Ram tester

To test RAM:

First, insert the ram into one of the motherboards placed on the wall. Make sure that the bumps are lined up currectly with the holes on the RAM sticks.

Then, use the consoles to switch to the correct computer.to switch from one console to the other, use the console on the bottom.

Once the computer has turned on, enter BIOS. Check the Ram amount that is listed on the main page. Make sure that it is the correct amount. Then, in the advanced area of BIOS, change the RAM type is set to the correct values (e.g. PC66 PC100 PC133, do not use any other values!) Then save and exit BIOS, often with F10.

The computer will boot up into the RAM testing program, then it will automactically start testing. The computer will have to go through two passes before the RAM test is complete. If the test is sucessful, then the RAM is good!


If you have any questions, ask Patrick or any other staff member.
