Memory Upgrade

Module

Your Fujitsu LifeBook P1600 Series notebook comes with a minimum of 512 MB of high speed Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic RAM 2 (DDR2 SDRAM), 533 MHz factory installed. To increase your system’s memory capacity, you may install a 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.

The system contains components that can be severely damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). To minimize risk to the components, observe the following precautions:

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

■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 components.

Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operations of this product or similar products, must always be supervised by an adult. Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical products and do not permit them to handle any cables.

Do not remove any screws from the memory upgrade module compartment except those specifically shown in the directions for installing and removing the module.
