Memory Upgrade
Module
Your LifeBook notebook has two memory
slots, and the system comes with 256 MB,
512 MB, or 1 GB of factory-installed
memory. If you have a module installed in
only one slot, you can increase your Life-
Book notebook's memory capacity by
installing another memory upgrade
module in the empty slot or by increasing
the size of the single installed module. The
minimum amount of memory in your
system is 256 MB; the maximum amount
is 2 GB (two 1 GB modules).
Your notebook supports dual-channel
memory. Dual-channel memory can have
a significant effect upon your system's
performance. In order to support dual-
channel memory, two DIMM modules
must be installed in your computer. The
two modules must be of the same capacity
and similar specifications.
Memory upgrades must be PC2-4200
DDR2-533 SO-DIMM modules. To ensure
100% compatibility, we recommend that
you purchase only Fujitsu recommended
memory modules.
Do not remove any screws
from the memory upgrade
module compartment,
except the ones specifically
shown in the directions for
installing and removing the

memory upgrade module.
