Memory Upgrade
Module
Your LifeBook notebook has two memory slots, and the
system comes with 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB of factory-
installed memory. If you have a module installed in only
one slot, you can increase your LifeBook notebook’s
memory capacity by installing another memory upgrade
module in the empty slot or by increasing the size of the
single installed module. The minimum amount of
memory in your system is 256 MB; the maximum
amount is 2 GB (two 1 GB modules).
The memory upgrade must be PC2100 DDR333 SO-
DIMM module. To ensure 100% compatibility, we
recommend that you only purchase additional memory
from the Fujitsu on-line accessory store at:
www.us.fujitsu.com/computers.
INSTALLING A MEMORY MODULE
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook using the
power/suspend/resume button, and remove any
power adapter.
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 4-9)
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.

9. Replace the cover by hooking the tabs under the rear
edge of the compartment opening and tilting down
until flush with the bottom of your LifeBook note-
book.
10. Replace the screw.
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
discharge (ESD). Be sure you are properly
grounded when handling and installing the
module.
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.
(Figure 4-9)
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.
