Verifying The Memory Installation - Silicon Graphics Octane2 Duo Installation Manual

Verifying the Memory Installation

007-4506-001
1. Go to Toolchest > System > System Manager > About This System and check the
amount of memory listed after the Main Memory heading.
The amount of memory shown should be the total of the memory that was already
in the system and the additional amount you installed. For example, if the system
originally had 512 MB, and you installed two 512 MB DIMMs, the System Manager
should show that you now have 1536 MB of memory.
2. If the amount of memory is incorrect, follow the directions in "Installing the
Additional System Memory" on page 11 to power off your system and remove the
system module. Then check the installation as follows:
a. Check the angle of the DIMMs. They should be upright and completely seated.
b. Check that each bank is populated with two DIMMs and that they are the same
type. You must have an even number of DIMMs installed.
c. Check the color of the label on each DIMM. Both DIMMs in a bank must be of
the same size and type and must have the same colored label.
d. Continue following the directions on page 11 until the system module is
reinstalled and the system is powered back on.
3. After you have powered on the Octane2 workstation, check the amount of memory
again, as described in step 1. If the amount is still incorrect, see Chapter 7,
"Troubleshooting the Duo Upgrade."
