Adding optional external devices
Before adding external devices, Toshiba recommends setting up your
software. See “Setting up your software” on page 41.
After starting your computer for the first time you may want to:
❖ Connect external devices (see “Connecting an external device”
on page 58)
❖ Connect an external monitor (see “Using external display
devices” on page 58)
Adding memory (optional)
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. Contact the location you purchased the computer at for more
information on adding memory to your computer. Toshiba will not
be responsible for any product damage, data loss, service or part
replacement made necessary by improper installation of a memory
module.
