Optiplex DT 7010 Ram Upgrade

I own many Optiplex DT 7010's, purchased with 4GB of ram.  The Dell technical manual suggests (4) 4x4gb DDR3 PC3 12800R maximum.  I purchased (4) pcs, as specified, but they did not work.  Looking at the existing 4mb ram it states 2rx8 on it, but the 4 purchased parts state 2Rx4.  Is this the reason these will not work, and do I need to purchase (4) x 2Rx8's?

What does the crucial memory configurator tell you on crucial's website? What brand/specs RAM is this? It is good of you to notice the 2rx8 specs, that may be part of the issue.

Do you have the latest BIOS's installed?

Crucial 2GB DDR3-1600 UDIMM

CT3308502

DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.5V • 256Meg x 64 •

I have not updated the BIOS, should that be done, for a better memory upgrade?
