10. Replace the cover and the screws.
CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY
Once you have changed the system memory capacity by
replacing the installed module with a larger one, be sure
to check that your notebook has recognized the change.
Windows XP: Check the memory capacity by clicking
[Start] -> Settings -> Control Panel, then double-
clicking the System icon. Select the General tab and
check the amount of memory under “Computer:”
Windows Vista: Check the memory capacity by clicking
[Start] -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance ->
System. The amount of memory is displayed next to
“Memory - RAM:”
The amount of memory displayed should be approxi-
mately the total of all memory modules installed. There
may be a discrepancy which is allocated for fixed video
memory.
The memory upgrade module is not
something you routinely remove from
your notebook. Once it is installed, you
should leave it in place unless you want
to change system memory capacity.
If the total memory displayed is incorrect,
check that your memory upgrade module
is properly installed. If the module is
properly installed and the capacity is still
not correctly recognized, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 55.
