CHECKING THE COMPUTER RECOGNITION OF NEW MEMORY CAPACITY
Once you have changed the system memory capacity
by either adding or removing a memory upgrade
module, be sure to check that your notebook has
recognized the change.
You can check the memory capacity by looking at the
main menu of the BIOS setup:
1. Turn on the power to your notebook using the
power switch.
2. Allow the system to start booting and press the key
once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. This will
open the main menu of the BIOS setup with the
current settings displayed. (See BIOS Setup Utility on
page 41 for more information)
The System Memory and the Extended Memory
capacity, as detected by your notebook during the Power
On Self Test (POST), are displayed at the bottom of the
main menu screen. The chart below shows you the
possible displays that can be shown on the main menu
screen. In the chart, Slot 1 is the original SDRAM
memory compartment while Slot 2 is the upgrade
compartment located in the center of your notebook.
POINT
After installing your added memory module, you must
complete the Resetting the Save-to-Disk Parameters
procedure in order for the Save-to-Disk mode to oper-
ate properly on your LifeBook. (See Save-to-Disk Mode
on page 44 for more information)
POINT
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 the Troubleshooting sec-
tion starting on page 73)
