Memory expansion
You can install additional memory in the computer’s memory module
sockets to increase the amount of RAM. This section describes how to
install and remove a memory module.
Before you install or remove a memory module, turn off the computer with
the Shut Down option in the Windows Start menu. If you install or remove
a memory module while the computer is in Standby or Hibernation mode,
data will be lost.
Some memory modules can be physically installed but are not compatible
with the computer. In this case the computer will issue a warning.
Satellite A30 series: There will be a long beep, 3 short beeps, 3 more
short beeps and then a long beep when you turn the power on. In this
case, shut down the power and remove the incompatible memory
module.
If you want to upgrade system memory, you should only use certified
modules. Ask your vendor or check the TOSHIBA web site for a list of
approved memory products.
Installing memory module
If you use the computer for a long time, the memory modules will become
hot. In this case, let the memory modules cool to room temperature
before you replace them.
Follow these steps to install a memory module:
1. Set the computer to boot mode and turn off the power.
Do not try to install a memory module under the following conditions. You
can damage the computer and the module:
The computer is turned on.
The computer was shut down using the Stand by mode.
2. Remove all cables connected to the computer.
3. Turn the computer upside down and remove the battery (refer to
Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes).
4. Remove the screws securing the memory module socket cover.
