Memory Upgrade
Module

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with 128MB or 
256MB high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM 
(SDRAM) factory installed. To increase your notebook’s 
memory capacity, you can replace the original memory 
module with a higher capacity module. The memory 
upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM) SDRAM 
module, and it can be up to 256MB capacity. 

INSTALLING A MEMORY UPGRADE 
MODULE

1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook using the 

power switch, and remove any power adapter
(AC or auto/airline).

2. Make sure that all the connector covers are closed.

3. Turn the notebook bottom side up, with the front 

panel toward you.

4. Remove the screws of the memory upgrade module 

compartment. (Figure 4-9) 

5. Remove the cover.

Figure 4-9 Opening the Memory Upgrade Compartment

 6. Remove the memory upgrade module from the 

static guarded sleeve.

7. Align the memory upgrade module with the part 

side up. Align the connector edge of the memory 
upgrade module with the connector slot in the 
compartment. The connector will be pointing 
toward the rear of the notebook. 

8. Insert the memory upgrade module at a 45° angle. 

Press the connector edge of the module firmly down 
and into the connector until it lodges under the 
retaining clip. You will hear a click when it is prop-
erly in place. (Figure 4-10)

Figure 4-10 Installing a Memory Upgrade Module

9. Replace the cover.

10. Replace the screws.

TO REMOVE 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 

from the slot by lifting it up and pulling towards the 
rear of your notebook. (Figure 4-11)

Figure 4-11 Removing a Memory Upgrade Module

4. Store the memory upgrade module in a static 

guarded sleeve.

5. Replace the cover.

6. Replace the screws.

C A U T I O N S

Do not remove any screws from the memory upgrade 
module compartment except the ones specifically 
shown in the directions for installing and removing 
the memory upgrade module.

The memory upgrade module can be severely dam-
aged by electro-static discharge (ESD). Be sure you 
are properly grounded when handling and installing 
the module.

P O I N T

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