Memory Upgrade
Module
Your LifeBook has been configured with either 64MB or
128MB of high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM
(SDRAM) factory installed. To increase your LifeBook’s
memory capacity, you must replace the original memory
module with a higher capacity module. The memory
upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM) 100 MHz
SDRAM module.
INSTALLING A MEMORY UPGRADE
MODULE
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook using the power
switch, and remove any attached power adapter
(AC or auto/airline).
2. Make sure that all connector covers are closed.
3. Turn the LifeBook bottom side up, with the front
panel toward you.
4. Remove the screws of the memory upgrade module
compartment. (Figure 4-6)
5. Remove the cover.

compartment. The connector will be pointing
toward the rear of the LifeBook.
8. 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 4-7)

installed, you should leave it in place unless you want
to change system memory capacity.
