, A6 and B4, B5, B6)
- 12x8gB (A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9 and B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9)
I would be using "2Rx4 PC3L-12800R" as I know that there are issues with quad rank modules.
Other suggestions are welcomed.
Regards

I would recommend first option of all 16GB memory. Refer below link for details
you can mix 8GB and 16GB also on same server. You need to ensure "General Memory Module Installation Guidelines" mentioned on page 129 of below link are followed
