Additional Information

For information, see “REPLAY” on page 162.

Purpose

Use at the server console to configure the operating system to recognize

installed memory above the amount of memory that is automatically

registered. NetWare

6 can address up to 4 GB.

IMPORTANT: Use the REGISTER MEMORY command only if absolutely

necessary. Manually registering memory can cause memory fragmentation.

Ideally, you should upgrade the system board so that NetWare’s automatic memory

registration will work.

Before using REGISTER MEMORY, try the following:

 Review the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files to make sure

nothing is being loaded on the server that prevents memory recognition:

sometimes a real mode driver or a memory manager stops NetWare from

registering memory above 64 MB.

 If your server contains an older network board, such as many ISA and

MCA devices, upgrade to a newer board.

 If you have access to the World Wide Web, search the knowledge base at

http://support.novell.com for Register Memory topics.
