Is my swap partition active?

I just installed 2009 spring. The swap partition is sda5, about 287 MB. I ran top and noticed that Swap total is 0k. Does that means my swap partition is not working?

 

top - 15:36:40 up 5 min,  2 users,  load average: 5.57, 3.20, 1.33
Tasks:  72 total,   5 running,  67 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s): 90.1%us,  9.6%sy,  0.0%ni,  0.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.3%si,  0.0%st
Mem:    254392k total,   168932k used,    85460k free,     7068k buffers
Swap:        0k total,        0k used,        0k free,    83476k cached

It looks to me like you do not have a swap partition
