Optional Devices

If you install a memory module that is not compatible with the computer, a

beep will sound when you turn on the power. If the incompatible module is

installed in slot A, there will be a long beep (1 second) followed by one

short beep (0.5 seconds), while if the incompatible module is in slot B, there

will be a long beep followed by two short beeps. In the event both modules

are incompatible, there will be a long beep followed by one short beep, a

pause, and then a long beep followed by two short beeps. In all instances

you should shut down the computer and remove the incompatible

module(s).

Installing memory module

There are slots for two memory modules, one over the other. The

procedures are the same for installing either module.
1. Set the computer to boot mode and turn the computer’s power off.

Make sure the Power indicator is off. Refer to the

Turning off the power

section in Chapter 3,

Getting Started

.

2. Remove AC adaptor and all cables connected to the computer.
3. Turn the computer upside down and remove the battery pack. Refer to

the

section in Chapter 6,

, for details.

4. Turn your computer over.
5. Slide the display latch on the front of the computer and open the LCD

display panel.

Use only memory modules approved by TOSHIBA.

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

conditions as you can damage the computer and/or the module, and

you risk losing data:

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 size1 Phillips screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws.

Use of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
