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 LifeBook notebook using
the power switch.
2. Allow the system to start booting and press the [F2]
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 33 for more information)
The System Memory and the Extended Memory capacity,
as detected by your LifeBook 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.
POINT
After installing your memory module, you must com-
plete the Resetting the Save-to-Disk Parameters proce-
dure in order for the Save-to-Disk mode to operate
properly on your LifeBook notebook.
(See Hibernation
(Save-to-Disk) Feature on page 37 for more informa-
tion)
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 Troubleshooting on
page 61.
