There may be a variation between the actual memory size and what is displayed. This is due to the fact that your system uses a video graphics chip which dynami- cally allocates system memory to accelerate graphics performance. Up to 224 MB of memory is dynamically shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT).

If the total memory displayed is incorrect, check that your memory upgrade module is properly installed. (If the module is properly installed and the capacity is still not correctly recognized, see Trouble- shooting on page 71.

2 . Insert the memory upgrade module at a 45o angle and press it firmly onto the connector. (Figure 4-11)

3.Press the memory upgrade module down into the compartment until it locks underneath the retaining clip. You will hear a click when it is properly in place.

4.Replace the memory compartment cover. (Figure 4- 12)

The memory upgrade module is not something you routinely remove from your LifeBook notebook. Once it is installed, you should leave it in place unless you want to increase system memory capacity.

CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY

Once you have changed the system memory capacity by replacing the installed module with a larger one, be sure to check that your notebook has recognized the change.

Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Settings -> Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under “Computer:”.
