Classic case of not reading the manual carefully enough. In the fine print, it says you have to fill DIMM 1 on Riser 1 before you can fill DIMM 1 on Riser 2 and so on.
Well, now that I've followed the instructions, I have 20GB of 24GB usable, a HUGE improvement. I'm pretty sure I may not have arranged the 2Rx4 memory correctly when mixed in with the 2Rx8 which is probably causing the 4GB loss. I'm going to just go ahead and buy 4 more sticks of RAM to fill the last 4 available slots and play with the arrangement once those come in.
