Memory Upgrade Module

Your LifeBook notebook comes with on-board high speed
Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM, PC2-4300-type,
DDR, 400 MHz) factory installed (the amount of on-
board memory depends upon the configuration of your
system). To increase your LifeBook notebook’s memory
capacity, you may install a larger and/or additional
memory upgrade module, with a maximum of 2 GB. 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: http://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com.

INSTALLING A MEMORY 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. Turn the notebook bottom side up, and remove the

screws of the memory upgrade module compart-
ment.

(Figure 4-6)

3. Remove the cover.

component side up. Align the connector edge of the
memory upgrade module with the connector slot in
the compartment.

7. 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.

Fujitsu

highly recommends

that only

memory modules purchased from Fujitsu
or recommended by Fujitsu be installed.
The installation of incompatible memory
modules can cause numerous problems
which could result in loss of data.

■

Turn off power and remove any tele-
phone line connections before perform-
ing the memory upgrade.

■

If the computer has been used recently,
it may be hot. Make sure the system has
cooled off completely before changing
memory.

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

After changing your memory module con-
figuration, you must complete the Reset-
ting the Hibernation (Save-to-Disk)
Parameters procedure in order for the
Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode to oper-
ate properly on your LifeBook notebook.

(See Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) Feature
on page 31 for more information)
