After the system completes the power-on self-test (POST) routine, the system
runs a memory test that displays the total memory of all installed DIMMs, includ-

NOTE: If the memory total is incorrect, turn off your computer and peripherals
and disconnect them from their power sources, remove the computer cover, and
make sure that the installed DIMMs are seated properly in their sockets. Then
