Checking New Memory
Now make sure the system recognizes the new memory. To check the amount of memory
on your system, follow these steps:
1.
Press the power switch to turn on the power.
After the power-on diagnostics run, you’ll see a notifier, as shown in Figure 3-14.

System is Coming Up Notifier
The system boots and brings up the login screen.
If no picture appears on your screen and the yellow fault light blinks, one or more
SIMMs are not installed correctly. Turn off the system, remove the cover, and check
that the SIMMs are installed correctly. Then try this procedure again.
2. Log in to your account. For more information on logging in, refer to “Logging In to
the Workstation” on page 27.
When you log in, the default desk appears. In the upper left-hand corner of the
screen are the toolchests.
