After you open and close the cover, the chassis intrusion detector, if enabled, causes the following message to appear on the screen at the next computer start-up:

ALERT! Cover was previously removed.

8.Reset the chassis intrusion detector by changing Chassis Intrusion to Enabled or Enabled-Silent.

NOTE: If a setup password has been assigned by someone else, contact your network administrator for information on resetting the chassis intrusion detector.

9.The computer detects that the new memory does not match the existing configuration information and generates the following message:

The amount of system memory has changed.

Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility

10.Press <F2> to enter system setup and check the value for System Memory.

The computer should have changed the value of System Memory to reflect the newly installed memory. Verify the new total. If it is correct, skip to step 12.
