Installation of additional RAM in T500

Basically, I got my T500 this year with an additional ram to complete the 2 GB, it comes with.  I know where the ram is and how to get there, but I'm confused about how the second ram card goes on top of the old.  The only video on the website lenovo shows a guy put in the first map of ram.  Any instructions on how the second card must be facing, a sign that it is connected, and I have to to see if my computer recognizes the new ram would be very useful.

Thanks in advance.

ajmack2,

I'm going to assume that you now have only 1 module installed, a single 2 GB module in the lower slot.   The modules are memory clavetés so that they can really only go one way.  After removing the keyboard and palm rest, insert the new memory module in the empty holder.  Sometimes, there is a flap or little material there which partially obstructs your vision of the socket.

The module goes into a corner and you insert in to the screen, then press gently downwards.   The holes at each end of the module must be aligned with the clips and they should snap into place.

When you put together and restart, you can check that it's seen either by opening a command prompt and type "winver", or go in start-> my computer-> information system (on the left at the top of the page system tasks).  The general tab of the resultant pop up screen should show you how much memory is available.

Note winver and control panel will report slightly different amounts.  With a 32 bit OS, you will see more 3 GB if, and when you run the integrated graphical mode, you can only see 2.5 GB in some cases because some is reserved for the video.

Best regards

Mark

  • Satellite Z930 - after the update of the BIOS, additional RAM no longer works

    I bought my Z930 Satellite in August and installed 2 GB of additional RAM in it. Worked well, the Ultrabook detected and had total 6 GB of RAM.
    Yesterday, I stopped ignoring these messages from Toshiba Tempro and installed the BIOS update suggested that Bios 2.20 (not sure what version it was before). Now, I have several problems:

    * First *, my Ultrabook no longer starts with the extra RAM. I press the power button and then the power light flashes: yellow 2 times 1 times orange loop. The screen stays black and the CPU fan starts at the maximum level... Only when I remove the extra RAM, then it boots.

    * Second problem *, without my extra RAM, it starts, but sometimes with the fan from the CPU to the maximum level. I so restart it stops.

    * Third problem *, Windows doesn't detect only 2 GB of RAM. I have now no extra RAM mounted, it should detect the 4 GB of RAM, as when I bought it. Now, there are only 2 GB...

    So this is what happens when I install the proposed updates? -.-
    So, what can I do now? At least, I want my preinstalled 4 GB of RAm back. Is there a BIOS downgrade, or something similar to undo changes?

    Thanks for the final suggestions!

  • Installation of additional languages on R12.1.3

    Hi guys,.


    I have a few questions about the installation of additional languages on R12.1.3.

    1.
    If the ebs system is updated from R12.1.1 to R12.1.3 without activating the languages via the R12.1.1 License Manager utility, is allowed to install additional languages in 12.1.3?
    Or is it better to install the patches of the tongue after the new installation of R12.1.1 and before R12.1.3?
    Does make a difference? Which way is recommended as the best practice?


    2
    How it works if we install with DVD for 12.1.1? R12.1.1 DVD includes patches of language for the installation?

    Alternatively, the patches of language must be downloaded from 12.1.1 in oracle e-delivery?
    Also in this case, is it OK to install on 12.1.3 with 12.1.1 patches of language?


    3.
    I checked related documents such as 788053.1 NLS and its other docs.
    But to make sure that I understand, is the procedure in a table to set correct for the installation of additional languages below?
    1 activate the languages through the License Manager utility
    2 put the multilingual tables up-to-date.
    3 install the relevant patches of the NLS
    4. translation synchronization patch utility
    Or, I'm missing some steps?

    Could someone help me with this?
    Thanks in advance,



    See you soon,.

    It does not matter. However, I would recommend that you install NLS 12.1.1 then upgrade to 12.1.3 (Basic + installed languages).

    2

    Alternatively, the patches of language must be downloaded from 12.1.1 in oracle e-delivery?

    Please see (Oracle Applications NLS Release Notes, version 12.1 [788053.1 ID]) - installation of the translations

    Also in this case, is it OK to install on 12.1.3 with 12.1.1 patches of language?

    You cannot install 12.1.1 NLS patches on top of 12.1.3

    Fix.

    The utility of synchronization translation patches should help to provide a list of all the fixes NLS, you must apply.

  • Additional RAM installation

    Hello

    If I install extra RAM into my PC, I have to change the settings in XP or the system will automatically adjust anyway?

    See you soon.

    The computer will do everything for you. No parameters for you to settle.
    Just be certain that the RAM you buy is designed to work with
    your computer. The major vendors of RAM (by example, Crucial, Kingston, Corsair)
    have RAM selectors on their web sites that make it easy to find the
    good memory for your computer.

  • Installation of additional software on ESX

    Hi all

    I had the document in the past, but he lost, can someone point me to some official VMware documentation which indicates whether it is good or bad to install any additional software on the Console of the ESX Service.  I have a customer who complains about (the only one out of many oethsr) performance issues and they want to install a software on ESX 3.0.3 U3 to show that performance issues come from the host itself and not their application.  Virtual MACHINE running this application that is MS Server 2003 1vCPU 1024 MB RAM VMware tools so far, VIC performance shows that they use now, but up to 25% of the resources allocated.

    So I need official documentation to show whether it is good or bad to install additional software on ESX, I really think it's ther app and not ESX.  It is always so easy for the clients used in the physical world to blame VMware for their performance issues.

    Thank you.

    I just found this doc for ESX 3.x:

  • Satellite U920T - 11 c: how to insert additional RAM modules?

    Anyone know if there is a service manual for this model or a schematic representation inside this computer with the lid back.

    Thank you

    The memory of U920T satellite is not user upgraded. This means that if you do want to upgrade the memory, please contact an authorized Toshiba maintainer for assistance.
    In which case you would try to disassemble the laptop by yourself, you will lose the warranty.

    But to my knowledge the U920T Satellite series supports ONE slot memory and memory that one module (max 8GB RAM) can be installed. So even if you do not upgrade the memory, you are limited to 8 GB of RAM.

    Post edited by: AppleHarvest (typo corrected)

    The 4 and 8 GB sticks are not saved while the sticks of 16 and 32 GB are registered. As you seem to know, you can not mix registered and unregistered sticks. For example, you can only add 4 or 8 GB sticks to your present 8 GB sticks

  • Satellite L30-105 does not recognize the 1 GB of additional RAM

    Hi there I hope someone can help me

    I have a Satellite L30-105 PSL33E, which came with 1 GB of ram installed (2 x 512 MB made by TeamViewer)
    and it's terribly slow with vista, not to mention programs.
    The toshiba website says max RAM is 2 GB, so I bought a Kingston 1 GB ram chip to increase the ram to 1.5 GB. I thought should try before moving to 2 GB

    However after installing memory vivid it's show still only 1 GB in windows and in the bios (894 + the rest for video). It has the latest available BIOS on the site 3.10, yet still does not recognize the chip.

    The chip is installed in the lower slot, including the original 512 at the top (closest to the keyboard)

    Are limited to only some of the Satellite of RAM?
    The old subjects indicate if kingston does not work try corsair.
    Other topics suggested to change slots
    Others suggest that it may have only two of the same ram chips in IE 2 x 512 or 2 x 1 GB, you may not have 1 of each

    Can anyone help? everyone knows about similar problems?

    I will not buy any more RAM to try different brands for the same issue to occur

    Hello

    The L30-105 is able to manage the 1024Mo modules in each location it should be able to update the RAM up to 2 GB.

    Perhaps the two modules are not compatible with each other
    I would recommend using two identical modules of the same manufacturing
    I use Kingston modules, they are ok for me

  • Equium A100-147 - how to install additional RAM memory?

    Can someone point me to instructions on how to mount an extra internal memory for a satellite A100-147.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    Upgrading RAM is quite easy: remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter. Turn around the laptop and remove the screw fixing the memory module cover and lift to it. Now you can insert a second memory module.

    Also, check your user manual. You will find more details and photos on this upgrade. It can be downloaded on the site of Toshiba, if you n t have more. ;)
