10.1.3 Making Sure Your Workstation Recognizes Its Memory Modules
Once you’ve installed new memory, you need to make sure your workstation
recognizes it.
1. Turn on your system unit.
2. If your workstation software is set to start automatically, shut it down:
Type
shutdown -h now
and press Return.
3. When you see the console prompt (>>), type
cnfg 3
and press Return.
You’ll see a display that begins with a line more or less like this:
3:
KN02-CA
DEC
T1.2a
TCF0
(16 MB)
Below this line you’ll see several more lines of information. At the bottom
of the display is a section that looks like this:
dcache
( 64 KB), icache ( 64 KB)
mem( 0):
a0000000:
a03fffff
( 4 MB)
mem( 1):
a0400000:
a07fffff
( 4 MB)
mem( B):
a0800000:
a0ffffff
( 8 MB)
4. The information in the parentheses at the end of the last three lines tells
you how much memory your system is recognizing.
