When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on

the memory module socket align with the ejectors on the other sockets

that have memory modules installed.

8 Repeat step 5 through step 7 of this procedure to install the remaining

memory modules. See Table 3-2 or Table 3-3.

9 Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on

page 104.

10 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 83.
11 Reconnect your system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn

on the system.

12 Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check the System

Memory setting on the main System Setup screen.
The system should have already changed the value to reflect the newly

installed memory.

13 If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be

installed properly. Repeat step 2 through step 12 of this procedure,

checking to ensure that the memory modules are firmly seated in their

sockets.

14 Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics. See "Running the

System Diagnostics" on page 173.
