As the computer boots, it detects the additional memory and automatically updates the system configuration information.
12. Confirm that the system configuration information reflects the newly installed memory by checking the System Memory option on the Main
menu of the Setup program.
To enter the Setup program, press <F2> while the computer is booting. The Main menu appears. If the System Memory total is incorrect,
the memory modules may not be installed properly. Repeat steps 1 through 11 until the memory total is correct.
NOTE: The computer will not boot without a memory module installed, nor if the installed module(s) are not seated properly in the
socket(s). No error message or beep code indicates this failure.

For instructions, see "Running the Dell Diagnostics" in Chapter 3 of the Dell Inspiron 7500 System Reference and Troubleshooting Guide.
