Memory Upgrade
Module
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with either
128MB or 256MB of high speed Synchronous Dynamic
RAM (SDRAM), 133MHz factory installed. To increase
your LifeBook 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.fujitsupc.com.
INSTALLING A MEMORY UPGRADE
MODULE
To install a memory upgrade module follow these steps:
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook and
remove any power adapter (AC or auto/airline).
2. Place your LifeBook notebook upside-down on a
clean work surface.
3. Open the top cover all the way, so that it is lying flat
on the work surface.
4. Remove the screw holding the memory
compartment cover (Figure 4-7)
