I have a System Centos 7 has been running with 768GB of Ram for a couple of years now . added 512 GB ram to bring itthe 1.25 TB of ram.
Installed it no problem , the Mother sees it , lshw sees it , However the OS is only reporting using 1TB of ram

I'm sure it is something simple I'm missing. But I can't figure it out

Code:
[root@xtc kernel]# lshw

I have the same problem.
Have you resolved it?
Welcome to the forums
the original poster has not been seen in over a year, you would do better starting a new thread of your own.
With ram, the MB and CPU may see what you have installed, but if it exceeds the design parameters of the MB or CPU, only the design maximum will get used. [when needed]
 
I found the solution.
See attachment.
