Hi Experts.
We are facing a problem related to RAM memory modules in M4000 servers.
Our goals is to increase the memory in M4000 servers
to 64 GB RAM in total.
To achieve that we ordered 16 GB memory modules with 8
* 2GB DIMMS configuration for all servers mentioned below (without knowing RAM rules).
Now we need to know from experts,
what is the best configuration of RAM modules (or CPU's along) needs to be purchased for below servers
and if in any server , already purchased --> "16 GB memory modules with 8
* 2GB DIMMS configuration" can work for us.

Server 3 - We have ordered one new M4000 server (not arrived yet). We believe it will come with 32GB of RAM (factory default) and we need to expand it to 64GB.
But not sure, what memory configuration it will come by default. And in what configuration additional RAM needs to be purchase.
If factory build M4000 servers come with a standard memory configuration like single module of 32 GB ram ?
############
All help will be much appreciated.
