Memory expansion
You can install additional memory in the computer’s memory module socket
to increase the amount of RAM. This section describes how to install and
remove a memory module.
Installing memory modules
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.
2. Remove AC adaptor and all cables connected to the computer.
3. Turn the computer upside down and remove the battery pack. Refer to
Replacing the battery pack section in Chapter 6, Power, for details.
4. Loosen the screw securing the memory module cover. The screw is
attached to the cover to prevent it from being lost.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Be careful not to let screws or other foreign matter fall into the
computer. It could cause malfunction or electric shock.
Use a point size 0 Phillips screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws.
Use of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
