memory card until you hear it click into place.

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.

Set the write-protect switch to the lock position, if you do not want to record

data.

■ 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 the Sleep Mode or Hibernation

Mode.

■ When incorrect memory is inserted, please refer to Memory expansion

section in Chapter 9, Troubleshooting, for details.

■ Expansion memory is a precision electronic component that may be

fatally damaged by static electricity. Since the human body has slight

static electricity, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body

before installing an expansion memory module. To discharge your

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

hands.

Use a point size 1 Phillips screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws.

Use of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
