Memory expansion

You can install additional memory in the computer’s memory module slot to

increase the amount of RAM. This section describes how to install and

remove a memory module.

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

the power LED will flashes (on for 0.5 seconds, off for 0.5 seconds) in the

following ways;
If there is only an error in Slot A: repeatedly flashes orange twice, then

green.

If there is only an error in Slot B: repeatedly flashes orange, then green

twice.

If there is an error in Slot A and in Slot B: repeatedly flashes orange twice,

then green twice.

Place a mat beneath the computer to prevent scratching or damaging

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

mats made of materials that generate static electricity.

When you install or remove a memory module, ensure that you do not

touch any other internal areas of the computer.

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 in either Sleep 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 #0 point Phillips screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws. Use

of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
