Memory Upgrade Module
Your LifeBook notebook comes with on-board high speed
Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM, PC2-5300,
DDR2, 667 MHz) factory installed (the amount of on-
board memory depends upon the configuration of your
system). To increase your LifeBook notebook’s memory
capacity, you may install a larger and/or additional
memory upgrade module, with a maximum of 2 GB. 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://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com.
INSTALLING A MEMORY MODULE
To install a memory upgrade module follow these steps:
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook and
remove any power adapter (AC or auto/airline).
2. Turn the notebook bottom side up, and remove the
screws of the memory upgrade module compart-
ment.
(Figure 4-6)
3. Remove the cover.

5. Remove the new memory upgrade module from the
static guarded sleeve.
6. Align the memory upgrade module with the
component 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.

REMOVING A MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE
1. Perform steps 1 through 4 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.
4. Store the memory upgrade module in a static
guarded sleeve.
5. Replace the cover.
Fujitsu highly recommends that only
memory modules purchased from Fujitsu
or recommended by Fujitsu be installed.
The installation of incompatible memory
modules can cause numerous problems
which could result in loss of data.
■ Turn off power and remove any tele-
phone line connections before perform-
ing the memory upgrade.
■ If the computer has been used recently,
it may be hot. Make sure the system has
cooled off completely before changing
memory.
If you have only one memory module
installed in your system, it must be
installed in slot 1.
Slot 1 is the slot closest
to the edge of the system. Installing a
memory module only in slot 2 could result
in data loss.
The memory upgrade module is not
something you routinely remove from
your notebook. Once it is installed, you
should leave it in place unless you want to
change system memory capacity.
