10. Replace the memory module cover.
a. Set the memory module cover loosely over the opening, making sure that
the tabs on the bottom of the cover catch in the slots on either side of the
opening.
b. Slide the cover into place and press down on it until you hear it click.
NOTICE: After installation, if the memory module cover does not fit or is
difficult to close, you may have installed the memory modules
improperly or in the wrong slots. Remove the memory modules and
reinstall them. Do not force the memory module cover to close because
you may damage your computer.
11. Reattach any peripherals you disconnected in step 4 to the computer.
12. Reconnect your computer and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn
them on.
As the computer boots, it detects the presence of additional memory and
automatically updates the system configuration information.
13. In one of the following ways, verify that the computer recognizes the newly
installed memory:
•
Click the Start button, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and
double-click the System icon. Click the General tab
The amount of memory installed in the computer is displayed in the lower-
right corner of the General tab window.
•
Enter the System Setup program to verify that the System Memory option
reflects the additional memory.
To enter the System Setup program, press <Fn><F1> on the computer's
keyboard (or press <Scroll Lock><F1> on an external keyboard if the
External Hot Key option is enabled in the System Setup program).
If the total amount of random access memory (RAM) displayed is incorrect, the
memory module(s) may not be installed properly. Repeat steps 1 through 13 until
the total amount of RAM displayed is correct.
14. Run the System Memory device group of the Dell Diagnostics to confirm that all
installed memory modules are operating correctly. For instructions, see "Running
the Dell Diagnostics" in Chapter 3.
15. Use the save-to-disk (S2D) suspend utility to update the S2D partition on your
hard-disk drive. For instructions, see "Save-to-Disk Suspend Utility" in Chapter 4.
NOTE: The S2D partition receives the system data transferred during save-to-disk
suspend mode.
