Adding memory (optional)
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.
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
small Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.
The computer has two memory slots—Slot A and Slot B. You
can install one or two memory modules.
If the computer is on, begin at step 1; otherwise, skip to step 3.
1 Click Start, and then Turn off computer or Shut Down
(depending on the system).
The Turn off computer or Shut Down window appears.
2 Click Turn Off or Shut Down.
The operating system turns off the computer.
3 Unplug and remove any cables connected to the
computer, including the AC adaptor.
HINT: To purchase additional memory modules, see the accessories
information packaged with your system or visit
accessories.toshiba.com.
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.
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.
