Memory expansion

This computer has a single memory module socket located on its underside

- depending on the standard memory configuration of your computer, this

socket may or may not be populated. You can increase the capacity of

RAM by installing additional an memory module or replacing the existing

module with one of a higher capacity.

Some memory modules can be physically installed but are not compatible

with the computer. In this case, the computer will issue a warning. When

you turn on the power, a series of short beeps will sound in the pattern of

one, three, three, one. Shut down the power and remove the incompatible

module.

Place a mat beneath the computer to prevent scratching or damaging

the computer's lid when installing/replacing the memory module. Avoid

any materials that generate static electricity.

When you remove a memory, please do not touch other portions of a

computer.

Use only memory modules approved by TOSHIBA.

Do not try to install or remove a memory module under the following

conditions. You can damage the computer and the module. Also, data

will be lost.
a. The computer is turned on.
b. The computer was shut down using either Standby mode or

Hibernation mode.

c. Wake-up on LAN is enabled.

Be careful not to let screws or other foreign matter fall into the

computer. It could cause malfunction or electric shock.

Expansion memory is a precision electronic component that may be

fatally damaged by static electricity. Since the human body can carry

static electricity, it is important that you discharge yourself before

touching or installing any expansion memory modules. To discharge

your body’s static electricity, simply touch any metal close to you with

bare hands.

Use a point size 0 Phillips screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws.

Use of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
