Use the following procedure to perform a memory upgrade to the system board: See "Removing the Computer Covers" in Chapter 7. Figure 8-1 shows the relative location of the DIMM sockets on the system board. Figure 8-4 shows the labeling of the DIMMs sockets. Follow the instructions in "Installing DIMMs" or "Removing DIMMs" found later in this section, as appropriate. After the system completes the power-on self-test (POST) routine, it runs a memory test that displays the new memory total, which includes all newly installed memory. NOTE: If the memory total is incorrect, turn off and disconnect the computer and peripherals from their AC power sources, remove the right-side computer cover, and check all the installed DIMMs to make sure they are seated properly in their sockets. Then repeat step 4. The system detects that the new memory does not match the system configuration information, which is stored in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). The monitor displays an error message that ends with the following words: Press to continue; to enter System Setup, to enter Utility Mode. The system should have already changed the value in the System Memory setting to reflect the newly installed memory. Verify the new total by adding the Base Memory and Extended Memory values. If the total is incorrect, one or more of the DIMMs may not be installed properly. Repeat this procedure again, checking to make sure the DIMMs are firmly seated in their sockets. 8-8 Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide

After the system completes the power-on self-test (POST) routine, it runs a mem-
ory test that displays the new memory total, which includes all newly installed

NOTE: If the memory total is incorrect, turn off and disconnect the computer and
peripherals from their AC power sources, remove the right-side computer cover,
and check all the installed DIMMs to make sure they are seated properly in their
sockets. Then repeat step 4.
The system detects that the new memory does not match the system configura-
tion information, which is stored in nonvolatile random-access memory
(NVRAM). The monitor displays an error message that ends with the following
