Your Fujitsu LifeBook comes with 64MB of high speed
Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) factory installed.
To increase your LifeBook’s memory capacity, you may
install an additional memory upgrade module. The
memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM)
SDRAM module.

To install a memory upgrade module follow these steps:
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook using the power
switch, and remove any power adapter (AC or
auto/airline).
2. Turn your LifeBook face down on a clean work
surface.
3. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screw
securing the RAM Expansion cover. Remove the
cover.
