I think I've found the answer:
- The 16Gb sticks are -registed- modules.
- The 32Gb sticks are Load-Reduced Modules.
The 13th gen server configuration document ([1]) states:
"Only one type of DIMM is allowed per system: RDIMM, or LRDIMMs. They cannot be
mixed."
So, I must look for 32Gb sticks that are RDIMMs and not LRDIMMs unless I
want to change all of the previous memory.

Too bad, I'll pass..

Hi Rene,
I'm not too concerned about thermal. I'm concerned about this 13th gen server
not accepting the quad-rank DIMMs.
Thanks,
Vincent

Here's a hint why Dell doesn't allow certain server models to use
LRDIMMs:"PowerEdge R720xd with 3.5 inch hard-drive configuration does not
support LRDIMMs due to thermal limitations."
