S7110.book Page 46 Monday, March 20, 2006 1:56 PM LifeBook S7100 Notebook The memory upgrade module is not something you routinely remove from your notebook. Once it is installed, you can leave it in place unless you want to change system memory capacity. REMOVING A MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE 1. Perform steps 1 through 4 of Installing a Memory Upgrade Module. 2. Pull the clips sideways away from each side of the memory upgrade module at the same time. 3. While holding the clips out, remove the module from the slot by lifting it up and pulling towards the rear of your notebook. (Figure 4-13) Figure 4-13. Removing a Memory Upgrade Module 4. Store the memory upgrade module in a static guarded sleeve. 5. Replace the cover. (Figure 4-12) 6. Replace the screws. CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY Once you have changed the system memory capacity by replacing the installed module with a larger one, be sure to check that your notebook has recognized the change. Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Settings -> Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under "Computer:". There may be a variation between the actual memory size and what is displayed. This is due to the fact that your system uses a video graphics chip which dynamically allocates system memory to accelerate graphics performance. Up to 128 MB of memory is dynamically shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). ■ Intel shared graphics allocates 8 MB of the system memory for use as default video memory. If your system is configured with 512 MB of system memory, for example, only 504 MB will be displayed in your system information. ■ If the total memory displayed is incorrect, check that your memory upgrade module is properly installed. (If the module is properly installed and the capacity is still not correctly recognized, see Troubleshooting on page 57. 46
