Memory Upgrade Module
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with a minimum
of 256 MB of high speed Double Data Rate Synchronous
Dynamic RAM (DDR2-533 SDRAM) factory installed. To
increase your 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
.
INSTALLING MEMORY UPGRADE MODULES
1. Turn off power to your notebook, remove any power
adapter (AC or auto/airline). Remove the battery.
2. Make sure that all the connector covers are closed.
3. Turn the notebook bottom side up, and remove the
screw from the memory upgrade module compart-
ment.
(Figure 4-9)
4. Remove the cover.

static guarded sleeve.
6. 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.
7. 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.

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] ->
Settings -> Control Panel, then double-clicking the
System icon. Select the General tab and check the
amount of memory under “Computer:”.
There may be a variation between the actual memory
size and what is displayed. This is due to the fact that
your system uses a video graphics chip which dynami-
cally allocates system memory to accelerate graphics
■ 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 damaged by electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD). Be sure you are properly
grounded when handling and installing
the module.
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.
