I am in the process of upgrading the RAM in our dual-processor R410 and would like to verify the configuration before buying the memory. If I am reading the documentation correctly, I believe the following memory configuration should work giving us a total of 124GB in Optimizer mode.
using dual-rank 16GB DDR3 RDIMMs (Kingston KTD-PE313LV/16G)
A4 - 16GB
A1 - 16GB
A2 - 16GB
A3 - 16GB
B4 - 16GB
B1 - 16GB
B2 - 16GB
B3 - 16GB
Can anyone confirm that this configuration should work correctly?
Can you provide a little more information on your response? I can't find anything in either the Hardware Manual or the Tech Guide that makes me think dual-rank won't work. It sounds like if I use quad-rank, I can only use two channels per processor, limiting me to 64GB total.
I apologize, I responded too quickly without thinking it through. Regardless, as of BIOS version 1.1.5, support for 16GB DIMMS was added, and dual rank DIMMS in optimizer mode should be no problem.

Hi dougpenny,
The memory configuration looks fine, ftp.dell.com/.../poweredge-r410_Owner%27s%20Manual_en-us.pdf page 120
Fully populating with identical DIMMs is a supported configuration.
