Adding optional external devices

Adding optional external devices
Before adding external devices or memory, Toshiba recommends
setting up your software. See “Setting up your software” on page46.
After starting your computer for the first time you may want to:
❖Add more memory (see “Adding memory (optional)” on
page 53)
❖Connect a mouse (see “Using a mouse” on page 73)
❖Connect a full-size keyboard (see “Using an external
keyboard” on page 73)
❖Connect an external monitor (see “Using external display
devices” on page 71)
❖Connect a local printer (see “Connecting a printer” on page 73)
❖Connect an optional external disk drive (see “Connecting an
optional external diskette drive” on page 74)
❖Install an ExpressCard® (see “Using an ExpressCard®” on
page 132)
Connecting to a power source
Your computer requires power to operate. Use the power cord/cable
and AC adaptor to connect the computer to a live electrical outlet,
or to charge the computer’s battery.
Never pull on a power cord/cable to remove a plug from a socket. Always
grasp the plug directly. Failure to follow this instruction may damage the
cord/cable, and/or result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in
serious injury.
Always confirm that the power plug (and extension cable plug if used) has
been fully inserted into the socket, to ensure a secure electrical connection.
Failure to do so may result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in
serious injury.
Be careful if you use a multiple connector. An overload on one socket
could cause a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious
injury.
