Adding optional external devices
Before adding external devices or memory, Toshiba recommends
setting up your software. See “Setting up your software” on page 42.
After starting your computer for the first time you may want to:
Add more memory (see “Adding memory (optional)” on
page 45)
Connecting external devices (see “Connecting an external
device” on page 67)
Connect an external monitor (see “Using external display
devices” on page 67)
Adding memory (optional)
HINT: To purchase additional memory modules, see the
accessories information packaged with your system or visit
accessories.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.

Installing a memory module
Memory modules can be installed in the memory module slots on
the underside of the computer. You will need a small Phillips
screwdriver for this procedure.
If the computer has been running recently, the memory module(s)
may be hot. The surrounding area may also be hot. Allow the
module(s) to cool to room temperature before replacing it. Avoid
touching the cover, the module(s), and the surrounding area before
they have cooled. Failure to follow these directions could result in
minor bodily injury.
