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 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 29 for more informa-
tion).
The ystem memory information is located in the lower
right portion of the window, as detected by your Life-
Book notebook during the Power On Self Test (POST).
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 63)
