Installing a memory module
To install a memory module, follow the steps as detailed below:
1. Shut down the computer - make sure the Power indicator is off (refer to
the Turning off the power section in chapter 1, Getting Started if
required).
2. Remove the AC adaptor and all cables and peripherals connected to
the computer.
3. Close the display panel.
■ You should place a mat beneath the computer in order to prevent the
computer's lid from becoming scratched or damaged when you are
installing/replacing the memory module. In this instance you should
avoid mats that are made of materials that hold or generate static
electricity.
■ When installing or removing a memory module, you must ensure that
you do not touch any other internal areas of the computer.
■ Insert the two memory modules into Slot A and Slot B respectively. The
computer will operate in dual channel mode. You can access the
inserted memory modules efficiently in dual channel.
Use only memory modules approved by TOSHIBA.
Do not try to install or remove a memory module under the following
conditions.
■ The computer is turned on.
■ The computer was shut down in either Sleep or Hibernation Mode.
■ Wake-up on LAN is enabled.
■ The wireless communication functionalities are turned on.
■ USB Sleep and Charge function is enabled.
Be careful not to let screws or other foreign matter fall into the computer. It
could cause malfunction or electric shock.
Additional memory module is a precision electronic component that may be
fatally damaged by static electricity. Since the human body can carry static
electricity, it is important that you discharge yourself before touching or
installing any additional memory modules. To discharge your body’s static
electricity, simply touch any metal close to you with bare hands.
Use a point size 0 Phillips screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws -
the use of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
