User Installable Features INSTALLING A MEMORY MODULE 1. Align the connector edge of the memory upgrade module, chip side up, with the connector slot in the compartment. (Figure 4-11) Module Clips There may be a variation between the actual memory size and what is displayed. This is due to the fact that your system uses a video graphics chip which dynamically allocates system memory to accelerate graphics performance. Up to 224 MB of memory is dynamically shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). If the total memory displayed is incorrect, check that your memory upgrade module is properly installed. (If the module is properly installed and the capacity is still not correctly recognized, see Troubleshooting on page 71. Figure 4-11. Aligning the memory module Figure 4-12. Reinstalling the memory cover 2 . Insert the memory upgrade module at a 45o angle and press it firmly onto the connector. (Figure 4-11) 3. Press the memory upgrade module down into the compartment until it locks underneath the retaining clip. You will hear a click when it is properly in place. 4. Replace the memory compartment cover. (Figure 412) The memory upgrade module is not something you routinely remove from your LifeBook notebook. Once it is installed, you should leave it in place unless you want to increase system memory capacity. CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY Once you have changed the system memory capacity by replacing the installed module with a larger one, be sure to check that your notebook has recognized the change. Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Settings -> Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under "Computer:". 47
