Installing additional memory (optional)
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 operate the
computer with a memory module in slot B only.
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 start up beyond the BIOS memory check. A
message will display. If this occurs, contact Toshiba’s support center. See
“Toshiba voice contact” on page 27.
HINT: To purchase additional memory modules, visit the Toshiba Web site at
toshiba.com.
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.
There are two memory slots. Your system may have both slots occupied.
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.
Do not try to install a memory module under the following conditions. You
can damage the computer and the module.
1. The computer is turned on.
2. The computer was shut down using Standby mode.
3. Power to the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive has been turned on.
Do not install or remove a memory module while the DVD-ROM or multi-
function drive power is on.
