Bridge media slot
The computer is equipped with a Bridge media slot that can accommodate 
some kinds of memory media with various memory capacities so that you 
can easily transfer data from devices, such as digital cameras and 
Personal Digital Assistants. 
Examples of memory media
Memory media
This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle 
your memory media.
Points to note about the SD/SDHC memory card
SD/SDHC memory cards comply with SDMI (Secure Digital Music 
Initiative), which is a technology adopted to prevent unlawful copy or 
playback of digital music. For this reason, you cannot copy or playback 
protected material on another computer or other device, and you may not 
reproduce any copyrighted material except for your personal enjoyment.
Below is a simple explanation for distinguishing SD memory cards from 
SDHC memory cards.
■SD and SDHC memory cards appear the same externally.
■The logo on SD and SDHC memory cards is different, so pay careful 
attention to the logo when purchasing.
■Keep foreign objects out of the Bridge media slot. Never allow metal 
objects, such as screws, staples and paper clips, to enter the computer 
or Keyboard. Foreign metal objects can create a short circuit, which 
can cause computer damage and fire, possibly resulting in serious 
injury.
■This Bridge media slot supports the following memory media.
■Secure Digital (SD) Card (SD memory card, SDHC memory card, 
miniSD Card, microSD Card).
■MultiMediaCard (MMC)
■To use a micro or mini SD card, an SD adaptor is required.
■Please note that an adaptor is required to use miniSD/microSD Card.
■Please note that not all memory media have been tested and verified 
to work correctly. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee that all 
memory media will operate properly.

							User’s Manual8-3
Optional Devices
■The maximum capacity of SD memory cards is 2GB. The maximum 
capacity of SDHC memory cards is 32GB.
Memory media format
New media cards are formatted according to specific standards. If you wish 
to reformat a media card, be sure to do so with a device that uses media 
cards.
Formatting an SD/SDHC memory card
SD/SDHC memory cards are sold already formatted in conformity to 
specific standards. If you reformat an SD/SDHC memory card, be sure to 
reformat it with a device such as digital camera or digital audio player that 
uses the SD/SDHC memory cards, not with the format command provided 
within Windows.
Additional memory module
This section describes how to install and remove optional memory 
modules.
■The SD memory card logo is ( ).
■The SDHC memory card logo is ( ).
Card TypeCapacities
SD8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 
512MB, 1GB, 2GB
SDHC4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB
Should you need to format all areas of the memory card, including the 
protected area, you will need to obtain an appropriate application that 
applies the copy protection system.
■You should place a mat beneath the computer in order to prevent the 
computers 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.

Installing a memory module
To install a memory module:
1. Shut down the computer - make sure the Power indicator is off (refer to 
the Turning off the power section in Chapter 3, Getting Started if 
required).
2. Remove the AC adaptor and all cables and peripherals 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 and Power-up 
Modes, if required.
4. Loosen the screw securing the memory module cover.
■Use only memory modules approved by TOSHIBA.
■Do not try to install or remove a memory module under the following 
conditions.
a. The computer is turned on.
b. The computer was shut down in either Standby or Hibernation 
Mode.
c. Wake-up on LAN is enabled.
d. The wireless communication is enabled.
e. USB Sleep and Charge function is enabled.
■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.
■Turn off the power and disconnect the AC adaptor when installing or 
replacing a memory module.
■If you use the computer for an extended period of time, the memory 
modules and the circuits located close to the memory modules will 
become hot. Allow then to cool to room temperature before you 
replace them.
