Installing a Memory Upgrade Module.

CHECKING THE COMPUTER RECOGNITION
OF NEW MEMORY CAPACITY

Once you have changed the system memory capacity, be
sure to check that your LifeBook 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 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 29.

The System Memory and the Extended Memory
capacity, as detected by your LifeBook during the Power
On Self Test (POST), are displayed at the bottom of the
main menu screen.

P O I N T

After installing your new memory module, you must
complete the Resetting the Save-to-Disk Parameters
procedure in order for the Save-to-Disk mode to
operate properly on your LifeBook. See “Save-to-Disk
Mode (Windows 98 Second Edition models only)” on
page 32.

P O I N T

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
section. See “Troubleshooting” on page 51.
