Upgraded RAM, Bios shows 24gb, unraid 8


Recommended Posts

Hi,

i had 2 8GB ram installed, 16 total.

 

Now i ordered 2x 16GB to upgrade it to 32GB.


If i install only one 16GB Server wont start (restart, restart, start no screen and after some time shutoff)

If i install 2 16GB Server wont start (restart, restart, start no screen and after some time shutoff)

 

If i install in slot a 8 GB and in slot b 16gb server will start normal and bios shows 8gb in a and 16gb in b.

 

But unraid only shows 8gb, do i need to do anything to get it working inside unraid, or is it just incompatibity?

 

I thought, if it shows in bios, it should work?!

 

(my mb officially only support max 16gb in both slots, but ive read that sometimes more can also work)

 

Do i need to reset anything in unraid to make a ram upgrade working?

I know its not supported. Tryin doesnt cost anything.

 

I just want to know if its normal that bios shows sticks correct, but they dont show in unraid... I always understanted that if bios shows everything, it should work.


I updated bios via internal tool from them but it seems to not work (it downloads and restarts and then wants to install the same thing over and over again)
