Setting up your computer and getting started
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.
Additional memory comes in various capacities (visit the
Toshiba Web site at accessories.toshiba.com for more
information). There are two memory slots. Your system may
have both slots occupied.
You need a standard Phillips No. 1 screwdriver to install a

memory module.

If the computer is on, begin at step 1, otherwise, skip to
step 3.
1 If the computer is on, click Start, Turn Off Computer.
The Turn off computer window appears.
2 Click Turn Off.
The operating system turns off the computer.
3 Unplug and remove any cables connected to the
computer, including the AC adapter cord.
4 Remove the battery.
5 Close the display panel and turn the computer upside
down to locate the memory module slot cover.
If you use the computer for a long time, the memory modules will
become hot. If this happens, let the modules cool to room
temperature before you replace them.
To avoid damaging the computer's screws, use a standard Phillips
No. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition.
Do not try to install a memory module under the following
conditions. You can damage the computer and the memory module.
1. The computer is turned on.
