automatically when the RamPak 4GS is properly installed
in your Apple. Your computer knows to look for available
memory every time you turn it on, so the RamPak's
expansion benefits are immediately realized. Memory
management is up to you. It is accomplished through
use of the RamPak system utilities, which may be
implemented at any time once the RamPak 4GS is
installed. This manual is structured along these
guidelines, beginning with the procedure to install and
expand the RamPak card, then continuing with the
proper installation and use of the utilities software. This
will enable you to experience the advantages of an
expanded system immediately, and to take advantage of
efficient memory management as you wish.

INSTALLATION OF THE RAMPAK INTO

THE APPLE IIGS

This section will instruct you how to physically install

the RamPak 4GS in your Apple IIGS. Once this is
completed, your Apple’s internal addressable memory
will be increased by the amount of RAM present on the
RamPak 4GS. As both the Apple IIGS and the RamPak
4GS implement automatic memory configuration, no
resetting of switches or jumpers will be required to
recognize memory additions. Your system is smart
enough to use whatever memory configuration you
install.

Installing the RamPak 4GS requires no additional

hardware. Simply clear a modest area around your Apple
IIGS, and remove the monitor and any other
devices from the top of the CPU.
