73 - Memory Upgrade Module
Memory Upgrade Module
Your notebook has been configured with a minimum of 512 MB of high speed DDR2 533 MHz RAM
factory installed. In addition to the installed memory, there is a second DIMM slot in which you can install
a second module. You can also increase your notebook’s memory capacity by replacing the original
module with a higher capacity module (2 GB maximum). The memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line 533
MHz DDR2 module. (To be certain the correct module is used, you should only use Fujitsu memory
modules. To order, go to the Fujitsu accessories website: www.shopfujitsu.com).
Installing a Memory Upgrade Module
1 Turn off power to your notebook and remove any attached power adapter (AC or auto/airline).
2 Make sure that all connector covers are closed.
3 Turn the notebook bottom side up.
4 Remove the memory upgrade compartment screws, then remove the cover. (Figure 27)
5 Align the new memory upgrade module with the part side up. Align the connector edge of the memory upgrade
module with the empty connector slot in the compartment.
