Memory Upgrade Module

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with high speed
Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic RAM (DDR2-
667 SDRAM) factory installed. The maximum memory
capacity is 4 GB (2 GB x 2), but 3.25 GB is the maximum
amount that is usable by the operating system. 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. Turn the notebook bottom side up, and remove the

screw from the memory upgrade module compart-
ment.

(Figure 4-9)

3. Remove the cover.

4. Remove the memory upgrade module from the

static guarded sleeve.

5. 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.

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 prop-
erly in place.

REMOVING A MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE

1. Perform steps 1 through 4 of Installing a Memory

Upgrade Module.

2. Pull the clips sideways away from each side of the

memory upgrade module at the same time.

3. While holding the clips out, remove the module

from the slot by lifting it up and pulling towards the
side of your notebook.

■

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 the risk,
observe the following precautions:

■

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 compo-
nents.

■

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.
