Memory removal and installation - PC Server 320

Troubleshooting


Problem

This document contains instructions on how to install memory.

Resolving The Problem

After you add (or remove) extended memory, you must update the EISA Configuration Diskette.

Note:
Not performing the following procedure could result in memory errors, and in the operating system not recognizing the added (or removed) memory.

1. Start the EISA Configuration Diskette.
2. Select Step 3: View or edit details. The system information appears.
3. Under Advanced System Feature Setup , select Total System Memory.
4. Select the correct amount of memory, then press F10.

Note:
It is possible to install single-inline-memory-modules (SIMMs) in combinations where the total amount of memory installed does not appear on the memory configuration screen. In the unlikely event that this occurs, select the next lower setting on the memory configuration menu, and all of the installed memory will be supported on the server.

5. Return to the Main Menu, save the configuration, and exit from the utility program.
