Memory Upgrade Module

Your notebook has been configured with 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB of high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) factory installed. If you have 256 MB or 512 MB of memory installed, you can increase your note- book’s memory capacity by replacing the original module with a higher capacity module. The memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM) 100 MHz SDRAM module. (To be certain the correct module is used, you should only use Fujitsu memory modules. To order, go to the Fujitsu Web site: http://us.fujitsu.com/computers).

REMOVING A MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE

1.Turn off power to your notebook and remove any attached power adapter (AC or auto/airline).

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

2.Make sure that all connector covers are closed.

3.Turn the notebook bottom side up, with the battery toward you.

4.Remove the memory upgrade compartment screw. (Figure 4-11)
