if each cpu (4 cpu total) using only one dimm ok? (16gb) or need at least 2 dimm per cpu

One dimm per cpu should be fine as long as they are the same size and type.
You should be fine with the setup you have for the raid arrays but make sure you set which drives you want to be hot swapable.
The manual makes no reference to one long beep but states:
"1 beep Refresh Circuits have been reset (Ready to power up)"
and
"1 continuous beep System overheat System overheat,"
so unless you are running into other issues I would guess that it may be what they are considering a short beep.
If you want to check, pull out the dimms and boot the machine and it should respond with "5 short beeps and 1 long beep" indicating "no memory in the system". This will show the difference between long and short beeps.
