Memory Upgrade Module
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with a minimum
of 512 MB of high speed Double Data Rate Synchronous
Dynamic RAM (DDR 667 SD-RAM) factory installed. To
increase your LifeBook notebook’s memory capacity (up
to a maximum of 2 GB), you may install a larger and/or
an additional memory upgrade module. 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 MEMORY UPGRADE MODULES
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook and
remove any power adapter (AC or auto/airline).
2. Make sure that all the connector covers are closed.
3. Turn the notebook bottom side up, and remove the
screws of the memory upgrade module compart-
ment. (Figure 4-12)
4. Remove the cover.

5. Remove the memory upgrade module from the
static guarded sleeve.
6. Align the memory upgrade module with the part
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. (Figure 4-13)

■ Do not remove any screws from the
memory upgrade module compartment
except the ones specifically shown in the
directions for installing and removing the
memory upgrade module.
■ The memory upgrade module can be
severely damaged by electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD). To minimize the risk,
observe the following precautions:
■ Before handling a memory module,
touch a grounded metal object to dis-
charge static electricity built up in
your body.
■ When installing or removing a mem-
ory module, hold it by the edge so as
not to touch any contacts or chips. Be
careful not to touch any internal com-
puter terminals or components; the oil
from your fingers could cause a short
to the components.
■ Be sure to power down your system
before adding or removing memory
modules. Even if the system is in hiber-
nate or standby states, data could be
lost or the memory could be damaged if
power is still available to the system.
