Getting Started
Installing additional memory (optional)
5.375 x 8.375 ver 3.1
Your computer comes with enough memory to run most of
today’s popular applications. You may want to increase the
computer’s memory if you use complex software or process
large amounts of data.
Additional memory comes in various capacities (visit
Toshiba’s Web site at toshiba.com for more information). There
are two memory slots. Your system may have both slots
occupied.
If you use the computer for a long time, the memory modules
will become hot. If this happens, let the modules cool to room
temperature before you replace them.
Do not try to install a memory module under the following
conditions. You can damage the computer and the module.
1. The computer is turned on.
2. The computer was shut down using Standby mode.
3. Power to the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive has been
turned on.
You need a standard Phillips no. 1 screwdriver to install a
memory module.
To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a standard
Phillips no. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition.
If you are adding memory after you have started to use the
computer, begin at step 1, otherwise skip to step 2.
