I have 16GB RAMs, each 2GB. I don't know how to place them in order. Please help me out. It shows error when I go to System Setup about DIMMs being incorrect.

    On the back of the server cover you have a schematic which explains how to populate memory slots. Also, easy search found [official manual](https://dl.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_poweredge/poweredge-r710_owner's%20manual_en-us.pdf) about managing this server hardware. Did you read it and made everything according to the manual? So, add into the question: what exactly modules do you have? How exactly you populated slots? What is the error message (a screenshot or exact text)? – Nikita Kipriyanov Aug 15 '22 at 09:33
  • MEMBIST failure - The following DIMM has been disabled by BIOS: DIMM – DissociatedFun Aug 15 '22 at 09:36
  • I don't understand the manual. It's too confusing for me. Sorry to bother yall. – DissociatedFun Aug 15 '22 at 09:43
  • @DissociatedFun, if you do not want to understand manual you may pay for Dell support to place the RAM. – Romeo Ninov Aug 15 '22 at 09:57
  • My issue is I'm in a middle eastern country where Dell doesn't have support. – DissociatedFun Aug 15 '22 at 10:00
  • Check page 132 from manual. And with single processor you can have 12 or 18GB of RAM. – Romeo Ninov Aug 15 '22 at 10:15
  • I have both CPUs can you tell me which location I need place them. – DissociatedFun Aug 15 '22 at 10:19

    The Dell manual isn't confusing at all and doesn't require any special knowledge. For this matter, it requires only the ability to compare things to pictures and ability to read labels and count; that is elementary school knowledge. If you are unable to understand it, find someone clever, pay them and they will do the work for you. Sorry. – Nikita Kipriyanov Aug 15 '22 at 12:44
  • Check for Dell R710 DIMM slots population videos and examples. There are plenty of those. The thing is that there are specific rules in populating RAM in a dual-socket system. Here's and example: https://cloudninjas.com/collections/poweredge-r710#:~:text=The%20R710%20is%20a%20Dual,two%20unbuffered%20DIMMs%20per%20channel. – Strepsils Aug 21 '22 at 11:09
