Installing a memory module
Your computer has two memory module slots. One slot is
under the keyboard and should only be accessed by a Toshiba
authorized service provider. The other memory module slot is
accessible on the bottom of your computer, and memory
capacity can be upgraded by removing and replacing the
memory module in that slot. You will need a standard Phillips
No. 1 screwdriver for this procedure.
If the computer is on, begin at step 1; otherwise, skip to step
3.
1
If the computer is on, click Start, Shut Down.
The Shut Down window appears.
2
Click Shut down.
The operating system turns off the computer.
3
Unplug and remove any cables connected to the
computer, including the AC adapter.
Connecting Other External Devices
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 standard
Phillips No. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition.
Installing a memory module with the computer's power on may
damage the computer, the module, or both.
Before you install or remove a memory module, turn off the
computer using the Start menu. If you install or remove a
memory module while the computer is in Standby or
Hibernation mode, data will be lost.
