Memory Checkout

DIMM cards are available for increasing memory capacity.

Memory errors might stop system operations, show error
messages on the screen, or hang the system.

Use the following procedure to isolate memory problems.

Note

Make sure that the DIMM card is fully installed into the
connector. A loose connection can cause an error.

1. Power off the computer and remove the DIMM card

from its slot (if installed).

2. Press and hold the F1 key; then power on the

computer. Hold the F1 key down until the
Easy-Setup screen appears.

3. Select Test and press Enter.
4. Select Memory and press Enter to run the memory

test on base memory. If an error appears, replace
the system board.

5. Power off the computer and reinstall the DIMM card;

then power on the computer. Verify the memory size;
then test the memory. If an error appears, replace
the DIMM card.

If memory problems occur intermittently, use the loop
option to repeat the test. When the test detects an error,
an error log is printed on the printer connected to the
parallel port. See “Error Log” on page 293 for more
information.
