Memory Upgrade Module

Your notebook has two memory slots, and the system comes with 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB of factory-installed

memory. If you have a module installed in only one slot, you can increase your memory capacity by

installing another memory module in the empty slot or by increasing the size of the single installed

module. In order to optimize the dual-channel design, modules of equal capacity should be used. The

minimum amount of memory in your system is 1GB.

Your notebook supports dual-channel memory, which can have a significant effect upon your system’s

performance. In order to support dual-channel memory, two DIMM modules must be installed in your

computer.

•SYSTEMS WITH MICROSOFT WINDOWS VISTA INSTALLED REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 512 MB OF MEMORY, BUT 1
GB OR MORE IS RECOMMENDED.
•IF 4 GB OF MEMORY IS INSTALLED IN YOUR SYSTEM, ONLY 3.25 GB ARE USABLE, DUE TO OPERATING SYSTEM
CONSTRAINTS.
•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 DISCHARGE (ESD). TO
MINIMIZE RISK TO THE MODULE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
•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. DO NOT TO TOUCH ANY INTERNAL COMPUTER TERMINALS OR COMPONENTS; THE OIL
FROM YOUR FINGERS COULD CAUSE A SHORT TO THE COMPONENTS.
•POWER DOWN YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE YOU ADD OR REMOVE MEMORY MODULES. EVEN IF THE SYSTEM IS
IN HIBERNATE OR SLEEP STATES, DATA COULD BE LOST OR THE MEMORY COULD BE DAMAGED IF POWER
IS STILL AVAILABLE TO THE SYSTEM.
•THE INSTALLATION OF INCOMPATIBLE MEMORY MODULES CAN CAUSE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WHICH COULD
RESULT IN LOSS OF DATA. MEMORY UPGRADES MUST BE PC2-5300 DDR2-667 SO-DIMM MODULES. FUJITSU
HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU ONLY PURCHASE ADDITIONAL MEMORY FROM THE FUJITSU ON-LINE
ACCESSORY STORE AT: US.FUJITSU.COM/COMPUTERS.
