Memory Upgrade
Module
Your LifeBook notebook comes with 256MB or 512MB
of in-slot high speed Double Data Rate (DDR) Synchro-
nous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) factory installed. To
increase your LifeBook notebook's memory capacity,
you may install a larger memory upgrade module.
If you have 256MB pre-installed, and you would like to
increase it to 512MB, you will need to remove the 256MB
module and replace it with a 512MB module. The
memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM)
SDRAM module. To ensure 100% compatibility,
purchase the memory module only from the Fujitsu web
store at www.fujitsupc.com.
C A U T I O N
The memory upgrade module can be severely damaged
by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Be sure you are properly
grounded when handling and installing the module.

ACCESSING THE MEMORY COMPARTMENT

To gain access to the memory compartment, follow these
steps:

remove any power adapter (AC or auto/airline),
battery pack, and modem connection.
2. Place your LifeBook notebook with the bottom
facing up on a clean work surface.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws
from the holes in the battery compartment.
