Memory Upgrade

Module

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with 256MB of on-board high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM, PC2100-type, DDR, 200MHz) factory installed. To increase your LifeBook 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% compati- bility, purchase the SDRAM module only from the Fujitsu web store at: www.fujitsupc.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.

INSTALLING A MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE

To install a memory upgrade module follow these steps:

W A R N I N G S

■Turn off power and remove any telephone line connections before performing 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.

1.Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook using the power switch, and remove any power adapter (AC or auto/airline) and telephone line connections.

2.Place your LifeBook notebook on a clean work surface.

3.Open the top cover all the way, so that it is lying flat on the work surface.

4.Using your fingernail or a small flat head screw- driver, gently pry open the screw cover located over the keyboard screw. (Figure 4-8)
