Orange Micro RAMPAK 4GS - Manual (Page 9)

ending with sockets 3 & 4, all of which are located in row
A. You may then continue to BANK 1, row B, where the
first chips will be installed in sockets 1 and 2. This right-
to-left, top-to-bottom format is consistent throughout the
expansion of the RamPak 4GS. Expanding in this way is
necessary to allow RAM expansion without resetting
switches or jumpers on the board or the computer.
Once you have identified the locations in which your
new chips will be installed, note the notches (or dimples)
molded into one end of each chip. These indicate the
location of pin 1, which must be inserted into the proper
location on the socket. You will also notice that each
socket has a notch at one end. Your new chips should
be installed such that all the above-mentioned notches
line up, with the chip notches located nearest the serial
number end of the RamPak 4GS board.
Before handling chips, touch any metal part of your
Apple’s back panel to discharge static electricity. To
insert a RAM chip, first set the chip in the intended
socket. If all the pins are resting properly in the socket,
insert by pressing directly and evenly down on the chip
until it is fully inserted. If the pins do not line up, you may
have to bend them slightly before insertion. Very gently
hold the chip by the pins between your thumb and
forefinger and apply short squeezes until the pins are in
the proper positions for socket insertion.
Once all of the chips are inserted, double check for
bent or broken pins, and make adjustments or
replacements as necessary. Then reinstall the RamPak
4GS using the installation instructions found on page 3,
beginning with step 5.
