I have taken the latest BIOS update and updated successfully but still showing 4GB
If you boot into the BIOS what does it show as available memory in there?
I think processor is not detecting more than 4 gb. Please check this

How much RAM does the system show when it posts (before OS loads)? I suspect that the hardware isn't recognizing the memory module. It could be of the wrong type, or in the wrong slot. This really sounds like a problem for your hardware vendor to resolve.

It is showing only 4GB before the server OS loads
It's certainly not an OS problem, but between your hardware and the RAM module. My guess is that the RAM you added isn't physically seated properly, or isn't compatable.

I tried changing slots with no luck
I am sure there is some settings to be changed as there is 8 RAM slots and I used only 4 out of that

If what @kevinhsieh suggest doesn't solve your problem.
what is the exact model number of your server and what slots are you putting the memory in.

My server is Fujitsu Siemens
Primergy RX300 S4
1nd and 2nd 2x2GB
3rd and 4th I tried but it did not work.
now additional RAM is in 5th and 6TH slots (2x2GB)
So it should show 8GG

make sure in the BIOS under advanced Memory Redundancy is disabled
When I look it up it shows you should only have 6 slots if a single processor and 12 if a dual processor

As mentioned above I swapped the old RAM slots with the new RAM slots. and it is detected
Please contact the hardware vendor and upgrade your BIOS. It will show full memory automatically.
Thanks.
