One of my ram slots is damaged. While particular about balance, the 5810 will allow for a channel to go unused, as well as with mixed capacities.
Known working config is such:
Slot # —> Channel.slot—> Chip
DIMM1 --> ch0.0—> 4g
DIMM2 —> ch1.0 —> 4g
DIMM3 —> ch2.0 —> EMPTY
DIMM4 —> ch3.0 —> 8g
DIMM5 —> ch0.1 —> 4g
DIMM6 —> ch1.1 —> 4g
DIMM7 —> ch2.1 —> EMPTY
DIMM8 —> ch3.1 —> 8gWith proper balance, 4g and 16g sticks can mix. I did not record the configuration that worked for me, but I believe 2x4g sticks in one channel and 1x16g in another, with a third wholly unpopulated channel. Also, balance across both sides of the CPU (odd vs even DIMMs) seemed to work best.

it is quad channel
DIMM# are symmetrically assigned, like mirror image
mobo silkscreen
DIMM2 white DIMM6 black DIMM4 white DIMM8 black CPU DIMM7 black DIMM3 white DIMM5 black DIMM1 white manual may have an error in notation
"chassis" 1, 2, 3, 4 should be "channel" 1, 2, 3, 4

no.. what im looking for (and the manual should have done it this way) is,
channel 0, sub 0 = DIMM #__
channel 0, sub 1 = DIMM #__
etc.. DIMM #'s on the chart.. this would be totally clear

In the Precision 5810, support memory configurations can be installed as follow:
1 stick of RAM, install to DIMM1
2 sticks of RAM, install to DIMM1 + DIMM2
4 sticks of RAM, install to DIMM1 + DIMM2 + DIMM3 + DIMM4
8 sticks of RAM, install to all DIMM slots.
System will support these sticks of RDIMM RAM: 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB.
DIMM slot numbering is imprinted on motherboard and electrical overview label on side panel.
For some working unsupported memory configurations, install the extra stick(s) to the next numbering DIMM slot
