Installing A Memory Module - Toshiba M205-S810 - Portege - Pentium M 1.5 GHz User Manual

Installing a memory module

Your computer is equipped with two memory slots which can
provide for various memory configurations. When additional
memory is added, or original memory replaced, it is
recommended that you use only compatible memory. In the
event original memory is replaced with invalid memory, the
system will beep and will not boot beyond the BIOS memory
check. A message may display. If this occurs, contact
Toshiba's support center at (800) 457-7777.
Since your computer was built to order, it should have enough
memory to run your current applications. However, if your
requirements change, you can install extra memory.
Additional memory modules can be installed in the memory
expansion slots on the base of the computer. You will need a
standard Phillips no.1 screwdriver for this procedure.
To avoid damaging the computer's screws, use a standard
Phillips no. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition.
Do not install or remove a memory module while any internal
or external drive power is on.
Installing a memory module with the computer's power on may
damage the computer, the module, or both.
Make sure that the computer is not in Hibernation or Standby
mode (see
