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.
Your LifeBook notebook has two micro DIMM slots. 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 or add a
new module to an empty slot. The memory upgrade must
be a dual-in-line (micro DIMM) SDRAM module. To
ensure 100% compatibility, purchase the memory
module only from the Fujitsu web store at
us.fujitsu.com/computers
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 the two screws from the holes in the
memory compartment cover. (Figure 4-15)

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.
