R410 Memory Configuration Help

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?

    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.

    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.

    That makes me think you're actually going to need quad-rank, rather than dual-rank.

    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.
