PowerEdge R430 and R530.
Hi I would like to clarify on how many RAM slots does PowerEdge R430 and R530 have for 1 processor?
i wanna upgrade to 128GB RAM. but dell only tells me that it has 6 ram slots. as from the technical manual that i saw from dell support from the server service tag, it shows me 8 ram slots available.
Thanks.

First processor has 8 memory slots, second processor has 4 memory slots.
Your system contains 12 memory sockets split into four sets— two sets of 4 sockets and two sets of 2 sockets each. DIMMs in sockets A1 to A8 are assigned to processor 1 and DIMMs in sockets B1 to B4 are assigned to processor 2. Each 4-socket set is organized into two channels and each 2–socket set is organized into one channel. In each channel of the 4-socket set, the release levers of the first socket are marked white and those of the second socket are marked black. In the 2-socket set, each release lever is marked white.

I guess that someone may have mistakenly assumed from the total 12 memory sockets being divided into 6 sockets for each processor.
