Memory Upgrade
Module
Your LifeBook notebook can be upgraded to include up
to 1 GB of in-slot high speed Double Data Rate (DDR2)
Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM). To increase
your LifeBook notebook’s memory capacity, you may
install a larger memory upgrade module.
Your LifeBook notebook has two micro DIMM slots. One
of them is accessible via the memory compartment on the
bottom of the system; the other is located under the
keyboard and should not be accessed. If you have less than
1GB pre-installed, and you would like to increase it, you
will need add a new module to the empty slot. The
memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (micro DIMM)
SDRAM module. To ensure 100% compatibility,
purchase the memory module only from the Fujitsu web
store at
us.fujitsu.com/computers
.
ACCESSING THE MEMORY COMPARTMENT
To gain access to the memory compartment, follow these
steps
:
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook, and
remove any power adapter (AC or auto/airline),
battery pack, and modem connection.
2. Place your LifeBook notebook with the bottom
facing up on a clean work surface.
3. Remove the two screws from the holes in the
memory compartment cover. (Figure 4-11)

REMOVING A MEMORY MODULE

Compartment.
2. Pull the module clips sideways away from each side
of the memory module simultaneously. (Figure 4-

3. While holding the clips out, remove the module
from the slot by lifting it up and pulling towards the
back of your LifeBook notebook.
4. Store the memory upgrade module in a static
guarded sleeve.
5. Install a new memory module as detailed in the
procedure below.
6. Replace the memory compartment cover.
The memory upgrade module can be
severely damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Be sure you are properly
grounded when handling and installing the
module.
You must turn off power and remove any
modem connection before installing the
memory upgrade module.
The memory module which came with
your system is installed under the
keyboard, and should not be replaced. To
increase the amount of memory, either
install a new module in the DIMM slot, or
remove a smaller module from the DIMM
slot and replace with a larger one.
