I want to upgrade 2 of our GL380 G6 servers with new memory.
Speed is the highest priority so it would seem best to use 3 channels per socket (2 sockets in use) (use all available slots, a total of 18 4GB modules 1333MHz DDR3 Mirrored, lock-step)
I would like to have 72GB memory installed in the server (18*4gb)
However, when i run the memory config tool it suggest the following:
Qty 4 of HP Option Part # 500656-B21
HP 2GB 2Rx8 PC3-10600R-9 Kit
(HP Module Part # 500202-061)
Qty 8 of HP Option Part # 604506-B21
HP 8GB 2Rx4 PC3L-10600R-9 Kit
(HP Module Part # 605313-071)

7I[empty slot]
8F[empty slot]
9C[empty slot]
This doesn't look like an optimal configuration. The tool won't let me force it to use 3 channels.
Is it possible what i want, or is this really the best way to go?
