12.Confirm that the system configuration information reflects the newly installed memory by checking the System Memory value and the Extended Memory value on the Main menu of the system setup program.

To enter the system setup program, press <F2> while the computer is booting. The Main menu appears. If the System Memory value plus the Extended Memory value does not equal the approximate total of the installed memory, the modules may not be installed properly. Repeat steps 1 through 12 until the mem- ory total is correct.

NOTES: The memory total shown in the system setup program may be approxi- mately 384 KB less than the total amount of installed memory.

If the memory module is not installed properly, the computer will not boot. No error message indicates this failure.

13.Run the System Memory test in the Dell Diagnostics to confirm that the installed memory modules operate correctly.

For instructions, see “Running the Dell Diagnostics” in Chapter 2.

14.If you add additional memory to your computer, you must delete and recreate the hibernate (save-to-disk suspend) file on your hard-disk drive to accommodate the new memory.

For instructions, see “Recreating the Hibernate (Save-to-Disk Suspend) File” in Chapter 3.
