Adding optional external devices
Before adding external devices or memory, Toshiba
recommends setting up your software. See “Setting up your
software” on page 45.
After starting your computer for the first time you may want
to:
Add more memory (see “Adding memory (optional)” on
page 55)
Connect a mouse (see “Using a mouse” on page 80)
Connect a full-size keyboard (see “Using an external
keyboard” on page 80)
Connect an external monitor (see “Using external display
devices” on page 78)
Connect a local printer (see “Connecting a printer” on
page 81)
Connect an optional external disk drive (see “Connecting
an optional external diskette drive” on page 83)
Install PC Cards (see “Using PC Cards” on page 150)
Connecting to a power source
Your computer requires power to operate. Use the power cord/
cable and AC adaptor to connect the computer to a live electrical
outlet, or to charge the computer’s battery.
Never pull on a power cord/cable to remove a plug from a
socket. Always grasp the plug directly. Failure to follow this
instruction may damage the cord/cable, and/or result in a fire
or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
NOTE
