Installing Blade Components

12 (Optional) 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 1 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

System Diagnostics" on page 197.
