The system should have already changed the value to reflect the newly installed memory.
13If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be installed properly. Repeat step 2 through step 12 of this procedure, checking to ensure that the memory modules are firmly seated in their sockets.
14Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics. See "Running the Embedded System Diagnostics" on page 112.
