Memory Upgrade Module
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with a minimum
of 256 MB of high speed Double Data Rate Synchronous
Dynamic RAM (dual-channel DDR2 667 SDRAM)
factory installed. To increase your LifeBook notebook’s
memory capacity, you may install an additional memory
upgrade module. The memory upgrade must be a DDR2
667 MHz SO-DIMM module. To ensure 100% compati-
bility, purchase the SDRAM module only from the
Fujitsu web store at www.shopfujitsu.com
.
INSTALLING MEMORY UPGRADE MODULES
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook, remove
any power adapter (AC or auto/airline), and remove
the battery pack.
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 4-10)
4. Remove the cover.

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

■
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 risk to the
module, observe the following precau-
tions:
■
Before handling a memory module,
touch a grounded metal object to
discharge static electricity built up in
your body.
■
When installing or removing a
memory module, hold it by the edge
so as not to touch any contacts or
chips. Be careful not to touch any
internal computer 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
hibernate or standby states, data
could be lost or the memory could be
damaged if power is still available to
the system.
