Memory Upgrade Module

Your LifeBook notebook comes with 512 MB of on-board
high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM,
PC2700-type, DDR, 333 MHz) factory installed. To
increase your LifeBook notebook's memory capacity, you
may install an additional memory upgrade module. The
memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM)
SDRAM module. To ensure 100% compatibility,
purchase the SDRAM module only from the Fujitsu web
store at: www.shopfujitsu.com.
Fujitsu highly recommends that only
memory modules purchased from Fujitsu
or recommended by Fujitsu be installed.
The installation of incompatible memory
modules can cause numerous problems
which could result in loss of data.
INSTALLING A MEMORY UPGRADE
MODULE
To install a memory upgrade module follow these steps:
■ Turn off power and remove any tele-
phone line connections before perform-
ing the memory upgrade.
If the computer has been used recently,
■
it may be hot. Make sure the system has
cooled off completely before changing
memory.
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook and
remove any power adapter (AC or auto/airline) and
telephone line connections.
2. Place your LifeBook notebook on a clean work
surface.
3. Open the top cover all the way, so that it is lying
parallel with the work surface
4. Slide the access cover slightly to the left until it
becomes disengaged. Remove it from the system
(Figure 4-6)
The memory upgrade module can be
severely damaged by electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD). Be sure you are properly
grounded when handling and installing the
module, and follow ESD precautions noted
in the literature that accompanies the
memory module.
