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.

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)

Depending on the configuration, it can be equipped with Intel Pentium 4 or Intel Celeron processors, providing a solid balance of speed and efficiency for everyday tasks such as word processing, spreadsheets, and basic multimedia applications.

One of the standout features of the A6020 is its flexible expandability. With multiple expansion slots, users can easily upgrade their system to enhance performance, whether by adding more RAM or incorporating additional storage solutions. The machine typically supports up to 2GB of DDR memory, which was a considerable amount at the time, allowing users to run multiple applications simultaneously with ease.

In terms of storage, the A6020 comes with a variety of hard drive options, usually ranging from 40GB to 120GB. This ample capacity makes it suitable for users who need to store documents, presentations, and media files without immediate concern for running out of space. Moreover, the inclusion of optical drives gives users the capability to read and write CDs, a valuable function during an era where physical media was still prevalent.

Networking capabilities are also a key feature of the A6020. Equipped with Ethernet ports and optional wireless capabilities, it allowed users to easily connect to local networks and the internet, facilitating communication and data sharing in an increasingly digital workspace.

The design of the A6020 prioritizes user-friendliness, featuring a simple yet effective layout that allows for easy access to components and ports. The compact form factor ensures that it fits comfortably in various workspace environments, promoting efficient use of space.

Overall, the Fujitsu Siemens Computers A6020 represents a thoughtful combination of performance, expandability, and usability, making it a suitable choice for individuals and small businesses looking for a reliable desktop solution during its time in the early 2000s.
