Upgraded ram in ESX 3.0.2 Ram doesn't show up

I upgraded my server from 16 gig of ram to 24 and ESX still reflects only 16 gig, BIOS memory test shows 24 gig, how can I get ESX to see the added ram without re installing?

It should automatically see it. What type of server is it? Is it the same type of RAM as the 16GB?

Did you by any chance plug the memory in slots related to empty CPU sockets?

Also see this chart for memory rules for that server...
