OPTIONAL DEVICES
Formatted SD cards
Usually new SD cards are pre-formatted before shipping.
When you reformat the formatted SD cards, select the Toshiba SD card format as a
format type. Formatted SD cards can also be reformatted with devices that use this
type of memory card (digital cameras and audio players).
Refer to the manual or help provided with devices you are using for instructions to
format SD cards on these devices.
NOTES: 1. Do not format SD cards on Windows (My Computer screen).
In some cases, these cards cannot be used on other devices
including digital cameras and audio players.
2. Reformatting will delete any information on the SD card. Be
careful when you reformat SD cards that contain
information.

Memory expansion
This computer is equipped with two memory module sockets; Slot A beneath the
keyboard and Slot B in the backside of the computer. You can increase the amount
of RAM to 1024MB by installing an additional memory or replacing default memo-
ries with additional memories.
NOTES: 1. Observe the following instructions according to the model
you purchased.
a. Install an additional memory module to Slot B for the
computer with vacant Slot B.
b. You can increase the memory amount by replacing the
memory module in Slot A and/or B with a memory
module of larger memory amount when both Slot A and
Slot B are occupied. However, replacing of memory
module in Slot B is recommended because it is easier to
replace the memory module in Slot B than A.
c. It is strongly recommended to leave the replacing of
memory module preinstalled in Slot A to TOSHIBA
dealer because the installing or replacing of memory
module in Slot A needs skill.
