Memory Upgrade Module
Your Fujitsu LifeBook P1600 Series notebook comes with a minimum of 512 MB of high speed Double Data
Rate Synchronous Dynamic RAM 2 (DDR2 SDRAM), 533 MHz factory installed. To increase your
system’s memory capacity, you may install a 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 www.shopfujitsu.com.
Removing Memory 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 system bottom side up, and remove the screws of the memory upgrade module compartment.
(Figure 26).
4 Remove the cover.
5 Pull the clips sideways away from each side of the memory upgrade module at the same time. (Figure 26)
6 While holding the clips out, remove the module from the slot by lifting it up and pulling towards the rear of your
notebook.

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 HIBERNATE OR STANDBY STATES, DATA COULD BE LOST OR THE MEMORY COULD BE DAMAGED
IF POWER IS STILL AVAILABLE TO THE SYSTEM.
