MEMORY UPGRADE
MODULE
Your LifeBook notebook comes with on-board
high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM
(SDRAM, PC2-4300-type, DDR, 400 MHz)
factory installed (the amount of on-board memory
depends upon the configuration of your system).
To increase your LifeBook notebook’s memory
capacity, you may install a larger and/or additional
memory upgrade module, with a maximum of 2
GB. The memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line
(DIMM) SDRAM module. To ensure 100%
compatibility, purchase the SDRAM module only
from Fujitsu.
Fujitsu highly recommends that only memory
modules purchased from Fujitsu or
recommended by Fujitsu be installed. The
installation of incompatible memory modules
can cause numerous problems which could
result in loss of data.
Installing a Memory Module
To install a memory upgrade module follow these
steps:
Turn off power and remove any telephone
line connections before performing the
memory upgrade.
If the computer has been used recently,
it may be hot. Make sure the system has
cooled off completely before changing
memory.
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook and
remove any power adapter.
2. Turn the notebook bottom side up, and
remove the screws of the memory upgrade
module compartment.

3. Remove the cover.
4. Remove the new memory upgrade module
from the static guarded sleeve.
5. Align the memory upgrade module with the
component side up. Align the connector edge
of the memory upgrade module with the
connector slot in the compartment.
6. 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 properly in place.
