11. Attach the DIMM adapter to the computer.
1.Turn over the DIMM adapter.
2.Place it into the memory slot and then align its connector 
with that of the memory slot 
.
3.Press on the shaded area 
until the DIMM adapter snaps into the memory slot connector.
Press on three points (both sides and center) of the shaded area.
4.Make sure the DIMM adapter is firmly connected.
12.Replace the memory slot cover:

as shown.
2.Slide the memory slot cover until it snaps into the computer.
3.Make sure the latch is in the correct position, as shown.
13.To confirm that the DIMM is correctly attached to the computer, do the following:
1. Calculate your total memory size by adding the DIMM memory size to the base memory size (for example, 7808KB).
For example, if you installed two 16MB DIMMs in addition to 7808KB base memory, the total memory size can be calculated as follows:
16(MB) x 2 x 1024(KB) + 7808(KB) = 40576(KB)
2.Start Easy-Setup and confirm the memory size count at the upper left corner of the screen as shown:
|
40576 KB OK
|
|
Note: |
If a 201 error code appears under the memory count, turn off the computer and go to "Installing and Removing the DIMM for the 760E, 760ED, or 760EL" to reinstall the DIMM.
|
40576 KB OK 201 |
3.Is the total memory size the same as the value you calculated in step 1?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Turn off the computer and go to "Installing and Removing the DIMM for the 760E, 760ED, or 760EL" to reinstall the DIMM.
4.Select Test from the main menu of Easy-Setup; then select Memory.
The memory test starts.

Note: |
To prevent the installed DIMMs from being removed from the computer, attach a lock to the security keyhole. See "Using the Security Lock".
