DL120 G6 Memory issue

So I bought new ram for my DL120 G6, but with it installed it does not boot. I thought it might be incompatible so I bought another batch of memory but same result.

I get no display output and no keyboard input, the fans are spinning at pre-boot rpm and iLO says everythings ok.

CPU: Intel Xeon x3740

Previous RAM (if I put it in it works fine) : 4x 2GB-2Rx8-10600E DDR3

New RAM 1: 4x 4GB-2Rx4-10600R DDR3 (Lenovo)

New RAM 2: 4x 4GB-2Rx4-8500R DDR3 (Hynix)

P.S.: It will not boot with only 2 sticks installed either.

Re: DL120 G6 Memory issue

But it says:

Up to 16GB memory is available with the optional installation of 4 x 4GB PC3-8500R RDIMM DDR3 DIMM memory kits, operating at 1066 MHz when fully populated at 2 DIMMs per Channel in 4 slots.

and:

256MB technology, x4 DRAM on UDIMMs and quad-rank UDIMMs are not supported.

but nothing about r-dimms here:

EDIT: and in the quickspecs is nothing about "x4 not supported" only that the standard configs are x8
