Memory Upgrade
Module
Your LifeBook notebook can be upgraded to include up
to 1 GB of in-slot high speed Double Data Rate (DDR)
Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM). To increase
your LifeBook notebook's memory capacity, you may
install a larger memory upgrade module.
If you have less than 1 GB pre-installed, and you would
like to increase it, you will need to remove the installed
module and replace it with the larger 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.
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.

ACCESSING THE MEMORY COMPARTMENT

To gain access to the memory compartment, follow these
steps:
You must turn off power and remove any
modem connection before installing the

memory upgrade module.

1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook, and
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. Remove battery by using a Phillips screwdriver to
remove the three screws from the holes in the battery
compartment. (Figure 4-5)

4. Turn the system over and open the top cover all the
way, so that it is lying flat on the work surface.
5. Pry the narrow spacer panel in back of the keyboard
away from the system. There is a small gap directly
behind the F9 key with which you can lift the panel
(press the F9 key to access the gap). (Figure 4-6)

6. Slide the keyboard backward slightly until it disen-
gages and can be lifted freely. (Figure 4-7)

Be very careful when pivoting the key-
board below. The keyboard is connected
with fragile flat cables.
7. Carefully pull the disengaged keyboard towards the
front of the system until it is lying on the display,
exposing the memory compartment.

There is already a memory module pre-
installed when you receive your system. In
order to increase the memory, you must
first remove the old memory chip.
