Memory Upgrade Module
Your LIFEBOOK notebook can be upgraded to include up to 16 GB of in-slot high speed Double Data Rate (DDR3)
Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM). To increase your notebook’s memory capacity, you may install a larger memory
upgrade module.
Your LIFEBOOK notebook has two DIMM slots. The DIMM slots are located on different parts of the motherboard, and
only one can be accessed for upgrade.If you would like to increase the installed memory, you will need add a new
module to the empty slot. The memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM) SDRAM module. To ensure 100%
compatibility, purchase the memory module only from the Fujitsu web store at
us.fujitsu.com/computers
.
