This work will be carried out by Hewlett Packard or their appointed agent at a date and time agreed with yourselfs. Some TestBooks may have already been upgraded as part of the normal exchange process, therefore, to establish whether your machine requires the upgrade please refer to the attached procedure.

TestBook Memory Upgrade Check
Your TestBook may have already been upgraded, Please follow the instructions below to determine if your machine requires the upgrade.
1) Behind the screen you will find a label with:
Model Number.
Serial Number
Option
Check the model number,- if model no is 27070 C , then the TestBook will already have been upgraded, no further action is required.
If model number, is 27070 B , please check the following:
1) On or near the above mentioned label, there may be a sticker printed “MEM”. This indicates that the memory upgrade has already been performed and no further action is required.
2) If no “MEM” sticker can be found on a model 27070 B then power up TestBook and watch the message at power-on. You should see a message saying “Please Wait” - below this message will be a number counting up. If this stops at 4096, and the TestBook continues to power on, an upgrade is required.
If, however, the number does not stop at 4096 but continues on to 20,480 - the TestBook already has 20M B of memory and no upgrade is necessary.
