Installing System Components
11
Enter the System Setup program, and verify that the value for System
Memory reflects the newly installed memory (see "Entering the System
Setup Program" on page 41).
NOTE:
If the value for System Memory is incorrect, one or more of the
memory modules may not be installed properly. Reseat the memory modules
in their connectors and check the value again. If the problem persists, run the
system memory test in the system diagnostics (see "Running the System
Diagnostics" on page 163).
Processor
You can upgrade your processor to take advantage of future options in speed and
functionality. The processor and its associated internal cache memory is
contained in a land grid array (LGA) package that is installed in a ZIF socket on
the system board.
