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.

NOTE	Before adding external devices or memory, Toshiba
	recommends setting up your software. See “Setting up your
	software” on page 45.

Installing a memory module

Additional memory modules can be installed in the memory module slots on the base of the computer. You will need a standard small Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.

If you use the computer for a long time, the memory module will become hot. If this happens, let the module cool to room temperature before you replace it.

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.
