I got an email from a colleague who was planning the upgrade on their Dell PowerEdge R710 which was running ESX, there had been some debate about deciding on how much memory to buy and working out the optimum memory configuration in order to match the channels as they were upgrading from 64GB to 128GB. Anyway he said that he found this very helpful, do check it out, it’s their memory upgrade manual and is very informative.  As the document says if you upgrade the memory but do not balance the memory across the channels you might receive a bios error message, the server will still work and boot but you will get the message every time you restart.

The document is here it’s a pdf for download.
