- Memory Upgrade Module
Memory Upgrade Module
Your notebook has two memory slots. If you have a module installed in only one slot, you can increase your memory
capacity by installing another memory module in the empty slot or by increasing the size of the single installed
module. In order to optimize the dual-channel design, modules of equal capacity should be used.
Your notebook supports dual-channel memory, which can have a great effect upon system performance. In order to
support dual-channel memory, two DIMM modules must be installed in your computer.
Installing a Memory Module
1 Turn off power to your LIFEBOOK notebook and remove any power adapter.
2 Make sure that all connector covers are closed.
3 Turn the LIFEBOOK notebook bottom side up, with the front panel toward you.
4 Remove the memory upgrade module compartment by pressing the latch and lifting the cover. (Figure 37)
5 Remove the memory upgrade module from the static guarded sleeve.
• DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS FROM THE MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE COMPARTMENT EXCEPT THOSE SPECIFICALLY SHOWN IN THE DIRECTIONS FOR
INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE UPGRADE MODULE.
• THE MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE CAN BE SEVERELY DAMAGED BY ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD). TO MINIMIZE RISK TO THE MODULE, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
• 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. DO NOT TOUCH
ANY INTERNAL COMPUTER TERMINALS OR COMPONENTS; THE OIL FROM YOUR FINGERS COULD CAUSE A SHORT TO THE COMPONENTS.
• POWER DOWN YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE YOU ADD OR REMOVE MEMORY MODULES. EVEN IF THE SYSTEM IS IN HIBERNATE OR SLEEP STATES,
DATA COULD BE LOST OR THE MEMORY COULD BE DAMAGED IF POWER IS STILL AVAILABLE TO THE SYSTEM.
• THE INSTALLATION OF INCOMPATIBLE MEMORY MODULES CAN CAUSE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF DATA. FUJITSU
HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU ONLY PURCHASE ADDITIONAL MEMORY FROM THE FUJITSU ON-LINE ACCESSORY STORE AT:
