Checking to make sure a RAM card is properly installed
Once you have completed the process for installing a RAM expansion card,
you can check to make sure the additional RAM is now available on your
computer. Follow these steps:
1Press the Power key to turn your computer on.
2Choose About This Macintosh from the Apple (
K
) menu.
3 Look at the number of the total memory in your computer.
Your total memory should be the built-in memory plus the amount of
memory in the RAM expansion card that you just installed.
If the total memory number does not include the amount of RAM you
installed, review the steps in this appendix to make sure you installed the
card correctly. If you need more help, see an Apple-authorized dealer.
If you hear an unusual startup sound when the computer starts up, there may
be a problem with the RAM expansion card. If you installed the RAM
expansion card in your computer yourself, review the steps in this appendix to
make sure you installed the card correctly. If you purchased an expansion card
from a third-party manufacturer, contact the manufacturer for help.
