One of two types of memory cards
can be used, IC DRAM card or DIMM card.

Memory errors might stop system operations, show error messages on
the screen, or hang the system.
The computer detects memory parity errors but
does not correct them.
Use the following procedure to isolate memory problems.
- Check whether or not the memory card use parity or non-parity.
NOTE:
Installing a non-parity memory card causes parity
errors when parity checking is enabled.
If the non-parity memory card is installed,
disable the parity check through the Easy-Setup configuration screen.
- Make sure that the memory card is fully seated
in the connector. A loose connection can cause an error.
- Power-off the computer and remove the IC DRAM card, or DIMM card
from its slot (if installed).
- Press and hold the F1 key, then power-on the computer.
Hold the F1 key down until the Easy-Setup screen appears.
- Select Test and press enter.
- Select Memory and press enter to
run the memory test on base memory. If an error appears, replace the
memory card.
- Power-off the computer and reinstall the IC DRAM card or DIMM card,
then power-on the computer.
Verify the memory size, then test the memory.
If an error appears, replace the IC DRAM card or the DIMM card.
If memory problems occur intermittently,
use the loop option to repeat the test.
When the test detects an error,
an error log is printed on the
printer connected to the parallel port.
See 'Error Log' for more information.
