Hello,

First recommendation is to bring the system board firmware up to date: iDRAC and BIOS.

If you are very far behind then you may need to step them up.

Also take a review of the owner's manual for memory guide lines and population rules:

Processor specifications page 32

The PowerEdge T430 system supports up to two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 or Xeon E5-2600 v3 product family processors.

Memory pages 107-114

12 DIMM slots: 4GB/8GB/16GB/32GB DDR4 RDIMMs up to 2400MT/s
