Memory Upgrade Module
Your LifeBook notebook comes with 256 MB of on-board
high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM,
PC2100-type, DDR, 266 MHz) factory installed. To
increase your LifeBook 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: http://us.fujitsu.com/computers.

3. Open the top cover all the way, so that it is lying flat

it may be hot. Make sure the system has
cooled off completely before changing

severely damaged by electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD). Be sure you are properly
grounded when handling and installing the
module, and follow ESD precautions noted
in the literature that accompanies the
