Memory Upgrade
Module
Your LifeBook notebook comes with 128MB or 256MB
high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM)
factory installed. To increase your LifeBook notebook’s
memory capacity, you may install an additional memory
upgrade module. You can also replace the original
memory module with a higher capacity module. The
memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM)
SDRAM module, however it can be any capacity up to
1024MB (total).
INSTALLING A MEMORY UPGRADE
MODULE
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook 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 notebook bottom side up, with
the front panel toward you.
4. Remove the screw at the front of the memory
upgrade module compartment. (Figure 4-7)
5. Remove the cover by tilting the front edge up
and then pulling forward until the tabs on the
cover are free.

6. Remove the memory upgrade module from the
static guarded sleeve.
7. 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. The connector will be pointing
toward the rear of the LifeBook notebook.
8. 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 4-8)

Do not remove any screws from the memory upgrade
module compartment, except the ones specifically

The memory upgrade module can be severely damaged
by electro-static discharge (ESD). Be sure you are
properly grounded when handling and installing the
module.

The memory upgrade module is not something you
should routinely remove from your notebook. Once it is
installed, you should leave it in place unless you want
to increase system memory capacity.
