LifeBook E Series – Section 4
CHECKING THE COMPUTER RECOGNITION
OF NEW MEMORY CAPACITY
Once you have changed the system memory capacity
by either adding or removing a memory upgrade
module, be sure to check that your LifeBook has
recognized the change.
You can check the memory capacity by looking at the
main menu of the BIOS setup:
1. Turn on the power to your LifeBook using the power
switch.
2. Allow the system to start booting and press the F2
key once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. This
will open the main menu of the BIOS setup with the
current settings displayed. (See BIOS Setup Utility on
page 39 for more information)
The System Memory and the Extended Memory
capacity, as detected by your LifeBook during the Power
On Self Test (POST), are displayed at the bottom of the
main menu screen. The chart below shows you the
possible displays that can be shown on the main menu
screen. In the chart, Slot 1 is the original SDRAM
memory compartment while Slot 2 is the upgrade
compartment located in the center of your LifeBook.
POINT
After installing your added memory module, you must
complete the Resetting the Save-to-Disk Parameters
procedure in order for the Save-to-Disk mode to
operate properly on your LifeBook.
(See Hibernation
(Save-to-disk) Feature on page 43 for more
information)
POINT
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 the Troubleshooting
section starting on page 69)
