Getting Started

Adding memory (optional)

HINT: To purchase additional memory modules, see the

accessories information packaged with your system or visit

accessories.toshiba.com.

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.
