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:

Press the Power key to turn your computer on.

Choose About This Macintosh from the Apple (K) menu.

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 a different sound (breaking glass) or see a message that a memory error was detected when the computer started up, there may be a problem with the RAM expansion card. You should remove the 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.

You should run a full memory diagnostic program (not supplied with the computer) to verify the operation of the RAM card. An Apple-authorized technician can advise you about this procedure.
