Figure 4-12. Removing a Memory Upgrade Module
10. Replace the cover and the screws.
The memory upgrade module is not
something you routinely remove from
your notebook. Once it is installed, you
should leave it in place unless you want
to change system memory capacity.
CHECKING THE COMPUTER RECOGNITION
OF NEW MEMORY CAPACITY
Once you have changed the system memory capacity, 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 notebook.
2. Right-click on My Computer.
3. Under the General tab, the amount of memory is
displayed towards the bottom right of the window.
The amount of memory displayed should be approxi-
mately the total of all memory modules installed. There
may be a discrepancy of 8 MB which is allocated for
fixed video memory.
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 55.
