Memory Upgrade
Module

Your LifeBook notebook comes with 128MB or 256MB of
memory factory installed. To increase your LifeBook
notebook’s memory capacity, you may install an addi-
tional memory upgrade module. You can also replace the
original memory module with a higher capacity module.
The memory upgrade must be a PC2100 DDR266 SO-
DIMM module, but it can be any capacity up to 1024MB
(total). To ensure 100% compatibility, we recommend
that you only purchase additional memory from the
Fujitsu on-line accessory store at:
www.fujitsupc.com/accessories.

INSTALLING A MEMORY UPGRADE
MODULE

1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook using the

power/suspend/resume button, and remove any
power adapter
(AC or auto/airline).

2. Make sure that all the connector covers are closed.

3. Turn the LifeBook notebook bottom side up, with

the front panel toward you.

4. Remove the screw at the front of the memory

upgrade module compartment. (Figure 4-8)

5. Remove the cover by tilting the front edge up

and then pulling forward until the tabs on the
cover are free.

6. Remove the memory upgrade module from the

static guarded sleeve.

7. 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. The connector will be pointing
toward the rear of the LifeBook notebook.

8. 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. (Figure 4-9)

REMOVING A MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE

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

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.

P O I N T

If you use only one memory module in your system, be
sure it is installed in Slot 2. Slot 2 is the slot that is
further away from the edge of the system.

The memory upgrade module can be severely damaged
by electro-static discharge (ESD). Be sure you are
properly grounded when handling and installing the
module.

P O I N T

The memory upgrade module is not something you
should routinely remove from your notebook. Once it is
installed, you should leave it in place unless you want
to increase system memory capacity.
