Memory Upgrade
Module

Your Fujitsu LifeBook comes with 64MB or 128MB 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.

INSTALLING A MEMORY UPGRADE
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 three

screws securing the RAM Expansion cover. Remove

the cover.

4. Align the connector edge of the memory upgrade

module, chip side up, with the connector slot in the
compartment.

5. Insert the memory upgrade module at a 45

o

angle

and press it firmly onto the connector.

6. Press the memory upgrade module down into the

compartment until it locks underneath the retaining
clip. You will hear a click when it is properly in place.

7. Replace the cover over the memory tray and reinstall

the three screws.
