Memory Upgrade
Module
Your Fujitsu LifeBook comes with 128MB or 256MB high
speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) factory
installed. To increase your LifeBook’s memory capacity,
you can replace the original memory module with a
higher capacity module. The memory upgrade must be a
dual-in-line (DIMM) SDRAM module, and it can be up
to 256MB capacity.
INSTALLING A MEMORY UPGRADE
MODULE
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook using the power
switch, and remove any power adapter
(AC or auto/airline).
2. Make sure that all the connector covers are closed.
3. Turn the LifeBook bottom side up, with the front
panel toward you.
4. Remove the screws of the memory upgrade module
compartment. (Figure 4-9)
