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 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 switch.
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 35 for more information)
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 main menu screen. The chart below shows
you the possible displays that can be shown on the main
menu screen. In the chart, Slot 1 is the original SDRAM
memory compartment while Slot 2 is the upgrade
compartment located in the center of your LifeBook
notebook.

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
