I have a dual processor PowerEdge R710 that current has 8 sticks of dual rank 2GB UDIMMS. I am attempting to upgrade the server to 32GB and ordered 2 matching 8GB dual ranked UDIMMS.
Called Dell and well they are unsure does anyone know what would be the correct placement to get this all to work in Optimized mode?
Original Configuration - 16GB Optimized Mode
| A1 = | A4 = | A7 = | A2 = 2GB | A5 = 2GB | A8 = | A3 = 2GB | A6 = 2GB | A9 = |
| B1 = | B4 | B7 = | B2 = 2GB | B5 = 2GB | B8 = | B3 = 2GB | B6 = 2GB | B9 = |
Current Configuration - 28GB Advanced ECC Mode, Replaced the 2GB sticks in A2 and B2 with the 8GB sticks and getting boot error as described but all works other wise.
