Adding memory (optional)
HINT: To purchase additional memory modules, see the
accessories information packaged with your system or visit

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.
Before adding external devices, Toshiba recommends first setting up
the software.
Installing a memory module
Memory modules can be installed in the memory module slots on
the back 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 of the correct size that is in good condition.
Installing a memory module with the computer’s power on will
damage the computer, the module, or both. Always turn the
computer's power off first.
