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.

REMOVING A MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE

1. Perform steps 1 through 7 of Installing a Memory
Upgrade Module.

After changing your memory module con-
figuration, you must complete the Reset-
ting the Hibernation (Save-to-Disk)
Parameters procedure in order for the
Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode to oper-
ate properly on your LifeBook notebook.
(See Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) Feature
on page 30 for more information)
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 LifeBook notebook
has recognized the change.
You can check the memory capacity by looking at the
Info menu of the BIOS setup:
1. Turn on the power to your LifeBook notebook using
the Power/Suspend/Resume button.
2. Allow the system to start booting and press the F2
key once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen with
a prompt below it. This will open the main menu of
the BIOS setup with the current settings displayed.
(See BIOS Setup Utility on page 27 for more informa-
tion). Use the right arrow key to select Info in the
BIOS Setup menu.
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 Info menu screen. The chart below shows
the possible displays that can be shown on the screen.
If the total memory displayed is incorrect,
check that your memory upgrade module
is properly installed. (If the module is prop-
erly installed and the capacity is still not
correctly recognized, see the Trouble-
shooting section starting on page 73)
