Removing and installing components during servicing

Memory upgrades

Your notebook is equipped with 256 MB – 2 GB or 4 GB of main memory, depending on the upgrade
level. The notebook will not start without memory modules, as no fixed main memory is installed.

Installing and removing the memory upgrade

If you are asked by the Hotline/Help Desk to remove and install the memory upgrade yourself,
proceed as follows:
Please observe the safety information in the "Important notes" chapter.
!
The notebook must be switched off when installing/removing the memory modules, it
must not be in Suspend mode.
Only use memory upgrades which are approved for your notebook. 256, 512 MB, 1 GB
and 2 GB modules DDR2-533 SO DIMM (PC2-4200) or 256, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB
modules DDR2-667 SO DIMM (PC2-5300).
Never use force when installing or removing memory modules.
Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory upgrade compartment.
A memory module is located underneath the service compartment. You must open the service
compartment when removing and installing a memory module. Once you have removed the cover,
the various components are exposed. These components should be removed and replaced only by
authorised specialists. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:
Individual components (e.g. the processor heat sink) can become very hot during
!
operation. Therefore, we recommend that you wait one hour after switching off the
notebook before removing or installing the memory modules. Otherwise, there is a danger
of being burned!
As some components with ESDs are exposed, please observe the section "Notes on
installing and removing boards and components" in the chapter "Notes on installing and
removing boards and components".
The second memory module is not accessible from the outside and must therefore only be removed
or replaced by an authorised Fujitsu Siemens Computers service partner.
