Follow the instructions in “Installing a DIMM” or “Removing a DIMM,” as appro- priate, found later in this section.

After the system completes the power-on self-test (POST) routine, the system runs a memory test that displays the total memory of all installed DIMMs, includ- ing those you just installed.

NOTE: If the memory total is incorrect, turn off your computer and peripherals and disconnect them from their power sources, remove the computer cover, and make sure that the installed DIMMs are seated properly in their sockets. Then repeat this step.

The system detects that the new memory does not match the existing system configuration information, which is stored in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), and generates the following message:

The system should have already changed the value in the System Memory cate- gory to reflect the newly installed memory. Verify the new total.

NOTES: If the memory total is incorrect, turn off your computer and peripherals and disconnect them from their power sources, remove the computer cover, and check the installed DIMMs to make sure that they are seated properly in their sockets. Then repeat steps 6 and 7.

The value of System Memory is given in kilobytes (KB). To convert KBs to MBs, divide the KB total by 1024.
