Additional memory module

You can install additional memory into the computer in order to increase the

amount of system memory that is available. This section describes how to

install and remove optional memory modules.

Installing a memory module

To install a memory module, follow the steps as detailed below:
1. Shut down the computer - make sure the Power indicator is off (refer to

the

Turning off the power

section in Chapter 1,

Getting Started

if

required).

2. Remove the AC adaptor and all cables and peripherals connected to

the computer.

3. Close the display panel.

You should place a mat beneath the computer in order to prevent the

computer's lid from becoming scratched or damaged when you are

installing/replacing the memory module. In this instance you should

avoid mats that are made of materials that hold or generate static

electricity.

When installing or removing a memory module, you must ensure that

you do not touch any other internal areas of the computer.

Insert the two memory modules into Slot A and Slot B respectively.

The computer will operate in dual channel mode.

You can access the inserted memory modules efficiently in dual

channel.

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

screws - the use of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw

heads.

Use only memory modules approved by TOSHIBA.

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

conditions.

1. The computer is turned on.
2. The computer was shut down in either Sleep or Hibernation Mode.
3. Wake-up on LAN is enabled.
4. The wireless communication function is on.

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

computer. It could cause malfunction or electric shock.

Additional memory module 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 additional memory modules. To discharge

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

bare hands.
