Installing a memory module
Your computer has two memory module slots. One slot is 
under the keyboard and should only be accessed by a Toshiba 
authorized service provider. The other memory module slot is 
accessible on the bottom of your computer, and memory 
capacity can be upgraded by removing and replacing the 
memory module in that slot. You will need a standard Phillips 
No.1 screwdriver for this procedure.
Before adding external devices or memory, Toshiba 
recommends setting up your software. See 
.
To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a standard 
Phillips No. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition. 
Installing a memory module with the computer’s power on may 
damage the computer, the module, or both.
Before you install or remove a memory module, turn off the 
computer using the Start menu. If you install or remove a 
memory module while the computer is in Standby or 
Hibernation mode, data will be lost.
If the computer is on, begin at step 
; otherwise, skip to step
