Memory Upgrade Module

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with high speed Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic RAM (DDR2- 667 SDRAM) factory installed. The maximum memory capacity is 4 GB (2 GB x 2), but 3.25 GB is the maximum amount that is usable by the operating system. To increase your notebook’s memory capacity, you may install an additional memory upgrade module. 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 www.shopfujitsu.com.

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 dis- charge (ESD). To minimize the risk, observe the following precautions:

Before handling a memory module, touch a grounded metal object to discharge static electricity built up in your body.

When installing or removing a memory module, hold it by the edge so as not to touch any contacts or chips. Be careful not to touch any internal computer terminals or components; the oil from your fingers could cause a short to the compo- nents.

Be sure to power down your system before adding or removing memory modules. Even if the system is in hibernate or standby states, data could be lost or the memory could be damaged if power is still available to the system.

6.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 4-10)

7. Replace the cover and reinstall the screw.

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

INSTALLING MEMORY UPGRADE MODULES

1.Turn off power to your notebook, remove any power adapter (AC or auto/airline). Remove the battery.

2.Turn the notebook bottom side up, and remove the screw from the memory upgrade module compart- ment. (Figure 4-9)

3.Remove the cover.

4.Remove the memory upgrade module from the static guarded sleeve.

5.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.

REMOVING A MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE

1.Perform steps 1 through 4 of Installing a Memory Upgrade Module.

2.Pull the clips sideways away from each side of the memory upgrade module at the same time.

3.While holding the clips out, remove the module from the slot by lifting it up and pulling towards the side of your notebook. (Figure 4-11)
