Installing a memory module

Additional memory modules can be installed in the memory
module slots on the base of the computer. 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

“Setting up your

software” on page 45

To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a standard
Phillips No. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition.

damage the computer, the module, or both.

Slot B. You can install one or two memory modules.

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.
