Dell Server Will Not Take New Memory
Tried to upgrade memoryfrolm 24GB to 48GB. Will not take new memory. Came back with no memory. Already flashed the bios to 2.7.0. The other server had no problem. Is there a solution to this?

Make sure and follow the memory population rules. Page 82:

If you still have issues, try using only the new memory, and see if it will recognize it. If the server will recognize the old memory, but not the new memory, then there is some compatibility issue going on.
You could also install the minimum memory needed to post, then slowly add memory until you get an error. This would help narrow down to a specific slot, or memory module.
Thanks.
