Getting Started
Adding memory (optional)
Before adding external devices or memory, Toshiba recommends
setting up your software. See “Setting up your software” on page 40.
Installing a memory module
A memory module can be installed in the memory module slot on
the base 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.
To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a small Phillips
screwdriver that is in good condition.
Installing a memory module with the computer’s power on may
damage the computer, the module, or both.
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.
If the computer is on, begin at step 1; otherwise, skip to step 3.
1 Click Start, and then Turn Off computer.
The Turn off computer window appears.
2 Click Turn Off.
The operating system turns off the computer.
3 Unplug and remove any cables connected to the computer,
including the AC adaptor.
