IIGSRAM8M  Installation 

 

This chapter tells you how to install and test the IIGSRAM8M memory expansion 
cards.  Before  you  install  your  memory-expansion  card,  please  be  sure  to  read 
Setting Up Your Apple IIGS and the Apple IIGS Owner's Guide, You'll need to be 
particularly  familiar  with  the  Control  Panel  functions  as  this  manual  makes 
frequent reference to the Control Panel menu. 

 

Installation 

1.

 

Turn off the computer. 

Leave  the  computer  plugged  in  but  flip  the  power  switch  to  the  OFF 
position. 

2.

 

Remove the Apple ILGS cover. 

Locate  the  two  latches  on  either  side  of  the  backplate.  Push  in  on  the 
latches while pulling up and back on the lid. 

3.

 

Touch the power supply case. 
 
This will discharge any static electricity that may be on your body. Do not 
skip  this  step.  Static  electricity  can  ruin  chips  on  the  board  and  in  the 
computer. 
 

4.

 

Remove the memory-expansion card from its anti-static bag. 
Hold the card by the edges. Do not touch the gold fingers of the card. 
 

5.

 

Position the memory expansion card over the Memory Expansion Slot 
The  Memory  expansion  slot  is  located  in  the  front  right  corner  of  the 
computer , see figure .
