Mixing Quad and Dual rank FBDIMMs on the S5000PSL?

Hello folks

Can someone help me figure out if it is possible to mix quad and dual rank FBDIMMs on the S5000PSL?

I have been looking at the Technical Product Specifications v1.7 and it has a short section on quad rank, but I'm not sure i understand it correctly.

I currently have populated 4 of the 8 sockets using 4GB QUAD rank FBDIMMs for a total of 16GB.

Can I also put in an additional two dual rank 4GB FBDIMMs?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards

Dfir

Ideally it should be OK, but I can't not promise compatibility since the configuration hasn't been tested. And, it's always tested to use memory from http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5000psl/sb/CS-022924.htm Tested memory list.
