Getting Started
Adding memory (optional)
When you turn on the computer for the first time, do not turn off the 
power again until the operating system has loaded completely.
Adding memory (optional)
HINT: To purchase additional memory modules, see the accessories 
information packaged with your system or visit 
.
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 or memory, Toshiba recommends 
setting up your software. See 
.
Installing a memory module
Memory modules 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 may 
be hot. The surrounding area may also be hot. Allow the module to 
cool to room temperature before replacing it. Avoid touching the 
cover, the module, 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.
The computer has two memory slots—Slot A and Slot B. You can 
install one or two memory modules.
