LifeBook E series FAQs - Hardware
Q1 I am reinstalling Windows 98/ ME on my LifeBook E-6595 and I have an unknown device listed?
A1 The ACPI device in some of the LifeBook E-6595 series is not automatically found. If you have installed all devices such as Modem, Audio and Video Controller, it is probably the ACPI device that is the unknown device listed. The ACPI device driver is available in the Drivers and Utilities CD supplied.

Q2 Is the RAM upgrade still available for the LifeBook E-6530? What is the maximum RAM capacity that I can upgrade to and how much does it cost to upgrade? How long will the RAM be available?
A2 The RAM upgrade for your E-6530 is still available. Currently your laptop's memory is 64MB. It can be upgraded up to a maximum 512MB. Since your E-6530 has two slots, you may purchase 2 pieces of 256MB RAM to upgrade to the maximum capacity. Please check with the service centre for details on RAM purchase.

Q3 Is the CD/R/RW drive supported by the portable bay in LifeBook E-6530? Could I get a copy of the drivers?
A3 Unfortunately for E6530, the device bay does not support the CD-R/RW drive option. The bay only supports a 2nd battery based on your machine's specification.

Q4 Would a DVD-RAM or DVD+RW Drive be available for the Fujitsu E series LifeBook, in particular the E-6530? If yes, when will they be available?
A4 DVD ROM is offered as a standard drive in the E-6530 model. Unfortunately, the DVD-RAM or DVD+RW Drive options for the E-6530 model is not offered.

Q5 Which specific hardware in my LifeBook E-6530 cannot be supported by Windows XP? Also, why is Windows XP not compatible with the ACPI?
A5 Most of the drivers can be supported by Windows XP except ACPI, but this driver can be downloaded from our website. This model is supported by Windows XP.

Q6 After upgrading the memory on My LifeBook E-6626 to 512MB (2 X 256MB), the notebook has became unstable. Do I need to set-up anything or upgrade the BIOS?
A6 The memory upgrade will not cause any problem. However, the RAM chip must be compatible with the built-in or existing RAM chip. If you buy the RAM chip from a Fujitsu dealer, please ensure that it is PC-133 compliant. Furthermore, try to recall if you have installed any new program or device recently, as this could also be the cause.
