We need more Ram. I not sure if I'm reading the User Manual right, so I just wanted to confirm with you folks.
We currently have 12 X 2GB Dual Ranked RDIMMs for 2 CPUs, Optimized. 24 GB total, the original configuration purchased from Dell.
I'd like to swap out 4 of the 2GBs for 4 new 8GBs, that'll give us new total of 40GBs (4*8 + 8*2). Does this sound right? So this will be "mixed" configuration. I'm assuming that with 2CPUs, and per guideline a) "all channels must hace identical configuration" and b) "memory for each processor must be identical" , means that memory upgrades must be in groups of 4, 4 being the minimum.
Do I simply swap in the new 4 8GBs into sockets #1 & #2 on each of the 2 sets of sockets? Will we still be "Optimized" mode?
Your comments are really appreciated!
