Sql production box has 108 GB RAM i allocated Max memory 100 GB for sql server ,in task manager i see 106 GB Used i.e 98% of memory ,My question is when we allocate max memory to sql server it will allocate or sql server request memory when it required and leave the memory to OS.But i see sql server is not taking memory when it required it is locking the memory what it was allocated. please let me know

Don't use Task Manager to check SQL Server's memory, it can display completely incorrect (far too low) values.
Perfmon counter - Total Server Memory.
