Optional accessories
You are able to add a number of options and accessories in order to make
your computer even more powerful and convenient to use. For reference,
the following list details some of the items that are available from your
reseller or TOSHIBA dealer:
CD/DVD Drive
Acoustic Silencer
The CD/DVD Drive Acoustic Silencer utility
allows you to configure the read speed at which
the optical disc drive will operate. In use you can
select either Normal Mode, which will operate
the drive at its maximum speed for quick data
access, or Quiet Mode, which operates the drive
at single speed for audio CD playback and which
can lessen the operational noise. This utility does
not have any function when using DVD’s.
DDR2-800
Memory Kit
A 1,024MB, 2,048MB or 4,096MB memory
module (DDR2-800) can easily be installed in the
computer.
Battery Pack An additional battery pack can be purchased for
use as either a spare or replacement. Please
refer to Chapter 6, Power, for further information.
Universal AC
Adaptor
If you frequently use your computer at more than
one site, it may be convenient to purchase an
additional AC adaptor to be kept at each site in
order to remove the need to always carry the
adaptor with you.
USB FDD Kit The USB floppy diskette drive accommodates
either a 1.44MB or 720KB floppy diskette through
connection to one of the computer’s USB ports.
In use, please be aware that, while you cannot
format 720KB floppy diskettes under Windows
Vista, you are able to read and write to diskettes
that have already been formatted.
Battery Charger The optional battery charger allows you to
charge extra battery packs outside of having to
use the computer.
