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 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 33 for more information)

The System Memory and the Extended Memory capacity,
as detected by your 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.

dure in order for the Save-to-Disk mode to operate
