Making Sure Your Computer Recognizes the New Memory

After installing additional memory in your PowerBook, check whether the computer
recognizes the new memory. Do the following:

1

Start up your computer.

2

When you see the Mac OS desktop, choose Apple (K) > About This Mac.

The total includes the amount of memory that originally came with the computer plus the
new memory you added. For a more detailed breakdown of the amount of memory installed
in your computer, click the More Info button.

If the memory is not recognized or your computer does not start up correctly, shut down
your PowerBook and check the instructions again to make sure that the memory you
installed is compatible with this PowerBook and that it is installed correctly. If you still have
problems, remove the memory and consult the support information that came with the
memory or contact the vendor who provided the memory.
