Memory Upgrade Module
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with a minimum of 2GB (either a single 2 GB module or two 1 GB
modules) of high speed Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic RAM (DDR3-1066 SDRAM) factory
installed. 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. Note: Before you purchase
additional module(s), be sure to check first to see whether you have one or two modules pre-installed. To
ensure 100% compatibility, purchase the SDRAM module only from the Fujitsu web store at
www.shopfujitsu.com
.
