TP 760 - Displayed memory value after updating memory

Applicable to: World-Wide

DIMMs are available for increasing memory capacity.

Note: Models 760XL and 760XD have a dip switch on the DIMM adapter card. When a 64MB 2-bank DIMM is installed, the dip switch is located to the left (see Case 2), and the base memory (8MB) on the DIMM adapter card is disabled.

The 64MB 2-bank DIMM can be installed only in slot 2. If the card is installed in slot 1, the card will not be recognized as 64MB DIMM.

Memory errors might stop system operations, show error messages on the screen, or hang the system.

Use the following procedure to isolate memory problems:

2.Press and hold the F1 key; then power-on the computer. Hold the F1 key down until the Easy-Setup screen appears.
3.Select Test and press Enter.
4.Select Memory and press Enter to run the memory test on base memory. If an error appears, replace the system board.
5.Power-off the computer and reinstall the DIMM adapter card; then power-on the computer. Verify the memory size; then test the memory. If an error appears, contact an authorized servicer or the IBM HelpCenter in your area for service.
