unRAID does not accurately display my RAM

Hi! 

I have installed unRAID on a server based on a chinese motherboard form huananzhi (x79 8d) with two xeon e5 2670 CPU:s and 64GB of ECC DDR3 memory. I really like the simplicity of unRAID so far and I am running several fun apps 😃

 

Now to my problem. The system information page and "dashboard" only shows 32GB of RAM, even though I see all 64GB in BIOS and when I execute "top" and "free" commands in the console. I can also allocate up to 64GB of RAM when creating a VM. 

 

root@Monsterservern:~# free
            total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:       65900588     3426488    58066292      615880     4407808    61168248
Swap:             0           0           0

 

See the attached images for dashboard and BIOS. 

 

I think that the BIOS in my huananzhi motherboard is a bit strange. It looks like it shows a lot more DIMM slots than are actually physically on the board (8 slots). See attached image. Perhaps this is the reason that unRAID does not include all RAM in the system information? This is not a huge issue, but a bit annoying to me as a perfectionist 😃

 

Also the system information only shows one CPU even though there are two of them, the dashboard shows all 16 threads / 32 cores accurately however. 

 

Is there a way to make unraid detect all my RAM in the system information?

 

Thank you!

Hi! 

Here is the output. Only half of the RAM sticks seem to be there. Also the last line that says that the "DMI table is broken" is interesting. Is that a BIOS issue? 

 

Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 2.8 present.

Are you able to resolve the issue, for me its showing only 16Gb, Where as actual installed ram in 64 GB.

 

Bios shows 64 GB Ram installed. But Unraid is shoiwing 16GB Only
