When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on the memory module socket align with the ejectors on the other sockets that have memory modules installed.

8Repeat step 5 through step 7 of this procedure to install the remaining memory modules. See Table 3-2 or Table 3-3.

9Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud."

10Close the system. See "Closing the System."

11Reconnect your system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn on the system.

12Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check the System Memory setting on the main System Setup screen.

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."
