back of your LifeBook notebook.

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
main menu of the BIOS setup:
1. Turn on the power to your LifeBook notebook.
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 27 for more information).
The memory capacities, as detected by your LifeBook
notebook during the Power On Self Test (POST), are
displayed in the bottom corner of the screen. The chart
below shows you the possible displays that can be shown
on the main menu screen.

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 51)
