Installing additional memory (optional)
CAUTION: 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.
A memory module must be installed in slot A. Do not try to oper-
ate the computer with a memory module in slot B only.
If you install a memory module that is incompatible with the
computer, a beep will sound when you turn on the computer. If the
module is installed in slot A, there will be a long beep followed by
a short beep. If the module is in slot B, there will be a long beep
followed by two short beeps. In this case, turn off the computer
and remove the incompatible module.
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
Toshiba’s Web site at
toshiba.com for more information). There
are two memory slots. Your system may have both slots
occupied.
CAUTION: 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.
