I have a Dell PowerEdge T410 and have installed 16Gb RAM for it.

I don't know if I can extend it to 32Gb, 64Gb, ... RAM on this server.

As the description, it seems I have no such choice.

So my question is, how to know exactly the maximum capacity of memory/RAM of a server?

I need this information so as to verify the number by myself.

ps.

My server is not exactly the same as the description on Dell website - I indeed modify the configuration to meet my budget. Currently my server is my purchased server configuration
