Introduction

You are able to add a number of options and accessories in order to make 

your computer even more powerful and convenient to use. For reference, 

the following list details some of the items that are available from your 

reseller or TOSHIBA dealer:

The CD/DVD Drive Acoustic Silencer utility 

allows you to configure the read speed at which 

the optical disc drive will operate. In use you can 

select either Normal Mode, which will operate 

the drive at its maximum speed for quick data 

access, or Quiet Mode, which operates the drive 

at single speed for audio CD playback and which 

can lessen the operational noise. This utility does 

not have any function when using DVD's.

Some models are equipped with a TOSHIBA 

Face Recognition. TOSHIBA Face Recognition 

uses a face verification library to verify the face 

data of users when they log in to Windows. If the 

verification is successful, the user will be logged 

into Windows automatically. The user can thus 

avoid having to enter a password or the like, 

which makes the login process easier.

1,024MB or 2,048MB memory module (DDR3/ 

1066) can easily be installed in the computer.

An additional battery pack can be purchased for 

use as either a spare or replacement. Please 

refer to Chapter 6, 

 for futher information.

If you frequently use your computer at more than 

one site, it may be convenient to purchase an 

additional AC adaptor to be kept at each site in 

order to remove the need to always carry the 

adaptor with you.

The USB floppy diskette drive accommodates 

either a 1.44MB or 720KB floppy diskette through 

connection to one of the computer's USB ports. 

In use, please be aware that, while you cannot 

format 720KB floppy diskettes under Windows 

Vista

TM

, you are able to read and write to 

diskettes that have already been formatted.
