The memory upgrade module is not
something you should routinely remove
from your notebook. Once it is installed,
you should leave it in place unless you
want to increase system memory capacity.

REMOVING A MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE

1. Perform steps 1 through 5 of Installing a Memory
Upgrade Module.
2. Pull the clips sideways away from each side of the
memory upgrade module at the same time.
3. While holding the clips out, remove the module

Installing a Memory Upgrade Module.
After installing your added memory
module, you must complete the Resetting
the Save-to-Disk Parameters procedure in
order for the Save-to-Disk mode to
operate properly on your LifeBook
(See Hibernation (Save-to-
notebook.
Disk) Feature on page 31 for more
information)

CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY

Once you have changed the system memory capacity by
replacing the installed module with a larger one, be sure
to check that your notebook has recognized the change.
Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] ->
Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> System.
The amount of memory is displayed next to "Memory -
RAM:"
The amount of memory displayed should be approxi-
mately the total of all memory modules installed. There
may be a discrepancy which is allocated for fixed video
memory.

If the total memory displayed is incorrect,
check that your memory upgrade module
is properly installed. (If the module is
properly installed and the capacity is still
not correctly recognized, see
Troubleshooting on page 53.

ENABLING/DISABLING TURBO MEMORY

Turbo Memory is an optional module that is used to act
as a cache for frequently-accessed applications and
information. If you have Turbo Memory installed in
your system, it can be enabled or disabled as follows:
NVCache Partition: Please note that the
NVCache partition on your hard disk drive
is dedicated to the Turbo Memory module.
If you see the NVCache partition, DO
NOT copy any data to it or use this
partition directly. Doing so could result in
data loss or corruption, for which Fujitsu is
not responsible.
