Adding memory (optional)
HINT: To purchase additional memory modules, see the
accessories information packaged with your system or
visit accessories.toshiba.com.
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.
Before adding external devices or memory, Toshiba
recommends setting up your software. See “Setting up
your software” on page 44.
Installing a memory module
Memory modules can be installed in the memory module
slots on the underside of the computer. You will need a small
Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.
If the computer has been running recently, the memory
module(s) may be hot. The surrounding area may also be
hot. Allow the module(s) to cool to room temperature
before replacing it. Avoid touching the cover, the
module(s), and the surrounding area before they have
cooled. Failure to follow these directions could result in
minor bodily injury.
To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a small
Phillips screwdriver that is in good condition.
Installing a memory module with the computer’s power
on may damage the computer, the module, or both.
The computer has two memory slots—Slot A and Slot B. You
can install one or two memory modules.
