Memory Upgrade Module
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with a minimum
of 512 MB of high speed Double Data Rate Synchronous
Dynamic RAM (DDR2-667 SDRAM) factory installed. To
increase your notebook’s memory capacity, you may
install 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 www.shopfujitsu.com.
INSTALLING MEMORY UPGRADE MODULES
1. Turn off power to your notebook, remove any power
adapter (AC or auto/airline). Remove the battery.
2. Make sure that all the connector covers are closed.
3. Turn the notebook bottom side up, and remove the
screw from the memory upgrade module compart-
ment. (Figure 4-8)
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.

■
Do not remove any screws from the
memory upgrade module compartment
except the one 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.
The memory upgrade module is not
something you routinely remove from
your notebook. Once it is installed, you
can leave it in place unless you want to
change system memory capacity.
