Getting Started
Adding memory (optional)
Before adding external devices or memory, Toshiba recommends 
setting up your software. See 
Installing a memory module
A memory module can be installed in the memory module slot
 
on 
the base 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 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 
.
