Checking the Memory Capacity
Once you have changed the system memory capacity by replacing the installed module with a larger one,
be sure to check that your notebook has recognized the change.
Windows 7: Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel, then (while in Category
view) clicking the System and Security icon. Select the System icon and check the amount of memory
next to “Installed memory (RAM):”.
Windows XP: Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Settings -> Control Panel, then double-
clicking the System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under “Computer:”
Windows Vista: Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel -> System and
Maintenance -> System. The amount of memory is displayed next to “Memory - RAM:”
The actual memory size and what is displayed may vary. This is possible if your system is configured with
a graphics controller which dynamically allocates system memory to accelerate graphics performance.
3 While holding the clips out,
remove the module from the
slot by lifting it up and pulling it
away from your notebook.
4 Store the memory upgrade
module in a static guarded
sleeve.
5 Replace the cover and reinstall
the screws.
Figure 24. Removing a Memory Upgrade Module
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 TROUBLESHOOTING ON PAGE 84.
